    In all honesty /cgl/, I'm genuinely interested here. From what I've heard cosplayers dont have a good reputation, not only because they're assumed to be fat, but because they're sluts too.

    Why is there this reputation? That cosplayers sleep around at cons and stuff?

    I'm not making shit up, this is the reputation Cosplayers have. They're either slutty or fatties or both.

    The girls in the OPs pic are exceptions to the rule, not the general trend. That being said, the reputation that they're all fat is a bit unfair.

    As for being sluts, I honestly don't know why. It depends what kinds of cosplayers you are talking about. The people who take it very seriously tend to be the most slutty (and catty too).

    Wow... You honestly believe that the moral zeitgeist will ever change? People consider excess a bad thing, people consider a lack of self-control a bad thing. There will always be sexual taboos because lust is debilitating to reason and logic.

    You aren't a social revolutionary.

    You aren't paving the way for anything.

    I think you misunderstand me. I don't have a problem if you want to 'fuck a lot', it's irrelevant to me. I have a problem with you pretending there is some fantasy land, past or present, where women who slept with a lot of men weren't branded as lacking self-control. This argument pops up a lot. If you are a 'slut' by objective societal definition in 21st century western world you'd be a slut in Edo Japan, Han China, The Indus Valley Civilization, Ancient Rome and so on.

    The reason for sexual taboos is not religious, that's just the facade they are dressed up in. The primary reason for sexual taboos is 1) Lust debilitates reason and 2) Biologically women who sleep around weren't viewed as good mates because until recently paternity couldn't be proven, so it's inbuilt to consider sluts low and worthless.

    No matter how many 'sexual revolutions' you have you can't really defeat these two points.

    And I object to the statement that people wouldn't be such 'dicks' if they had more sex. Take Nero and Caligula, they had plenty, compare them to the ardent Stoic, Marcus Aurelius, who was more of a 'dick'?

    It all comes down to how humans consider self-control a virtue at the end of the day.

    It's ironic as well because it's effectively stating the only way for women to be powerful is to be whores.

    It's only proving what Seneca said, that women are by nature more prone to lack of self-control, to moral weakness, and to the passions in general: they are more easily broken by excessive grief; they get carried away by anger; they are too soft in comparison; they are incontinent in luxury and debauchery, and manipulative in trying to realize misguided ambitions.

    The problem with Equality argument between Genders is due to the fact that rather then equality, in most cases you find competition.
    Example; By radical feminist ideals, a woman who does not work and makes a personal income but is a Housewife and Mother instead is a slave to the household and not treated equally. This suggests that women must be out in the workforce to be equal to men and by proxy suggests a concept of equality through competition. However competition is not equality and only works to create tension.

    True equality is found through the ability to agree and be treated equally without any kind of condition reinforcing it.

    Middle age, huh?

    It depends. There's much to be said for middle age--you have the wisdom of experience that youths lack while escaping from the decrepitude of old age.

    In any case, though, however true that may be, it has nothing to do with the value of women. Again, Newton and Tesla enjoyed the fruits of middle age without a woman by their side, and history is replete with examples of accomplished bachelors who accomplished much over the course of their lives without any particular female assistance.

    I am not saying at all that men need women, my point is women are just as capable as men, we simply need a little time to make some headway: a) because men are resistant to our arrival b) we ourselves don't have as rich of a history of education, and scholarly work. Women will only get better with time in the work place, there is no down from here for us.

    lol.

    "Men have larger brains—and higher IQs—than women, according to a controversial new study.

    In a paper for the British Journal of Psychology, which is bound to reignite the academic row about gender differences, one of Britain’s most controversial academics argues that men are more likely than women to win Nobel prizes and gain academic distinction because they are more intelligent.

    Dr Irwing told The Times Higher Education Supplement that he would prefer it if their research was wrong. However, after resolving to put “scientific truth” above his personal views, he said he had concluded that there was a very strong case that men not only had larger brains, but had a higher IQ, by about five points, compared with women."

    Hey, if my parents can do it, so can I. I don't need logic to try to reason something out like my feelings.

    I don't go into relationships blindly either, but I know that when I'm in one, I'll commit to it 100%. That's my duty as a man.

    And trust me, let them be indulgent. Just because they are, doesn't mean I'll please them 24/7. Its called foreplay. You have to orchestrate desire.

    Desire comes from lacking something you want. Building that desire first and then delivering when she's aching and begging for it, while being reasonable..that's how you do it.

