zombie blood what is it like to be a zombie? Is it any better than being a human?

:O

zombies can't speak they can only say brains brains brains

😆

cavalrycome Yes. Each has functions that work with the others

Oranges are far superior ;)

'Different but equal' is a popular clarion call nowadays, since pushing the superiority agenda has fallen out of favor. It may be true, however, the interesting thing is how so many people advance it as a non-problematic thing to say i.e. as if it has no consequences and hence shouldn't be controversial. It very much has consequences. You can, for instance, quite readily claim that the female deficit in engineering is a direct consequence of 'different but equal', even without claiming that engineers are superior. But is it? Or is it due to cultural or sociological factors? From the other side, women could claim that the male deficit in nursing (one of the few jobs expected to grow massively in our automated future) is due to men simply being not suited to it. Both claims being 'on average', of course, so as to inure them anecdotal counterclaims. Whether you think 'different but equal' is true or not, and I'm not arguing one way or the other on that, it's important that we accept that it ISN'T some innocuous claim that has no consequences.

@Mendicant Bias I'm not entirely sure, but you seem to be using the phrase 'different but equal' with the meaning of treating people equally even if there is an average difference between the sexes in some ability, which I agree is controversial (the differences-in-abilities part, not the treating-people-equally part). Although, even if there are detectable differences in _average_ ability in the kind of skills required to solve engineering problems, that wouldn't justify excluding anyone from pursuing a career in that field. What I'm actually talking about is something else though. My experience is that most people automatically interpret differences between the sexes as ordinal differences that involve men (on average) being better or worse on some scale than women. Proficiency in the kind of skills required to solve engineering problems would actually be an example of that rather than what I'm talking about, whereas differences in preferences between the sexes that lead them to pursue different kinds of jobs or activities would not be an ordinal difference. Men and women could have exactly the same level of competence in the various skills required to be a good engineer while having different views about whether that would be a fulfilling career. It seems to be true that men are on average more interested in pursuing jobs that are viewed as high-status and women are on average more drawn to jobs that are more social. Personally, the more social option seems like a more fulfilling life because the pursuit of high status often involves working long hours, sacrificing time with friends and family, and dying alone on an expensive sofa, but if men are disproportionately pursuing the high status option, they will always have more power over women (on average), which isn't good either. Excepting this problem, I think the goal we should be striving for is a society where everyone is allowed to pursue, and is encouraged to pursue, whatever they want to do, and that goal could in principle be satisfied without the sexes being equally represented in every field of work (depending on whether there are real differences between the sexes in preferences on average).

cavalrycome, that is probably the most eloquently I have ever seen this opinion expressed and I wish I more people see this the way you do and I wholeheartedly agree with every single point.

Octopus have a large brain to body ratio. They're very clever for sea creatures, but I would hardly put them on the same scale as great apes and humans.

They have lower body to brain ration. Also when you consider inteligence you need to understand that you are looking at it from your human perspective. Octopus intelligence for example could be something different your human brain cannot comprehend.

I see what you're saying, but I'm going to stick with the human scale for intelligence since the animal kingdom hasn't come up with a scale yet. lol.

i think it's a mix of how large and how dense it is, i completely agree

This is an old comment and I'm no expert but see the thing is, it's like with computers; the more you have to process, the more processing power you need. So if male brains are, on average, slightly bigger than female brains... and male bodies are, on average, slightly bigger than female bodies, that makes sense. Whales don't have bigger brains because they are smarter than us, they have bigger brains because they have much bigger bodies and you need something to manage all of that chonk, there's so much going on inside your body that the brain has to manage. I can't say whether or not there are significant differences in male and female human brains, but based on the information in this video it would totally make sense if our brains functioned more or less the same despite being different sizes, since they are both more or less adjusted to be the same relative to our own body size.

@gypsy lab and gender

Ok

Tell that to feminists on tumblr

It's also controversial as the differences are inconsistent as he said in the video

@gypsy lab exactly, its made up by society, so there really is no gender

Conclusion: there isn't enough data to definitively say how sex, and possibly gender, affect the brain. *other then average overall size.

Duh?

