"useful for what most men do in life" - What are you referring to here? Because my answer to that would be just going through the motions and not thinking very much about anything, like most women too ("most men" is the bottom half of the bell curve plus a few more).
- jdthedisciple 2y agoPursuing professions and passions to do with things rather than people, and in particular with abstract and logical thinking, such as mathematics, technology but even philosophy and musical composition. Generally! (Obv. it's normal distributions all the way down, though with different centers between male and female) For more fascinating insights on how his starts at birth, see this enlightening classic lecture which is an absolute must watch on this topic: "Autism and the male brain" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjE_yaJjXE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjE_yaJjXE8]
- proudeu 2y agoLol, most men are barely scraping by and thinking what to eat. Even in richer countries like US or Poland only like top 5% would partake in such activities like you described. On average men do more manual labour that required no abstract thinkng than women. Yeah you live in a bubble

- amelius 2y agoIt simply means that you have your own gray matter plus the gray matter of the other person.
- jdthedisciple 2y agoWell, apparently only if you are of the same sex as the other person, otherwise the ratio would differ quite a bit..
