How many of you guys would bet money on the big bang theory being true? If there is a non-zero chance of physics working the way they do now a day from now, and we take that tiny chance to the power of 13 billion, how likely do you think it is that those laws would remain the same tomorrow? This is the problem with hypothesis like these, they are nothing more than a collection of ad-hoc rationalizations with a complete lack of falsifiability and zero practical uses. You may think "if they aren't hurting anyone, why do you dislike them so much?", but I have a reason, and that is that the masses are basically the church, and the scientists are basically the priests, so what happens when these hypotheses are conflated with real, practical sciences, and at what point does science become rife with corrupt people like the catholic church is today? I'll tell you what, people stop believing in the religion that is science and we go back to more primitive times. I don't want that to happen, and I'm sure at least a handful of you don't want the same. Anyone have thoughts on the matter?
GED math practice test gave a bunch of problems with the correct answer so that I could study. I came to this one and it seems like the answer they outlined is wrong, and the correct answer is C. Am I right or am I misunderstanding how to do it?
This is the final draft. It took me about 3 months to get here, and nothing much more can be said. It's quite obvious from the start and there will be more.
So from what I understand there is verbal and non-verbal intelligence. Women IN GENERAL possess mainly verbal intelligence, whereas men usually possess one or the other. This makes sense from an evolutionary point of view. The men who went out hunting had to have a pretty good idea of their enviorment, high amounts of visual processing and mapping a 3D environment in their head, tracking skills, etc, the numerates today are primarily the descendants of these men, the ones that have high non-verbal intelligence, these are the mathematicians, the physicists, the computer scientists, the engineers, the inventors, the mechanics, the chemists etc. The men who stayed back to protect the tribe, to keep things in order, to plan for the future, to make sure there was enough food, etc. today these are the doctors, lawyers, politicians, philosophers, logicians, biologists, psychologists, legal theorists, etc. Now, these latter men who have the same kind of intelligence that most women have generally still find themselves in more "analytical" professions because all men, regardless of intelligence, are still more naturally analytical than women for the reason that they were either the hunters or protectors. The females were mainly the gatherers. So the female descendents today that all descend from those first females are today's nurses, hair dressers, lovers of fashion, biologists, lawyers, social workers, teachers, nutritionists, etc. With female verbal intelligence comes more emotion since women are naturally more emotional than men and so pick professions more related to relationships and etc. There is some overlap in profession with the male verbal intellects and females, but again the men still tend towards the more analytical professions.
