The burden of proof doesn't rest on the person arguing against your borderline phrenological explanations of intelligence.
And yes, faith in humanity IS needed for an enlightened thinker.
The meaning and purpose of life will never be proven. There is plenty of room for faith in our world of rationalism.
You need more art in your life! The world is more than just a bunch of metrics in a spreadsheet to fret and argue about.
We should be skeptical of superstitions, but not skeptical of love, truth, and beauty! Don't misinterpret the quest of the Enlightenment! To listen to love and to live!
- SilasX 13y agoHow is "different genes have different impact on different mental tasks" anything like a phrenological explanation?

- williamcotton 13y agoDon't project your misery on to me my friend, it is wasted breathe! I've got the fire of life on my tongue and your motivations are but wisps of faint discontent. In the raging flames of passion all you can see are your own fallacies. (get it, the play on "faux outrage"? faux/fallacies, outrage/raging flames? sorry to ruin the poem for you, but you know, part of the problem here is that too few people on this forum have ever learned how to read/listen/see...)
- girvo 13y agoI did get it, and it was very well done :)
