hehe. I will point out in the spirit of fairness that intelligent people make mistakes too and are known to be wrong.

People can't be truly concerned about the well being of 15-20 people. Its a physiological limit.

So, what Kanazawa is telling is that those who are more intelligent tend to look for things to do/believe that are against the norm.

Or:
Quote:
Bailey also said that these preferences may stem from a desire to show superiority or elitism...

In either case these beliefs have little to do with the veracity of their "against the grain" stances, and more to do with the people themselves.
That's pretty telling.

In fact, aligning oneself with "unconventional" philosophies such as liberalism or atheism may be "ways to communicate to everyone that you're pretty smart," he said.


Unconventional? Haven't these guys visited a college campus lately? Hell, I'm even in conservative Utah and I meet far more people who would consider themselves liberal than anything else in my classes and stuff.

But I definitely agree that in general people would like you to believe that they're smart when they tell you they're liberal.

Intelligence doesn't cure laziness, apathy, poor social skills, recklessness, and many other such character flaws. A high intelligence is secondary to many other traits in advancing a person's well-being.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Behaviors may stem from desire to show superiority or elitism, which also has to do with IQ
For men, sexual exclusivity goes against the grain evolutionarily
None of this means that humans are evolving toward a future where such traits are the default


Makes sense to me. Men are chest thumping whores that'll shag everything that moves, and only the smart ones can resist.

I find the definition they use for liberalism vs. conservatism in that study interesting. It changes the meaning vs. what many readers would probably assume had they skimmed the article.

They interviewed kids. People's brains and philosophies aren't completely formed until their late 20's at the earliest.

Two discoveries prompted much of their scientific interest: that teenagers' brains are only about 80 percent fully developed and that brain development isn't complete until people reach their 20s or even 30s—more than a decade later than experts had thought.

I wonder if that's always been the case, or if this has resulted from our increased longevity? In other words, whe the average life expectancy was 30 years, did the brains develop the entire time or were they developed by, say 18?

I doubt it. Part of the reason life expectancy is so low in earlier eras is the infant and childhood moratlity rate. People who survived to adulthood generally did expect to live considerably longer than age 30.

Yeh, with a LE of 30, we'd have 16 year olds having mid-life crises.
