I'm not following how one random outlier with a botched penis is proof or refutation of anything. The plural of anecdote is not data, and a singular anecdote is definitely not data. As for your second point, not so much trained them to be dumb but certainly not incentivized them for...

Yeah, I have that on my office door, because I have a degree in stats.

Desktop full of shortcuts? You're one ofthosepeople.

None of this argument even hasanythingto do with clinical psychology. Clinical psychology is the treatment of disorder. This is all academic psychology.

It would make plenty of sense to anyone that had a basic understanding of modern psychology. I'm not going to explain the differences and intersections of 7 different major disciplines of psychology AND then go into how they interact with neurobiology. Unlike physics or math, psychology...

Yes, but you don't know anything about EITHER side. Which makes this pointless.

I have literally no incentive to teach a cliffnotes version of 200-600 level psych courses to get you guys up to speed enough for this to be a real discussion. I'm going to get trolled either way. It's just not something I feel like doing. I would literally rather mow my lawn. Basically...

I've never had any black friends. I also don't drink, and haven't done any drugs in a long time. I wonder if there's a connection there.

She's got a point. First wave feminism was pretty racist. Then again, first wave american democracy was pretty racist.

I was going to buy a bunch of sets as future collectors items but I decided it wasn't worth it.

For the sake of your own sanity I'd warn you to stay away from delving into the internal pissing contests between the different disciplines within psychology.

Cognitive psychology is not the same thing as cognitive neuroscience. Cognitive psychology is about examining thought processes without looking at the underlying biology. Cognitive psychotherapy works by eliminating maladaptive thinking by employing various methods to manipulate the subject to...

That's really all that needed to be said in this thread.

You're right, it is lazy. I'm not going to try to teach a masters level course in behavioral psychology on an internet titty-posting forum. Therefore, because I'm lazy, all I'm saying is that behaviorism can already predict the vast majority of human behavior and these biological theories...

I hate crybaby internet feminists as much as you guys. I hate most feminists in general, because they tend to say I engage in too much 'victim blaming' to be a feminist. Because calling out stupid people for putting themselves in stupid situations is 'victim blaming' instead of common sense.

Because Canada. It's kinda like America, but with less black people to clog up the courts for petty drug crimes.

You're right, it is. That's why I'm doing it.

I'm just saying that while it's really easy to be a stupid internet feminist when you're white and upper class (the usual band of idiots holding I need feminist signs and posting to their feminist blogs,) it's also pretty easy to be stupid internet anti-feminist when you're white and upper...

One of them should just post a sign that says "I don't need feminism because I have daddy's money."

Loves the D, can't spell neutral. Perfect.

"Now it was a thousand degrees in the Old City Hall courtroom, where the AC had to be turned off for anyone to have a prayer of hearing anyone else, and, as Judge Knazan later remarked, the proceedings were on the sixth day (albeit spread over months) in the fifth hour." It's also not a real...

At birth. After that, how do you separate what aspects of brain development are due to hormones and which are due to learned behaviors? Also, hormones are externally influenced, and that can have a lot to do with social structures, so even the hormone thing can become an inconsistent mess of...

I don't actually need to show any of that. I just need to show that behaviorism is a far more reliable predictor of behavior than neurobiology.

No. If we want to be totally frank, I think boys are rewarded with praise and affection for acquiring certain skills, especially stereotypical "boy" skills like spatial relations, certain types of motor skills, etc. Do this over and over again for the first 10 years your brain is highly...

Again, adult brains. You'd have to prove that their brains didn't develop that way in part (and I'd say a large part) because of external, socially constructed incentives/rewards for boys to be better at spatial relations.

Look a hundred pages back, or in the Elliot Rodger thread for my thoughts on this ridiculous assertion.

Great movie. Should have easily won an Oscar for something.

WTB Cryptonomicon movie but this is close enough.

It's not size but the fact that studying a sample of only psych students is a non-representative sample. It's by nature a self-selected sample (actually self-selected on quite a few nested levels: graduated high school, went to college, chose liberal arts, chose psychology) and totally not...

Extended Color Basic on the TRS-80 Color Computer was my first programming language. I had it down from the attic just the other day when I was installing a new ventilation fan + duct above the bathroom. It's got the fucking tape drive, 32k and everything but the damn modem. Zaxxon only takes...

I didn't say it was complete bullshit, but I do feel its dumb to say its conclusive of anything.

Sometimes you just don't get them?

Sometimes you just don't get them?

Your forum title should be Strawman Erection Specialist.

You should go look up my initial position since I just reposted it in the last page.

"Male brains, however, showed much greater activation, and the amount of activation was correlated with how much territory they gained. (This wasn't the case with women.)" Does nothing to refute that men could be conditioned via operant conditioning to get pleasure from acquiring territory.

Didn't mean they were more likely to have access to computers than men. But a lot of women in computer science in the 80s did first get experience with computers while doing office work. That's part of why "In the United States, the number of women represented in undergraduate computer science...

So, socially driven. Got it. Unless you're really going to explain how boys are biologically predisposed to interact with images projected on screens. My point was that boys played more video games because video game designers designed games for boys. Once there started to be more...

That wasn't evidence for an argument. That was a response to a baseless personal attack from lendarios.
