Στο εν λόγω βίντεο (he IQ Problem | Jordan Peterson & Stefan Molyneux / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8F7tjmy_U) βρήκα ενδιαφέρον το εξής σχόλιο:"Funny to hear that 40% of Google workforce being East Asians is due to our biological advantage. If it were true that we indeed have some sort of God given innate ability, then Google would have been found by an East Asian and not by an Ashkenazi Jew Sergey Brin (who's supposedly not good at spatial reasoning because he's an Ashkenazi Jew as Stefan suggested?)Actually, as an East Asian (Chinese), I can offer a few explanations to our STEM field overrepresentation phenomenon. First of all, a language like Chinese makes it very easy to count numbers because every character is one sound, so at an early age we could already do math much faster. Secondly, most of us learned math from practice upon practice - meaning by solving stacks upon stacks of math workbooks before school, after school, and during weekends, winter break, summer break, etc, which are given by our parents (or cram schools), so our teachers tend to teach a lot more materials at a faster rate. For example, I already learned algebra and geometry in elementary school in China and had to "retake" those classes when I came to the US because schools here only start teaching these topics in high school. Thirdly, we don't have a condescending attitude toward people who are good at math and science, who are often labeled as "geeks" and "nerds" in the US. Actually, in Chinese culture, there's no question whether or not one can do math. In fact, I don't think I was ever given the option to think that I could potentially be not good math! Go to a Chinese restaurant and watch - even the uneducated waiters can calculate your bills in seconds in their heads. Forth, most East-Asians are probably from non-English speaking families, so it's only natural for us to pick a field that doesn't involve much use of the English language. Fifth, our parents really would highly prefer if we are either lawyers, doctors, or engineers. Last but not least, most of us are immigrants or whose parents are the immigrants, so we want to pick a job that makes lots of $$$ - and hence the STEM field. Of course nobody is arguing that IQ is not determined by our biology, but one can question if IQ is influenced by other factors in addition to our biology - for example, our culture. What good would it do to our civilization if we all subscribe to the belief system that our IQ is completely determined by our biology?" ______...είδα και τα κάτωθι και στα links παρατίθενται με το κείμενό τους:Jordan Peterson - The case Against Gay Marriagehttp://www.yousubtitles.com/Jordan-Peterson-The-case-Against-Gay-Marriage-id-1468934Jordan Peterson - Abortion, Birth Control and Marriagehttp://www.yousubtitles.com/Jordan-Peterson-Abortion-Birth-Control-and-Marriage-id-1619783και το ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΟ σχόλιο που αναφορικά έχω να κάνω είναι το εξής (τρυκιμία εν κρανίω):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFcXqmvLzaQ(όχι, ψέματα, νομίζω ότι σαν ειρμό σκέψης και σύνταξης ομοιάζει με τον Παπανδρέου Jr.)