What data has been gathered on traits shows a significant overlap between sexes, so though females and males averages may have differences in certain traits, the differences found within groups so far are so large that even if the difference reaches statistical difference, those traits in a *random individual* can't be comfortably predicted just based on sex.

Conclusion: men & women brains differ slightly.

"every brain is unique"? Err...did you watch the same video? He specifically mentioned throughout the whole vid that there are differences between the sexes on average. We just aren't sure what causes them or what to make of them yet.

After I started hormones I feel differently but don't think differently. I still have the same likes and dislikes. What has changed is how I act in any given situation because how I feel about the situation. I'm sure my brain will be different in 5 years then it would be if I didn't start hormones.

Kristi Marie thank you for your insight, this is what i assumend, i guess you agree that the hormones won't change your sexual preference right? So what do you think where this oreference is if not in the hormones or (as the video claimed) the brain?

I don't think hormones will change your sexual preference. It might make you more comfortable accepting who you like. So, from the outside it could look like your sexual preferences changed but I don't feel like there are any fundamental changes to who you are attracted. There may be differences in the brain between males and females but I think it's more complicated then that. I feel like society plays a huge roles. I'm treated much more delicate now, men take time to help me with things that never would of happened when I was still a dude. It makes me wonder if I would be as independent as I am now, since I never would of needed to be in the 1st place. I really wonder about newborns brains, are they the same at birth and devlop differently as they get older due to society or is it because of what is predetermined by ones sex? Sorry kinda ranblmed at the end.

What is this? A reasonable comment on a video about sex differences? And a _polite discussion following it?!_

*dramatically inserts half baked angry comment*

I know. Like, saying "We don't know yet" isn't exactly a crazy stance to take when it comes to neuroscience as we understand it so far. Very young field of study.

AlfredAskew And he doesn't want people to misunderstand about what we do know.

Anton-Constantin the people who wrote his script were trying to be politically correct

I was expecting Hank to talk ''something'' even a little reference about the stria terminalis in the hypothalamus but.... OK.....

I feel like he was bouncing around his own questions because the answer doesn't fit the current social climate, else he would've said "Are male and female brains different: Yes, yes they are and we've known that for decades." But that's not something you can say these days even though it's true. Today the truth isn't as important as people's opinions and safe space and that's regrettable.

Andy Brice great analogy, thanks

I don't think that you can say "the average man is smarter than the average woman " or did you mean it in a different way?

"But around the averages the individual variation outweighs the group trends" - this is a common remark, but it doesn't really mean anything much, beyond reminding us that averaging things clips off the extreme values. But human height is not really a good analogy, if the object is to demonstrate that human sexual dimorphism isn't a thing. Adult women span the range 4' 8" to 6'. There are virtually no women outside that range. Adult men span the range 5' to 6'6". There are virtually no men outside that range. Moreover the average male height is about two standard deviations above the female. Which means that only about 2% of women are taller than the average man. And only about 2% of men are shorter than the average woman. None of this proves anything about the brain of course, but height is not a good trait to show the lack of sexual dimorphism in humans. Using it shows that the standard of "no overlap at all" between the two populations is not a sensible standard. It excludes things - like height - which are plainly dimorphic.

@@leemoore5212 What is suprising is that they are more men under 4'10 than women.Which means they are more male dwarves

i dont get the individual variation outweighs the group trends around the averages. Wouldn't saying around the averages mean that people would be more generic and similar to each other as thats the average, and the average is the grouping of people with the most similar traits and characteristics. Or am i misinterpreting this?

And of course, it's important to remember that these are all just generalizations. Individual results may vary.

Yep, you are correct. Biological/structural difference is small but, significant. Still it's not a basis for discrimination. Because person isn't just a bunch of statistics glued together to make average man/woman/snowflake...

Have you studied how much of ‘poorer male risk assessment ‘ is built into the society, ie men should be brave and straightforward and how much is inherent to male biology ? I have found a lot of things everybody knows have changed in my lifetime.

Francesco Nicoletti Unless you have a person born in complete isolation of society and culture than there’s not a true way to tell if the differences are caused by nurture rather than nature and that’s what this video saying.

