Are vegetarians actually smarter? in Psychology ·
misery- said:I mean, how many times does someone have to get shut down before you realize what's happening? Or when will the moderators finally catch on that it's just trolling? Honestly, kids, give me a break.🙏.

it’s just because we’re all a bunch of mindless idiots

and maybe even the moderators are part of the problem too

arna said:So, what, you have twenty toes? 😕
I'll give you this one—you're right about the head part. 🥳

Ten on my hands,
ten on my feet,
and then there's this one for my head, I suppose.

LIQ said:If I hadn't smoked, I probably would have lived to be 100.

So, how old are you actually right now?

Personally, I suspect I might have hit 90 if I hadn't taken up smoking.

LIQ said:Oh, they’re definitely there—those little spheres exist.

Those spheres shouldn't be used for scientific purposes, I suppose.

The Bible forbids it—which is why we can only count up to 21, maybe.

LIQ said:Alright, even if I concede that vegetarians might be more intelligent—what's the next step here?

Nothing. It really comes down to this: either you embrace vegetarianism and become a smart person, or you stay a mindless, corrupt, predatory glutton—in which case, everyone will look down on you and give you a hard time whenever you show up.
I mean, people might even go as far as splashing boiling water on your feet.

And kids? They'll probably throw stones at you.
Even mothers will tell their little ones—those who are still too young to actually pick up a rock—to stop looking at you, because they don't want them turning out just like you... or ending up like you if they skip class and slack off in school.

You absolute villain.

arna said:It’s because they only have one head. ☕

So, I guess I'm not the only one who's noticed just how much of a practical advantage that single head provides over women...

There really has to be something to it, I suppose.

Of course—given that you're a meat-eater, we’ll probably have to take your opinion with a grain of salt, since your IQ is sitting right at 99—but we'll still consider what you have to say (not too seriously, mind you, but still...).

Butterfly Night said:Maybe women aren't actually any less intelligent than men.

But—and this is a big but—it seems like their path from thought to speech is just... shorter.

It’s basically a scientific fact at this point!

But, I suppose it’s also scientifically proven that they're about two whole points less sharp than men.

It's kind of like how vegetarians are, say, four points smarter than meat-eaters.

At least, that’s my guess—maybe it's four.

Or maybe even more.

Now, I'm a meat-eater myself, and honestly, we aren't exactly math wizards.

We can barely count to twenty-one (if we're guys) or twenty (if we're women).
And even then, us guys only hit twenty-one if we take our shoes off to count our toes—and, well, take off our pants to count that one extra head we have that gives us the edge over women.

Maybe that’s the secret. If women take their pants off, they don't really have anything left to count.
That would explain why they seem less intelligent, while we carnivore males tend to score a bit better on those tests.

you just can't argue with the statistics😁

Oh, please, lady.

If you were a man, I suppose your IQ would be maybe two points higher.

But since you aren't—well, things are a bit silly.

And if you were a meat-eater, then you’d probably be completely dim-witted.

Maybe you could only hold a conversation at the level of "I eat"; "I sleep"; "I wash"; "I have kids"...

Why is it that women seem so much less intelligent than men?

What exactly is the cause?
Is it perhaps the diet?
Is it genetics?
Is it related to how they use—or don't use—their brains?
Or is it just because they don't really need intelligence?
What is actually going on here?

According to some researchers over in the UK, highly intelligent kids tend to lean toward vegetarianism as they get older. Their data suggests an average IQ of 106 for vegetarians and 104 for women following that diet, compared to 101 for non-vegetarians and 99 for women who eat meat.

What are your thoughts on this?

I’ve always had a bit of a hunch about this kind of connection—though, I have to admit, I didn't expect the gap to be quite this wide or statistically significant.

Haha.

I’m just trying to explain where this knack for explaining things comes from, I guess.

Looks like Stipe23 finally decided to join the conversation...
Anyway, I’m going to go get cleaned up before heading down to the local CVS to grab some stuff for a potluck.
It's all about the prep—you know, getting everything ready for the gathering.
And maybe I should pick up some laundry detergent too.

And maybe some flowers.

I’m speaking in such thick slang that nobody else is going to have a clue what my plans actually are.

I suppose naughty boys always need an explanation.

Or they might just get a timeout.

swiftseal69 said:She’s probably just the type of person who doesn't benefit from my specific kind of energy.

I think you might be looking at this the wrong way.

That person has their own energy too, I suppose.
And they end up destroying it—simply because they don't know what to do with it.
So, they just take yours instead.
And then they destroy that, too.
Once they've completely drained you, they basically mold you into someone just like them.
Then, eventually, you'll find yourself draining others.
And you'll end up clashing with them, mostly because you won't be able to provide what they're looking for anymore (which usually shows up as you snapping at them more often, or maybe just having less patience for everyone else in general, I guess).

So, there you have it. The world just gets a little bit richer by adding yet another leech.
Exactly like the first one.

swiftseal69 said:The real issue arises when I step back—her condition
tends to decline

It sounds like withdrawal symptoms. You’ve essentially built an addiction-based relationship.

swiftseal69 said:When she's with me, she seems fine, but honestly, I'm just falling apart.

So, who actually takes priority here?
Is it you, or is it her?
If it's her, then keep pouring yourself into this.
You have my blessing and my full support, whatever you decide.

I guess I'm wondering—what does it actually mean to 'help someone'?

I honestly feel that anyone who goes out of their way to constantly prove how brilliant they are—or tries to show everyone else why they're superior—doesn't actually have much to do with true intelligence. It’s almost a giveaway, I guess.
But, what can you really do about it...

You would die for America in a heartbeat—it's just how you love your country, and the whole party scene.

Likewise.

Why do atheists... in Philosophy ·
Emericzy said:Well... I suppose I know.

What you’re essentially saying is that I am, in some sense, a believer. I'm not entirely sure about that, though. If my belief lies in the distinction between good and evil, that feels more like a moral framework than anything religious. Even if I believe that distinction is a sort of natural law, I don't necessarily attribute it to something divine.

I wouldn't rule out that possibility, I guess, but I find myself leaning toward a physical explanation—maybe a kind of "moral physics." We talk about economic physics and the sociology of physics; why couldn't there be such a thing as moral physics?

Faith can't exist without dogma.

I think this idea deserves a bit more careful scrutiny.
In my view, dogma is an inherent part of religion.
But it isn't necessarily an inherent part of faith.
To me, what constitutes faith is everything that springs from within the human being—that is, things that don't have an external source. It's what a person arrives at on their own.

Furthermore, the mere fact that you are certain about something that cannot be proven makes you a believer. (Not a theist—theism is really just a subset of belief).
An agnostic would likely reject your system of moral accounting, or anything else that can't be strictly verified but must instead be believed.
So, I feel compelled to categorize you as a believer (though, again, not a theist).

Emericzy said:I wouldn't go that far. A believer, at least, has some sort of structured framework they can lean on. For me, it’s more of an intuitive hunch—this sense that good and evil are distinct categories that exist independently of our own thoughts, almost as if they were governed by some kind of natural law. It's a persistent thought; I find it difficult to even conceive of a reality where such a moral divide doesn't exist. But then again, that's just a feeling and a bit of guesswork, rather than actual faith.

your system isn't strictly defined, even if it is built up.
or are you trying to say you don't actually know right from wrong?