    I'll say this. Seneca never taught me how to keep a woman interested, nor is talking about it going to make that happen.

    Confidence will. Confidence, a willingness to compromise when shit gets tough, and work ethic. Wanting to make the relationship work while having the foresight to see if its worth it to keep it going are all important things.

    I shouldn't bag on Seneca though. Ain't no seneca ever call'd me a nigger

    That aren't equal opportunities and if you believe so you are retarded, sheltered, and need to kindly stfu. And that also means you didn't read my post. As for your experimental study not only is the IQ differential small, but IQ is just arbitrary enough for the disparity to be almost nonexistant. You should look up the studies on how vague an intelligence quotient actually is, and then think about the fact that the study itself is still in the infantile stages of scientific study, before posting it as serious trufax.

    Seneca was a Roman philosopher of the first century AD, he's usually brought up as the example of what is the best way to behave when in the moral quandry of having to serve a bad boss/leader, in this case that 'leader' was the Emperor Nero. An example for the ages of self-indulgence gone to extremes. Seneca served Nero well (during the first four years of his reign he was generally considered to be a good Emperor), until he lost favour and retired to the country. He was eventually implicated in a plot against Nero and forced to commit suicide together with his wife. He was one of the most foremost stoic philosophers.

    >Seneca, quite unmoved, asked for tablets on which to inscribe his will, and, on the centurion's refusal, turned to his friends, protesting that as he was forbidden to requite them, he bequeathed to them the only, but still the noblest possession yet remaining to him, the pattern of his life, which, if they remembered, they would win a name for moral worth and steadfast friendship. At the same time he called them back from their tears to manly resolution, now with friendly talk, and now with the sterner language of rebuke. "Where," he asked again and again, "are your maxims of philosophy, or the preparation of so many years' study against evils to come? Who knew not Nero's cruelty? After a mother's and a brother's murder, nothing remains but to add the destruction of a guardian and a tutor."

    Now that's a real man.

    >I'm not speaking about being ABLE to learn it, but having the moral capacity to make the right decision.

    Well by most indicators (amount of sexual partners, divorce rate, likelihood to be incarcerated, to commit a serious felony and so on) of morality people with higher IQs are more moral, they are also less likely to be religious, so their morality comes from their intelligence, not some misguided belief in a deity.

    No, smart PEOPLE find it harder to get married.

    The IQ grouping with the highest amount of sexual partners is 85-95. That's because they are the average - the playing field is MEANT for them. Whereas a woman with an IQ of 140 has less chance of finding a guy with parity in intelligence to her. And vice versa.

    Try this. What does intelligence mean? What is it? I mean we all know what it is, but you cannot have a solid definition, it ends up being either too murky or too biased. Therefore an intelligence quotient can never be as good as its title claims. For example someone who has terrible math skills would do quite poorly on an IQ test, but this does not at all mean they are idiot, just they are not good at math.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/

    Now, continue on please.


    Btw, IQ is only an attempt at measurement of processing power. Think of it as the clock cycles on your computer. Your computer may be limited to a certain clock cycle (say my 1.8ghz centrino) but it certainly does not express the full capabilities of that computer, which seems what's going on here.

    All IQ is a be all end all marker for people to focus their attention to. Its kinda like the Body Mass Index, something you /cgl/ anons know about.

    Man does not live on intelligence alone. Its called experience. Even a dumbass will learn after repeated actions.

    That being said, I've never heard that reputation before. But maybe, I don't give a fuck enough to remember it. I do have awfully bad memory.

    >Experience is just anecdotal rote memorization, and memory correlates with IQ.

    Anecdotal rote memorization implies a simple copy of the experience into one's brain. If we were all about anecdotes and rote memorization, you would only amount to something with the brain function of a fish.

    And even they process information that in turns affects the process of information at a later instance, effectively nullifying your concept of memory that amounts to IQ.

    If I didn't state myself clearly enough before, its because I didn't want to write a paper here and I'm sure we're talking about peoples vaginas and their sex lives, instead of debating the nominal use of IQ in the real world.

    Because you know what? IQ is just a momentary measurement of the protraction of our brain matter in a controlled standardized state. Yes, it has implication in real world actions but that's all it is. An Implication, nothing more.

    You don't find standards in the real world, chum.

    That being said, My IQ is 138, which is approximately 2.5 standard deviations from the norm. That means I'm smarter I am atleast 98% smarter than the world's population.

    But to me, that means nothing because intelligence is only a compliment to wisdom and experience.

    No, no. no.