Aneko Foxx I agree. I was reacting to the ‘I know ‘ what sex diffreces are, of the original poster. A totally obvious normal sex diffrence today, will become obsolete tomorrow with a change in society. The most easily provable change is math scores. As soon as girls were not discouraged from taking math their scores converge d with boys. Before then it was continually argued that women were genetically incapable of math. In this thread someone is arguing that no woman has won a certain computer game therefore genes, without doing one iota of investigation into that games subcultures.. In short you don’t know what you don’t know and stop assuming sex differences

It 100% does. Plus, women think that them getting anxiety once a month is them having a horrible disorder.

And in women's lives, there is a lots of subconcious worry about sexual/physical safety which men generally do not need to feel. And level of it depends of the enviroment and influences that you are born in. That could explain how women are more prone to anxiety. (And I am sure that this is not full reason (it is just a theory) and I am sure that many people will be eager to deny that this has anything to do with it, but sometimes the reason could be the most simple one. It is not THAT long ago that women were property of a man and could been sold by their husband in England. Not legally. But that did not stop it happening.)

@@haroldlemar5569 just because men are socialized to not show weakness and therefore don't admit to any problems they may be having doesn't mean a women's problem is lesser or a joke, both can be equally true, it's not a competition. What's up with the 'feeling anxiety once a month thing' dude? Also women do actually live in a world where they are more at risk for danger and (mostly physical) harm

mmm whatcha say That’s the point I’m trying to make, they are equal. The obvious problem is that men’s mental state isn’t taking seriously. I’m not saying all women do this, but I’m talking about the ones that only do it for attention and overreact

Men in my family didn't get depressed, they got drunk.

Men and Women's brains are different, it has been shown by scientists. Our differences do not stop at the neck. In gender equalitarian countries the gap between genders in jobs, crimes, , personality, e.t.c has been shown to be higher than in non equalitarian

Wish I could do that, but some people force their gender onto you. Idc what your gender is, if you're nice I'll be nice and try to respect your pronouns, but if you're mean why should I try to be nice and use words outside of my normal vocabulary. I know I SHOULD be nice but so SHOULD they, right? Why is the burden on me to accommodate them if they cant accommodate me? And I dont mean accommodate them by recognizing their gender identity as part of who they are, I mean accomodate their wishes for me to respect them.

@@zalvian22 __________________Using their choice of pronouns is not a showing of respect. It's a showing of compliance.

Bro true. Like my sexuality is based on many many things and not necessarily gender. I think we all have cultural compulsions to create gendered dichotomies in the way we think and perceive things

@Praise The Masculine Flames That would probably come from both society and the fact that people tend to see their group as more diverse and generalize the other. So, you, being a man, most likely interacts more with other men, and thus knows their nuances better than you know women's.

Simple. End of discussion.

Males in general tend to be better at tasks that involve mathematical abilities and spatial awareness,it's just a statistic,that's the main reason why men are generally more represented in jobs that require physical activity such as construction work for example.

@@Seageass01 , no , they aren't. They just happen to already have those jobs while women have been taught to go for jobs with the roles of care takers like nurses, teachers, social workers, etc. Not because they are statistically better at jobs with emotional labor for being women but because what society told them made them chose those careers that then show up in statistics as "preferred" by women and then people create the correlation that they must be at those jobs more because they are better at it than men... Which is not true. The same applies to men and math and spatial awareness.

@@Norimarisu : If there are mostly men working in technical fields I assure you there must be an underlying reason which is linked to anatomy and brain wiring,your statement does not have a point.

@@Norimarisu : I'm not saying that women lack technical competence but,looking at the big picture,it's undeniable that technology has always been,for the most part,a male domain,of course there are women engineers but they are a minority compared to the amount of men who are involved in this sector,try to visit a building site and see how many women are present.

@@Seageass01 , there reason is society, not biology. They thought the same things about most jobs before men were sent to war and women had to take their place in the workforce. They thought the same things about black people and jobs that weren't manual jobs For centuries women could not have jobs, houses under their name, loans, etc. so when they could finally have jobs they were only allowed the less threatening ones that would not deviate from their roles as care takers. They could not be doctors, they had to be nurses. They could not be lawyers , they had to be secretaries. Schools would not even admit them so how could they? Now we can all apply to the university of our choosing but it wasn't always like that. And it doesn't help that until recently boys grew up with the cool toys about building castles and doing slime while girls grew up taking care of dolls. The things that are taught to you growing up have a long lasting effect. Also, up until the 60s the tech field was full of women before men took over like they did with comic books and video games for like 40 years.

