Socialist Science Bullshit

The report explains why socialist scientists cant walk and chew gum at the same time, and illustrates the IQ fraud. Humans excel at multi-tasking, and our bodies multi-task 24/7 naturally. Multi-tasking is the optimal use of our time and clearly demonstrates how smart we really are. Smarts is all about results NOT how well we navel gaze and compose unrhymed poems that suck.

Yeah, multi-tasking is a non-issue. That's why I don't mind at all people talking on the phone while they are driving.

 

[DesEsseintes]

I imagine it depends on the complexity of the task. I can walk and breathe at the same time. I can't compose a madrigal and solve quadratic equations at the same time.

Maybe that makes me stupid.

I think DesEsseintes is right

<Glows. Reads over and over again.>
I think I've just found something for the 'What makes you horny' thread...

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The proposition is absurd because 99.99% of what we do involves multi-tasking.

I mean, try cooking without multi-tasking. The Nimrods would have you do it all sequentially (fill a pan with water, watch it boil), when its efficacious to skip the water heating part to make salad instead. You really gonna sit and watch your fish-sticks brown? Of course not. Youre gonna set the table or go take a shit or remove the clothes from the dryer till the stove clock alerts you its time to pull the cake from the oven.

While the stove heats the water, you're not multi-tasking when you make the salad. While the oven browns the fish sticks, it isn't multi-tasking to set the table.

Try taking the clothes from the dryer, or taking your shite or making the salad at the same time you're heating a stir-fry dinner.


*edit: I suppose that at your advanced age - taking a shite while cooking is probably not that uncommon, although it still isn't multi-tasking as involuntary bowel movements require no conscious thought.

 

[DesEsseintes]

I enjoy being absorbed in a task, anyway. I don't see it as a bad thing.

I think that's the origin of what we call Zen, or mindfulness - the ability to focus everything on something and make it good. That's why I love the Japanese tea ceremony so much. Such attention to detail - such focused love - says nothing less than, 'The world is beautiful, and I am proud to contribute to its beauty.'

I wasted all tho years in grad school, I coulda come to GB and got an education worth every penny it costs.

Back in the 50s-60s silly shit perfessers tagged gay as a mental disorder, said moms cause schizophrenia (one famous psychiatrist, Harry Stack Sullivan, beat up his patients to 'connect' with them, and ADHD was caused by sugar or food dye or fairy dust or whatever. And the perfessers are still dreaming up silly shits.

That was relevant.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

That was relevant.

And little has changed in 60 years.

As my Western Civilization perfesser said, SPACE INVADERS BUILT THE PYRAMIDS.

I think I'll decline attending dinner at the Johnson home.

I can cook and give the BF a BJ at the same time. (Think that qualifies as multi-tasking.)