    Don't try and set up strawmen here. You stated:

    >Its called experience. Even a dumbass will learn after repeated actions.

    That's learning not to do something as a result of memorization. For example, touching the electric fence once is enough to convince an idiot not to touch it again.

    >effectively nullifying your concept of memory that amounts to IQ.

    What? I stated the two correlate, not that it 'amounts' to memory, I know it's fashionable amongst internet biologists to pretend IQ is 'worthless' because of the nasty truths it tends to spring out. But really now, you're just twisting my words.

    >Yes, it has implication in real world actions but that's all it is. An Implication, nothing more.

    You're acting like this 'implication' doesn't have wide ranging effects. Refer to >>1324524.

    If it meant nothing then you wouldn't cite it.

    I dont follow your logic. All i simply stated that even dumbasses and fish, and us smart pplzzzz will be affected by the experience, that experience in turn will affect how we processes other experiences.

    I view IQ as an attempt to measure the amount of intelligence at a relatively singular point in time. As I said, it has implications in the real world, i admitted that, but i only raise my argument because it seems you value IQ as your sole factor in determining the capable worth of people. If that's not the case, then allow me to retract my statement.

    For perhaps we're arguing, yet we're not even in the same bowl of kool-aid.

    Are you referring to IQ's fluxing here? Because they don't, they remain pretty much the same throughout someone's life, there is a drop throughout adolesence, but that's observed universally.

    >that experience in turn will affect how we processes other experiences

    So learning from experience then?

    Well let's take prison population as a sample, they have a below average IQ, the criminals with the lowest IQs are those who fall into the category of violent crime. Violent criminals are also the most likely to reoffend...

    Do you see where I'm going with this?

    and to be fair to you, since you've so analyzed me thoroughly.

    No, i'm not talking about IQ's flux. I'm talking about the other parts of the brain that aren't measured by IQ.

    Youre trying to use IQ as a predicting factor in human behavior.

    I'm arguing that IQ is only a measure of processing power, nothing more. The fact that prisoners have lower IQ's have violent minds that are likely to reoffend. Smart people are capable of violent minds. Those sorts just don't get caught until they've killed 40 people.

    Its a horrible example because its not because they want to learn from the experience and become "better". I'm just telling you that in real life, psychological factors, physiological factors, personality traits, early childhood development environment, and a whole slew of laundry list items all add up to amount a human's capability.

    You remind me of a particular Nazi Doctor, but his name escapes me at this moment.

    Naturally, as it's proven to be heriditable in nature. See for example the studies done on twins brought up in different environments.

    >Smart people are capable of violent minds. Those sorts just don't get caught until they've killed 40 people.

    Do you have any proof that this is because they don't get caught or is it conjecture?

    >I'm just telling you that in real life, psychological factors, physiological factors, personality traits, early childhood development environment, and a whole slew of laundry list items all add up to amount a human's capability.

    Actually the environmental factor has always been stressed by commentators, but the genetic factor is more important. Consider that the APA state intelligence is 60% heriditable in nature for example. That's the fucking APA, not a fringe group. And biologists agree with them.

If you separate the twins into different environments, say one in a middle upper class family, and the other in a third world agricultural country, their inteligence may be lying in wait to be tapped into...but how could you ever be sure of that by using the IQ test on them?

    Why shouldn't I stress it? Non-scientific commentators stress environment all the time on TV, biology needs to stressed more.

    Anecdotal evidence again....

    >3) 60% is hardly the amount you've stressed

    Even the APA acknowledges this is a 'conservative estimate', still it is an acknoledgment that hereditary factors play the primary role.

    >5) Stanford Prison Experiment. Actions and the capabilities of people are not so much measured by IQ.

    Link to this?

    >6) You were talking abot that Bouchard experiment with the twins right? if you've ever taken statistics, that .75 correlation doesn't mean as much as you think it is.

    There hasn't been just one study on twins you know. The most recent was 2006, Bouchard's was 1990. And that's not the only evidence, we have the transracial adoption studies and the fact that the tests the libs did throughout the nineties to tie IQ with economic background instead of race ended up proving the opposite. And a twin in a third world country would have their potential proven by IQ testing.

    You just want to believe everybody is inherently equal, and that flies in the face of biology, so you deny biology and clutch at straws instead. Let's be honest here, your problem with IQ isn't the science behind it, it's what it shows, that it doesn't tie into your egalitarian beliefs.

    if IQ showed everyone was inherently equal you'd be all over it.
