Emotional and Cognitive Genetic Influence

January 11th, 2010 · No Comments

I’m certainly no expert on population genetics, but some things just seem logical to me, yet are apparently completely lost on others. It’s when something so obvious, is so easily overlooked that I’m tempted to imagine that perhaps human Ostriches marry positions, and abandon honesty inquiry.
For instance, the word “Species” is a human [...]

Gattaca Revisited

June 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Chimps have been observed by many to try and increase their social status/rank through service to others in the clan. Is it prejudiced to believe we are morally superior to primates who express such a phenotype less, who have been less successful reproductively (presumably due to lack of organizational effectiveness and cooperation).
Geneticists (in the last [...]

The Hypocrisy of Omnivores Who Hate “Sport Hunting”

June 3rd, 2009 · No Comments

EDITORIAL NOTE:
What follows below is an extended comment on my last post about the qualities often found in a “Racist White-Trash Redneck” (RWTR).  Because of the length and considerable validity of the criticisms of the author, I am posting it separately to stand on it’s own, before I respond to it.
The author of the below [...]

My Trip to the Hunting Store

June 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

OUTLINE
In this (slightly longer post) I will begin with a statement of my personal position on the vegan life which I really don’t think I could handle.  I then qualify that by explaining the origins of my love for nature.  Finally, I begin the real meat of the story with a description of what seems [...]

Diversity Ed: Stripping Individuality from Teacher Clones

June 1st, 2009 · No Comments

Does the US Education system pressure teachers to conform, thereby stripping them of individuality, while forcing them to “teach” diversity?
A useful analogy here might be the “social contract” (http://tr.im/n2PN) harkening back to Hobbes and Locke.  In order to reap the benefits of goods and services which have been commoditized, we agree to cohere to the [...]

The Winner Is? (Heroin vs. Rage)

April 24th, 2009 · No Comments

The brain during orgasm looks like its on heroin; “95 percent is the same” http://tr.im/jC4I Race-based rejections insult & violence (by a few remaining Neanderthals) profoundly shape us. Which will win long-term? Heroin or Rage? Children are malleable as water before a freeze, but narrow depending on environment. We (all living things) are brothers, our [...]

The Aesthetics of Hip-Hop & Rap

October 26th, 2007 · No Comments

If you are listening to the radio now (online), try the channel ‘beatbasement’ on shoutcast.com, it’s my preferred rap channel, if I’m going to listen to internet radio rap (not often). However, for the most part, there is very little rap I enjoy these days; I mostly prefer rap from the golden age of the 90’s [...]

Patriotism and Prejudice

October 5th, 2007 · No Comments

NOTE: I prefer to use the male gender in literary analogy and example statements rather than a genderless pronoun (as in the phrase “one’s self”), or more inclusive phrase which includes male and female (such as the phrase, “he or she”). If you can’t get past that and still understand my meaning, please [...]