And beyond that, the rates of diagnosis. Men are pretty strongly disincentivised socially from admitting to emotion or vulnerability, as well as seeking help.

Not just social influences but hormonal

@Gao Zhan I don't think theres much evidence that prehistorical societies predominantly had matriarchies, while there is evidence some did I think mostly it was more patriarchal or didn't really have a clear leader. I dont think its impossible to just celebrate our diversity and what it contributed instead of hating on it, after all weve been getting so much better at it over time, and while I'm sure setbacks are bound to happen that general trend seems likes its continuing.

@Gao Zhan How are females "oppressed in today's society"? How were males oppressed in prehistoric times?

@Neil Mo i really hope you are joking

ojiverdeconfleco I think it matters a bit when you're looking for sexism. If we found out that without sexism, we'd expect 60% of engineers to be male but in reality it was closer to 80%, we'd know that something odd was happening. But if brain differences would lead to 80%, that would be important to know because otherwise, there would be something really suspicious going on at university admissions and employment. I think his research can help educate us in trying to find where sexism is and where it isn't.

ojiverdeconfleco This is rather idiotic. Small difference in the average produces huge difference in the extreme

You can even see in the graphs Hank shows that there's way more variation between members of the same gender than between men and women as groups.

Triggered?

The average person has half a penis and half a vagina. This is a statistically accurate statement.

That's most of psychology

I mean they answer erything, they talk bout ladies having regions which are more thick and they also talk bout males having larger brains. And how basically these differences are pretty much insignificant once scaled to size and insignificant when tryna predict behavior. So differences exist but are very small. Not large enough to have complete certainty in every brain 🧠 but maybe large enough to invest money into it 👀.

@@sylvesteruchia5263great point. Whatever the differences are they aren’t showing itself to be significant

@@joaogarcia6170 maybe you should actually listen to scientists instead of pretending your an expert for ones in your life. Social conditioning is not natural. And "evolutionary psychology" only exists to explain away what is already believed.

"There are plenty of women stronger than most men" - it depends what you mean by "plenty." Obviously on a planet of 7 billion people, there will be millions of women stronger than some men. But in terms of percentages, other than number of testes, strength is just about the worst trait you could have picked to demonstrate overlap between the sexes. There's much much less overlap than for height. A recent study measured hand grip strength and classified by hand, sex and age. For all age groups the male average was at least 50% stronger than the female average. The average for males over 70 was still higher than the average for females aged 20-29. Almost all men are stronger than almost all women. If you wish to demonstrate that humans are not really very sexually dimorphic, you need to pick a different trait.

@ axons and dendrites don't require a lot of space. New neurites or new connections between existing ones form when we learn something. There is a saying: "neurons that fire together wire together" This 'wiring together' of neurons might be more important to intelligence than large brain size. Even if there were more neurons in a larger brain, which is not necessarily true, if they could not form connections, intelligence might be less in such a hypothetical larger brain.

Francesca Neibel-Spruill Definitely! Why say something so shallow and simple as "-ish" or "sort of," when you can say the same thing in ten or more words, and sound like you mean anything significant at all! Scientific writing is an art form that specializes in expansive, technical jargon that has been stripped of emotionality and imbued with the existential angst to sound "knowledgeable" above all else.

ehh, there are things the seperate us and make us different actually.

There are characteristics that they find MOST OFTEN in one sex's brain than another. However, if you look at hormones, males ALSO make estrogen, and females ALSO make testosterone, it's just that one sex tends to make more than the other. Like this: the midsaggittal plane of the corpus callosum TENDS to be larger in females than males. About 4x larger in comparison to the rest of the brain. Like he said, it could be because female brains are compensating for smaller size. However, they've found similar ratios in transgender people. Transwomen's tend to be comparatively larger, and transmen's tend to be comparatively smaller. All that being said, we still don't fully understand the brain yet, or how it all works to create individual personalities. We've barely scratched the surface.

