Here is what I see.

Mothers protect their children. Your father protects his last needle-shot of heroin. You protect your rights of being a filthy and disgusting creature with, as you imply, a brilliant mind.

Nigga talking about grass being more stable and prone than a Rose. A fucking Rose! Fuck outtttta hereeeeeeee.

Fortunately, you can have it all, as science informs us that beautiful people are generally not just better-looking than uglies, but smarter, too:

I say this as an ugly person.

I wouldn't look at that study with any seriousness. Kanazawa is an evo psychologist, and that subject isn't really that rigorous imo. Kanazawa even said that black women are ugly. The guy just loves controversy. he is the ann coulter of science.

And don't forget about how your taste is affected by politics, society, biology, etc. What you like and hate is a huge web of clusterfaak which makes his claims wishy washy imo.

The guy may be a wacko in general, but I think he is right about this.

Why? It's obviously nonsense.

Why?

There are plenty of cases where a connection exists between physical and mental features, but no obvious "linking" factor has been found to explain it. For example, height and IQ are correlated. Joint hypermobility is strongly correlated with anxiety / panic disorders.

It's not implausible to me that such a correlation could exist between intelligence and whatever physical features define conventional "beauty" standards. But it's also possible there is no connection.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Aug-09-2011 10:55:

Both "beauty" and "intelligence" are problematic concepts in of themselves. I'm sure I don't need to open the discussion on IQ scores as a comprehensive measure of intelligence, and it is far from proven that IQ is inherited genetically anyway. As for beauty, I am consistently surprised by just how much it is in the eye of the beholder, and that's leaving aside that "conventional" beauty varies massively depending on the culture and the period in history.

The way this researcher seems to completely ignore these issues and neglects to qualify his findings in any real way supports the suspicion that he's a bit of a quack. And since the link gives no explanation about the samples or experimental methods used, there's no reason to suspect this study is any more rigorous or scientific than his usual nonsense. Oh, and this conclusion fits in neatly with his larger agenda. Sounds very objective.

Finally, I just don't see any reason why intelligence and beauty should be linked. What's the hypothesis here? Some tenuous idea of overall genetic superiority? This statement just baffles me:

quote:
"Given that both intelligence and physical attractiveness are highly heritable," lead researcher Satoshi Kanazawa says, "there should be a positive correlation between intelligence and physical attractiveness in the children's generation.

in todays world of cosmetic surgery, you can tweak just about anything.... you could walk into a strip club with a doctor and say "i want those tits on this woman"

but you can't fix stupid......
