The way humans are evolving is in the direction of becoming more and more childlike. In the field of biology this process is called neoteny. It means that a species in it's adult form retains the childlike traits of it's ancestors. We are basically childlike apes, as our skulls are shaped like the skulls of baby apes. On itself this may seem like a negative direction to evolve in, but remaining more in a childlike state is also seen as the reason why we have become more intelligent than other primates as the brains of baby apes are relatively much bigger than adult apes. In biology the size of the brains are related to the intelligence of species (humans of course have the biggest brains of all creatures). So basically being childlike makes us smarter than being more adult like.
Animals that remain in their chidllike state also remain to have other personality traits of their childlike state. For example, curiousity and the desire to play is also related to being in a childlike state. In humans it can be observed that for example east asians are on average more neotenous (looking childlike) than for example whites and blacks. East asians on average also have a higher IQ than the other 2 groups. However, also they on average also have other more childlike interests like a high degree of interest in things that look 'cute', even when they are adults (like kawaii characters in things like anime).

Don't act like anything. Neutrality is always best... |

don't act! theatre is always the worst |

I don't know if higher IQ can be attributed to this in South East Asians. They all have a more hard-working culture than we do, so in a way they make the kids grow up faster, and I'd daresay the cutesy stuff is the inevitable reaction against this. |

I will point out that brain size, while definitely contributing to intelligence, is not directly correlated to intelligence as much as it is to body size. for instance, whales and elephants have the largest brains but are less intelligent than humans, because most of that brain matter is used to monitor the sensations of their massive bodies and then give responses to their many muscles. and crows have tiny brains while being remarkably more intelligent than most dogs. |

well this is because Europeans actually invented sex. Prior to European invention other cultures relied on artificial insemination that would be carried out by the village elder or similar esteemed clansmen. Of course the practice caught on as a fun new variation of an age old custom. |
>> |
Meanwhile in other areas, particularly in the middle east, sex was relatively unknown among the tribes that lived there as it had become lost with the rest of knowledge thanks to the Library of Alexandria having been burnt by Caesar, that asshole!! ヽ(`Д´)ノ |

I don't know if anyone is gonna read this but I joined a boxing club a month ago (started at 28 August ) and tomorrow I will probably fight against someone from another club. It is stressing me so much that I can't sleep. Whenever we spar in the club I feel like everyone is laughing at me. I hate this and I want to sleep and never wake up. I should have never left my confort zone. It is a lie by successful people to make fun of losers like me.
Thanks for reading my blog.
This is not serious and it is not a su*cider note. Please don't delete.

I had a dream last night where I met britney spears and she found out about the crude things I say to people online and she said I'm a disgusting terrible person and wanted me to answer for it, what is wrong with me - I said nothing and I can explain but it would take a long time, I will explain if you want. She said yes, and I will give you $5M, but there's a catch - you need to do it in front of my confidants and on live tv, and as soon as she started saying that I was like hell no then I woke up lol. |
I spend several hours a day looking at computer screens. i have a led monitor now but i kinda want a crt just because they look alot crisper with my resolution settings. But I heard they make your eyes radioactive and strain them more, is that true?
>> |
I thought it was better for some things. They're getting popularer |
>> |
At lower refresh rates (below 85-100Hz) CRT monitors will typically strain ur eyes a lot more than LCDs, but I dunno about higher refresh rates |
is animal gore allowed on /b/?

Probably, but i would certainly consider it in bad taste, so pls don't |

Fuck you OP |
Have you listened to Kahjo's programme on the radio? He only talks about trivial things like 'remember to eat so that you don't get hungry but you still will'. How can people not be ashamed of listening to that? Evidently it has some form of listener base since the same programme plays every week, unbelievable
>> |
I don't know about that program, but it's not unusual for people to just want to have some sort of human "noise" while driving that's not talking about anything deep |
>> |
i truly dislike having tv on in teh background just for "noise". For me it is real noise which annoys me. I like good music though. |

"MS PGothic" should have priority over external fonts (AKA put earlier in the font-family list) since it's the original font that all the others are attempting to replicate/substitute |

When you think of the ideal woman, what images go through your mind? Voluptuous breasts? Silky legs? Smooth and creamy skin? No Pubes? A new 1986 Ford Taurus? I personally see an image of an 12-foot tall woman wearing nothing but a bathrobe, high heel shoes, and a bra made out of reinforced dental floss, but then again I often feel the need to break furniture when I orgasm, so perhaps I don't speak for the majority of my audience here.

This is my last week of almost a year-long practical NEETness (・A・) |

I spend all day reading ancient scriptures of Sufism and Zen Buddhism. Hardcore stuff like getting beat for annoying sensei and not eating for 40 days. Since I'm a hikineet I might as well live like a monk and attain virtue. When I'm done with that I do shit ton of programming in linux. |

I stay up all night working on my evil plans (´・ω・`) |
