new atheists are often “skeptics” when it comes to religion, and maybe some easily disproved chain letters, infomercials, and ancient aliens

Psych-Quotes: The Nine Types of Intelligence

Fri, 24 May 2013 18:55:08 -0400

Psych-Quotes: The Nine Types of Intelligence:

psych-facts:

1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)

Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations).  This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef.  It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.

2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)

Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone.  This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes.  Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves.  They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.

3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)

Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations.  It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns.  Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives.  Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships.  They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

what if we are reincarnated when we die and when we’re babies we still remember who we used to be and that’s why we cry so much as babies, because of how our old lives are gone ..and the older we get we start to forget who we used to be in a previous life.

well fuck

#And the calm and quiet babies who don’t cry are people who had really bad lives and are just grateful for a second chance

To the men who have told me that I’m overreacting and “it’s the 21st century women are equal now”

Ditto.

Note that the “women make only 77.5 cents for every dollar that men earn” statistic applies only to white women. Women of color make significantly less.

Black women make about $0.68 to a man’s dollar.

Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.

“Not giving a fuck isn’t about not giving a fuck. It’s about fully embracing your natural capability to effortlessly weather any amount of suffering, loss, or change. In essence, it’s about pleasantly floating while the whole world franticly swims. And, if you’re good, it’s about teaching others to float with you. After all, life is better with company.”

So here is the rough draft for my “Anime and Feminism 101” panel that might be happening at San Japan.

A few notes:

This is obviously not a transcript, but just the ppt slides. I’ve timed myself going through them with the commentary I want to add, and it takes about 30 minutes to go through it.

It is subject to change between now and San Japan.

If you have any suggestions/corrections, PLEASE add them!

Edit: Reorganized the slides to take up less space on dash.

If I do an anime panel in the future, may I borrow from this? Because it is fantastic.

As long as you credit my blog. :) I could even send you the actual ppt file if you like.

But why is Revolutionary Girl Utena listed as one of the “excellent” series? Like Anthy is not treated with respect throughout the show at all. She’s constantly being threatened, brutalized, sexually abused, dehumanized, sexualized, and treated like an object. Every time the sword of dios is summoned from her you get a quick panty shot as well. People literally “own” her and pass her around like property and as a result she has little to no agency in the show.
