More guys than girls on these forums...why?

Some men can be inventors. Point in case...Can all of us?

""No words""

Inventors in science, in math, in psychology, in human rights... in a variety of things. Inventors don't really invent... they progress.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

Are there revolutions or changes? Is a line a series of dots of a flow? I'll give you an honest answer: I couldn't prove either to you. It depends on how you view things. What we have here is the evolution/creationist debate in essence.

I believe things are flows; so yes its a progression-this, however, requires a very deep level of understanding. Yes, if we teach this, we become more equal.

Heres a good experiment; this forum says 'think revolutionary' would it have the same effect at drawing in people if it said 'think progressively'?

""No words""

Many people understand the word revolutionary to mean something more pro-active than progression. Progression seems less quick and more long term.

However, I would say progression and revolution are part of the same animal. Progression as it is generally understood is the part that leads up to an eventual revolution. Then the cycle begins again.

This is true of society and is also true of us as humans. So perhaps I named the forum "Think Revolutionary" because I feel society is now at a point where the progression is more behind us (although there is still progression ahead) but the eventuality of progression which is revolution is now coming closer.

So long term progression, like any business, person, or time-based event graph, is made up of slow rises and falls as well as spikes. Also, some rises reach an asymptotic point that much be broken through. In stocks this is called the "resistance".

The slow rises are what we can call "short term progression" and the spikes we can all "revolution" and the whole machine is called "progression". I call the whole machine progression and not revolution because revolution is quite clearly defined as a "turning point". Any "point" cannot be continuous: it is a moment in time or space that happens and is then left behind.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

Like a ball of lightning moving. True.

My goal and where I see is that those two little words 'think revolutionary' are quite brilliant of themselves and of the progression from them. The goal, for me, would be to "'empathise' 'progressively'" or to "'understand' progressively'" or to "'feel' progressively'". Is it too distant a soud to hear? lol. Make it louder

""No words""

I understand it and I think such phrases appeal to me just as much as 'think revolutionary'. In fact, I would perceive the phrase 'think revolutionary' as somewhat sensationalized if I did not know the forum I was visiting.

However, sometimes even seemingly sensationalized words can hold true meaning. And to me, the phrase 'think revolutionary' is more passionate than 'empathize progressively' because I feel we currently live in a day and age where progressive thought must be put into action. 'Revolution' is a more physical and pro-active word than 'Progression'. And I believe we must be highly pro-active in our approach nowadays.

Hi LT.

It would be irresponsible to oppose a stereotype that may very well be true even if you have things in common with the group in question that does not include the target stereotype.

Durring my time in middle school we, the honors students, had the same math teacher for all three years. We grew together in the group of 20ish students in the class and most of us stay in contact. Now as for the ratio of girls to guy in the class we were outnumberd 3 to 1. However, ignoring the lack of motivation, all the males were drastically more intellegent than the females. This group also shared many of the same classes and myself with several other of the males in our math class were the top students in the school for ALL areas.

Decius, you stated that according to the freud's way of thinking

Every emotionally healthy man will generally look for a wife that resembles the perfect mother figure, and every emotionally healthy woman will seek a husband that resembles the perfect son figure.

But if you focus and clarify the thinking part and examine the instinctual part, you will see that most men yearn to provide and alter the world so that their female counterparts (who play the part of their mother figures) are protected and safe. Hence, they are more likely to come to place like this which is geared towards educating and changing the world for the better.

"What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"

You seem to think people's conditioning does not permit them to do things and make choices that are clearly bad for them. In most cases nowadays, this is exactly what it does, and the rare things people do that are good for them are rebellions against this conditioning.

Many girls that come here come here for that exact reason. It is a sub-conscious rebellion against the fact that they have no male figure to lead them, so they must attempt to lead themselves.

And this is in tune with there being less females here than males.

In fact, once one of these females were to find an adequate male leader to follow, 99% of them would find little to no reason to come here.

Men would not be the same. Their interest in this place would not be affected by their partner status.

I just got done reading every post on this thread and in some of the sub-topic conversations regarding psychology, it seems you're all basically saying life is about working towards the climax. Individually and as a whole. It's true though, life is a big progression to climax and once we reach it, we have a great relief. Nothing in life would feel good without a long wait and that moment of fulfillment, its a build up, putting off momentary enjoyment to work towards something and get all that pent-up enjoyment at the same time. It's kinda like there's a pleasure meter and the more you use it, the less its effects are felt. But if you constantly resist it, its effects regenerate.

"I try my best to be just like I am but everybody wants you to be just like them."

I have very few female friends. There is a reason for this. I do not get along with most of them well. Why? Because the majority of them come off as shallow and unintelligent, lacking the ability to question beyond whether they are having a good hair day or not. And I am saying this as a female. But I think this has a lot to do with acceptance. Acceptance among other females, and acceptance among males. It's much easier to fit in this way. This does not mean that they ARE shallow and unintelligent. They keep themselves closeted. If you start and inellectual conversation with them, the majority of them will be able to hold their own. Many girls just dont take the initiative to start them.

And intelligence is such a vague word anyway. Girls are more intelligent on emotional levels than guys are. Guys generally are more mathematical minded and logical. Females often do very well in classes like english and creative writing and art, just as well as males do.

Woman have not played a major role in inventing because society has not allowed it. Up until the 70's the majority of woman were "house wives". This has almost completely disappeared. More and more woman are thinking on abstract levels than ever. More and more woman are playing major roles in our society and government than ever before. Men still do not see us as equals, on levels of intelligence (obviously, just look back and read some of these posts) - but we are definately on the road to taking our opportunities to prove ourselves. This might be easier if people - men in particular but some woman too - werent so biased.

Women are less involved in the Internet in general. It is we males who have the most opinions.

"Jim Colyer wrote Save The Planet."

Are you more opinionated or are you more vocal about your opinions than womam? Thats ridiculous.

Its all relative.
