I tell you this is one hot girl. Not to be a snob or anything, but the supply of vastly intelligent people on this planet is highly limited, and even more so on the female side. My friend Jason was talking about this just yesterday. So before I go off on Alanis, let me explain why there are more male "geniuses" then female. Yes, it is genetic.
The why of it all is this: males, being the surplus DNA that we are, are not as valuable as women, from a historical evolution reproductive standpoint. The female reproductive system is more complex, more sensitive, from a design and structure standpoint. Change one variable, and your female does not reproduce. Bad, and clearly not a self-selecting attribute. Men, on the other hand, don't matter. Men have more genetic variation, more "mutations" to use a word now that now longer actually is correct. Before you get your bra in a tussle, there are significantly more male geniuses for the same reason there are significantly more male morons. We get both sides of the bell curve.
Alanis M. - interview subject, I'm just the observer - but a tight little mind, able to process (her word) her copious observations, which she says she loves to make. Who even likes to observe people these days? For the first 15 minutes she was a joy to listen to. all I could think was, that's the kind of mind I want sleeping next to me!
You can see it all on TV, but it won't be as good as live! I was thinking, I don't own a TV, but I love it so much, that I'm willing to work in TV just to see it first, live!

I am very apprehensive about responding to this post because it is so ridiculous, it almost seems like bait. (the male genius comment in conjunction with the adoration/admiration of alanis....recipe for antagonism)
:>
Well, clearly the key is that while males are more likely to be geniuses, so too are they more likely to be the morons.
Does Alanis not become a girl when she is a genius? I don't think so. Does she have a little extra male spacial awareness wiring in her brain, or is that wiring from playing the piano, etc, as a kid?
so then men are more likely to be geniuses or morons but its jsut in teh genetic cards for women to be intellectually mediocre? and your sellign point is, well at least theyre not as likely to be complete idiots?
And I think Alanis is a jack-ass and i am disappointed that you find her so appealing.
the data on women's "mediocrity" - which some would call solidity, is well documented. Having a few extra IQ points is vastly overrated. I can testify to that from personal experience.
I shant say what your spelling lends to the argument, and I suspect many women don't like Alanis, she is the competition.
I KNEW you were going to make some comment about my spelling (its my typing acutally).
Ah, fred, youve become predictable in your old age.
Fred, I can't begin to count the typos in the stuff you post ("I shant say what your spelling lends to the argument," for instance.
