↑testosterone ∝ ↑sexual interest ∝ ↑sex typical faces?
But don't more feminine women tend to have lower testosterone levels overall? The Power-Bitch types would have higher testosterone and want the Manly men who in turn want the feminine women, who find themselves strangely attracted to the more feminine men, who in turn find themselves strangely desiring to be dominated by the power-bitches who want nothing to do with them... ah the crooked timber of humanity.
Colder climates favor civilization even among Whites alone
Is there anything out there about brain-generated heat and a possible climate related limiting effect?
Is there some point where the brain limits itself if it reaches a higher temperature? Would a culture that values innovation find ways around this?

A sympathy for statistics
I don't know why you want to chew my head off, Razib, as I only stated my opinion once, not over and over again. Also, if you read what I said carefully, you will see that I said that religious antipathy was over hyped, not that it doesn't exist. That survey you linked to was very surprising. Who would have guessed that there was so little difference in the unfavorable opinion of Mormons as compared to Muslums? It's also interesting to see how atitudes shift with time. When Mitt's dad was governor of Michigan, his religion was hardly ever mentioned. Mormonism doesn't seem to have hurt the political careers of Orrin Hatch or Harry Reid.
You can always find an exception to a rule, bio.
Being smart doesn't mean you will always be right, but rather that you will be right more often. Hoover would have been right even less often had he been less intelligent.

People might care, if you are a Muslim, but in general religious antipathy is a over hyped media creation. Mitt is simply the smartest most accomplished candidate running.

The Progression of IQ – a response to David Brooks
"brooks is triangulating furiously to get IQ research mentioned in the new york times."
If this is true, blah, then keep the guy away from me. This is intellectually dishonest, and we don't need such folks muddying up the waters.

New Steven Pinker interview
I have just the interviewer: Brian Lamb. Smart, concise, pointed.
Poll time!
I wonder how many people even know their IQ. I don't know mine. I might guess, but like many people, it might be an over estimate. Knowing your own IQ can have such a powerful psychological impact, since our society values it so greatly. I feel confident in understanding a lot about how the world works, but it did not come easy, I am not a genius, and that understanding only came as the result of a lot of introspection, study, listening to smart people, and hard work.
Gay sheep revisited
If there exists the fear that revealing homosexuality to have a genetic cause why does there not exist the fear in knowing that skin color is genetic? If it is socially more advantageous to be white, could we not eliminate black as well as homosexuality?
Beyond Belief 2006 – a highlight
I wonder at the extent to which we delude ourselfs. How many of us think we are more attractive than average?
This, I didn’t believe….
oppp...sorry...typo...we already know the truth...
We already no the truth, if we are brave enough to face it.
There is no point to it all.
There is no purpose.
Tis a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing.
To maintain your mental health, don't think about it.
Pretend it all really does matter.
Smile. Be happy.
