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).

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.
In terms of IQ, well simply Asians are whipped into actually using that big wet thing in their skulls, while in the West we have relaxed our ideas of education to the point where it's going backwards. I've talked to many teachers during high school because I had this gut feeling this was the case, and most of them who were educational veterans with decades on their belt, agreed at once, and admit they just do the best they can with what they've got. Educational departments fail to see that they must present a challenge to their students and get them to aim higher than they need to, to make them end up where they actually want them to be. Failure on the student's part is OK, if they made them strive hard.
You present neoteny as a mostly positive thing and also an Asian thing, but I think we also have neoteny in the West where it is certainly negative. Young adults are obsessed with recreating their shallow childhood experiences, playing Roblox or Minecraft, and continue to watch cartoon shows or do similar things, all in a chase of a nostalgia high. It's definitely done no good to us.

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.
also, while it's true that our skulls are more rounded and our jaws are far less developed than our primate cousins, I'm not sure neoteny was the path that we used to evolve that way.

from what I remember, the popular theory is that early hominids discovered how to cook meat and used fire enough for it to affect our evolution; our ancestors didn't require massive jaws to chew raw meat and therefore could afford to have shorter, rounder heads that could more easily accommodate larger brains. and because we could cook meat and eat it easily and learn how to use tools, we could afford to feed those larger brains.
so anyway, it was kind of a positive feedback loop until our jaws were much smaller, our brains were much larger, we invented more sophisticated tools, and we developed proper agriculture (which was a disaster for human health and nutrition, but that's another topic).

neoteny might have been a mechanic by which evolution shaped our skulls, but if it's true, I think that's more of a coincidence than anything else. it's not like neoteny is inherently good for us. also, I don't think the forces of evolution are acting on humanity as you imagine they are, at least outside of third world countries. no longer are we hunted by beasts, conquered and outbred by barbarians, or wiped out because we did not stockpile for the winter. nowadays the development of our gene pool is mostly decided by social factors/sexual selection instead of natural selection by nonhuman forces. people are able to reproduce rapidly because they have a lot of money or because the government will take care of them, while others do not reproduce because they feel financially insecure or simply don't want to have children (which is a luxury the common man can have in this day and age). there's in interesting trend that high IQ people tend to have fewer children than those of low IQ. so if humanity is still evolving, it might turn out that the future generations are in fact more stupid on average! (・∀・)

as a fun aside I've remembered just now, I once heard the theory that because of sexual selection, the beautiful, healthy, and/or intelligent tend to reproduce with others who have similarly valuable traits, and all the ugly, unhealthy, and/or stupid people are left to breed with each other. if this pattern continues over the course of many thousands of years, then humans could diverge into one superhuman group with a lot of good traits and one subhuman group with few positive traits whatsoever. since those two groups are unlikely to interbreed outside of rape, they could undergo sympatric speciation to become two separate species! an interesting theory, right?

>A lot of languages use a variation of "sex" for saying sex
How'd that happen? Americanization? Seems strange O_o
>>
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
Their existence was threatened as none of the newer generations knew how to procreate. However, aid would arrive soon to them in the form of the Mongols, who taught them the long lost art of sex! Such good samaritans were the Mongols that they did wait for the tribes to ask for their help! ヽ(´∇`)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 don't even know who these guys are. I am only doing boxing to be a strong and athletic man. But I don't have to do that if I just die.
I am lacking in reaction speed and defense and that makes me look like a retard in sparring and in fights. I can't stand this humiliation. I will keep going so I can say to myself "at least I tried". But that's it.

So why are you so bothered by loosing? Nothing humiliating in losing. Some of the best boxers lost and sucked when they were beginners. It's not humiliating to suck at sparring when your starting out. Its like that for everybody.

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

It's even more of an issue with 1990s/2000s CRT monitors than it is with older monitors or CRT TVs, since they generally have a lot less phospher persistance (the blanking between frames is more prominent and noticable) - howevar, this is also what allows them to go much higher in refresh rate without becoming a smeary mess

Something to keep in mind with CRT monitors is that there's always a balancing act between screen resolution and refresh rate - generally speaking, the lower resolution you go, the higher refresh rate you can use (and vice versa). Higher quality monitors will accept higher refresh rates at higher resolutions, but there will still be a trade-off somewhere

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. shii

"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

Having Windows users download and view AA on Heyuri with "saitamaar_light" is silly when they already have MS PGothic preinstalled with their OS sweat2

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.

Aside from that it's the regular mix of anime, manga, gaming and shitposting on Heyuri and other boards full of fellow neets, dokyuns and retards or finding stuff on sad panda I can post on /b/ for lolz.