How did you get that interpretation out of that statement?

@Robert what about your lie experience? you never see any actual life difference. men are doing the important stuff. eg, military, building and inventing. we havent seen any women doing much inventing since the last 4 decades women entered the workfield

Yu Zhen unless you I use my shrink ray

idk, whether or not differences in gender or sex could be seen on a neurological level and where those differences come from seem like much more nuanced and complicated questions than "are men and women different". just seems like you didn't watch the video to be honest

Wow you watched the video and only got out of it what you thought proved your preconceived notions. Follow up: science is black and white and always comes to conclusive answers that prove I'm right.

Honestly did you watch the video

TL;DW - Male and female brains are essentially the same. Correcting for size, and difference becomes insignificant. Anyone hoping to find scientific evidence backing the notion of transgenderism will have to look elsewhere.

And in other fascinating Psychology facts: the few *averaged differences* observed between males amd females have never been linked to any meaning behaviorally despite the amount of research examining the idea. Helps when you have a degree in the field.

kizanko yes!!! Say it louder

No such thing as objective in study, it always requires interpretation, and humans are biased. People are also biased on certain topics, so it is better to tread carefully than to cause disruptions, especially since people misuse truth often.

Often in science we study things out of curiosity and then late find that the discoveries are massively useful. The Scientists originally studying X-Rays may well have been asked “Does this matter?”. Well, as it turned out, yes. Study everything, and if you’re lucky, it will help improve the world. If not, you’ve still expanded the field of human knowledge.

That's a very valid point , but in this case I think Hank and the writers meant it as in, "Do these physical trends in differences between the brains change anything about their comparative applicable functionality?" or, "Does it make any difference?"

SLYKM you can't 'misuse' truth

Gender by definition is how one self-identifies, but the US still finds ways to twist that. Like state issued IDs have a "gender marker", which the government still thinks means sex.

they found certain key things that females are more likely to have, and found key things that men are more likely to have. most people on average have a mix of these, so we have bi-gendered brains.

Mace Windu he..literally recapped what the video said. That used sources, shocker.

That's actually how almost all characteristics work regarding almost any attempt to form categories of things. It's a messy problem that is easier to just gloss over. Basically, there are some traits where the mean is higher for males than females. So we assign a higher value to be more "male" and lower values to be more "female". But that's just the mean value. If you made ranges around those means that captured 95% of all people, there would be substantial overlap in observed values in males and females. So there are plenty of females that have higher values than males on a trait even though we label high values on that trait as more masculine. In fact, if the traits are not bound together by some underlying csusal link, it fairly quickly becomes unlikely that anyone will have all of their values in one trait correspond with the way that their sex indicates is more likely.

Oh dear. That took an unexpected turn^^

I like it!

I once heard one of my my female coworkers tell this joke at a staff meeting: Why are men's brains so small? So they can fit into their penises. To which I said, "So by that logic, women have no brains at all." My boss (a woman) excused me from attending meetings for the rest of the year.

And this right here, is why we can never achieve true equality...

We have a bigger problem when people can't distinguish between important, scientifically significant nuance and sugar coating.

6ThreeSided9 There should be no need to discern "biosex males" and "identified males".

There actually is, as there hasn't been much research done on the differences between the brains and minds of trans people and cis people and it's important that people know not to overgeneralize the results they spent this video talking about.

how can you even say that these studies have been done with people that also identify as their biological sex... that implies that gender identity changes the way the brain is for people with gender dysphoria. which is ridiculous, because that would imply that gender is a social construct. which is even more insane

Gender is a social construct, and it's more likely the structure of the brain influences gender identity than the other way around.

ye, they live longer, but i mean, why wouldnt you want to die when you suck at life?

1am bruh

Jabberwocky Draco why should it be? All he’s saying is if you found a random brain you won’t be able to tell if it’s Male or female

They defuse it by drawing a distinction between biological sex and the feminist definition of gender.

Kazmir Runik But they used the term "biosex" instead of "gender assigned," some people consider that transphobic.

Internet Hobo The idea that transgender-ism is real is basically a religion at this point, and some of the really zealous internet warriors will burn you at the stake for trying to have a fact-oriented discussion on the subject. To me, the whole thing screams of subconscious sexism because by "choosing" a gender you're essentially attributing a bunch of emotions and values to said gender - essentially sexism - rather than fighting the notion that people's chromosomes shouldn't dictate what they can and cannot be allowed to do.

Ropsana Khanom You probably would be able to make a reasonable guess based on its size, actually. Apart from that, you're right, it would be very difficult if not impossible to distinguish between a male brain and a female brain that were overall the same size.

Literally just a bunch of people getting triggered and raging over feminists that don't even exist. Can't wait till they find one comment and start unleashing all their bigotry lol.

IKR! I can't believe they didn't say that immediately, and every thirty seconds! It's well established that you have to talk about that stuff right away so you don't upset people!

Peanutbudda ikr!!!!!

The structure of the video made perfect sense. First start with the empirical data, than the explanations and nuances for why these differences are observed. A different order would just be confusing and generally badly written. Sci-show assumes people can handle a 7 minute video and process the information afterwards.

unfortunately that assumption isn't substantiated by the comments section

It's actually not established at all in the science fields, the only thing where we can find correlation is in behaviour, not the way the brain itself works. Your surrounding influences the way you act but your brain still works within the specific norm, when it doesn't it's due to a disorder/illness of some sort

That would be an extremely rough video that makes this one seem tame and politically neutral. You don't have to dig far to find results that even the scientists who found them flinch at. I also don't want to have to see more suffering and confliction from the hosts at cognitive dissonance. Why live unhappy when you only live once?

Yes but they don’t necessarily prove male and female brains. There have been studies that have shown that behaviour can change brain’s activity. And behaviours aren’t static.

The issue with this is mostly that brains aren't static, hormones influence mood which in turn influence brain activity, and that different gender-based socialization would also affect which regions of the brain are more developed/used more, so while you might be able to find certain similar trends between sexes, it would be hard to isolate their exact cause. The plasticity of the brain is fascinating, but it also makes attempting to categorize specific things quite difficult

Sometimes the truth (or at least what has been discovered by research) isn't sensational.

omNomios average physical size, hormone/neurotransmitter receptors...

Exactly. I thought males were born with a 25% smaller corpus callosum and that it was more fragile during the first 12 years or so of life. I would say likely from the sex change of becoming male. They said it caused men to be more prone to lasting damage from childhood abuse.

WebX I dunno. Women on average are *way* more neurotic. That's why such a greater number of them suffer from mental conditions. Maybe it's sort of a catch-22 where women are actually always neurotic like that, it's just that during early childhood, men simply haven't fully developed.

Is that dead people falling

Was waiting for hemispheric specialization to be discussed. Still waiting. It is well supported by evidence that male brains favour one hemisphere or the other for virtually all cognitive processes whereas female brains use both. What that implies is up for debate but it is a fact and could potentially be very useful for empirically identifying transgender individuals whose hemispheric specialization pattern is at odds with the pattern typical of their sex based on chromosomes.

Jynx C. Well, it depends on the mice. My good friend does medical research, and she’s spent two years breeding a very specific genetic line of mice. To get the genes she needs in the offspring, she has to breed specific mice with each other. Sometimes a female and a male will sit together for two weeks without doing anything, due to lack of interest in each other. It’s quite frustrating, because after a certain age the quality of the offspring declines, so there’s a pressure to get as many good litters as possible. And also, she told me that just like in humans, mouse fertility varies. Not every female mouse has a high enough fertility to get pregnant every week. Every week or two I see this friend, and ask how her mice are breeding. She’s usually stressed about them not breeding, tbh, but ofc it would be easier if they didn’t care about genetic lines and could put fifty mice in a big breeding free for all play ground :)

Helen Fischer hormone personality theory. It appears to be sound explanation for myers Briggs Personality typing in my opinion. Dr dario nardi told me about her. He is a psychologist and he has linked her analysis to myers Briggs. Hormones causing 4 out of 8 personality traits. Introvert/Extrovert Intuitive/Sensor Thinker/Feeler Judger/Perceiver Are linked to the hormones Testosterone, Estrogen, Oxytocin, Dopamine, and Serotonin
