Doesn\u2019t Tell You About Race\u201d
\n In this article, Gladwell argues that ethnic IQ differences are merely circumstantial. Gladwell claims that the mind is more like a muscle then we had ever imagined. The more it is exercised, the stronger it gets. Also, he brings up the Flynn effect. An effect that documents how much smarter we\u2019ve been getting every year. Apparently, we are much smarter then our grandparents. And our grandparents are far smarter then they\u2019re grandparents. Many factors were assessed, but the point was to prove that race has nothing to do with intelligence, and he did just that. He takes in to consideration culture, domestic background, and economic background. He claims that blacks, Hispanics, etc. are all disadvantaged in those areas, so they score lower because IQ test content is less relevant to them.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"19021919","dateCreated":"1263847666","smartDate":"Jan 18, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"connorpurington","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/connorpurington","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/twenty-six.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/19021919"},"dateDigested":1532429085,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Podcast review","description":"Connor Purington

\n\u201cThis American Life\u201d Podcast #397
\n
\n This entire podcast was fairly grim. The host basically got together a bunch of predictions for the year 2010, not just vague predictions, specific predictions. He told us about how a girl named Lisa is going to die, and how the rest of his year will be thrown off balance. Also, there are predictions about 6th graders, the middle east, and the economy. I get the feeling this was an awkward 1st \u201cAmerican life\u201d podcast to watch. Nothing was all that enthusiastic and except for the select few, 2010 is gonna suck and we\u2019re going to have another civil war.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"18568839","dateCreated":"1262681264","smartDate":"Jan 5, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"Kaimana.Pinto","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Kaimana.Pinto","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/twenty-six.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/18568839"},"dateDigested":1532429085,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"The Naked Face (1)","description":""Can you read people's thoughts just by looking at them?" This question's seems quite simple: No. But a handful of men and women have evidently disproved that simple answer. One of these men, John Yarbrough, had a stand-off with a drunken 17 year-old boy, and did not fire. Now as many would thing, the "logical" thing to do would be to shoot the boy before he shoots you, but John Yarbrough, a n ex-marine trained to kill, claims that "logic had nothing to do with it...it was a gut reaction." Yarbrough showed mercy to this boy, and amazingly, the boy returned the favor. Yarbrough could see straight through that boy.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"18568841","body":"http:\/\/www.gladwell.com\/2002\/2002_08_05_a_face.htm<\/a>","dateCreated":"1262681280","smartDate":"Jan 5, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"Kaimana.Pinto","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Kaimana.Pinto","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"18567957","dateCreated":"1262668045","smartDate":"Jan 4, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"Kaimana.Pinto","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Kaimana.Pinto","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/twenty-six.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/18567957"},"dateDigested":1532429085,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"This I Used to Believe","description":""This I Used to Believe" is a radio-show topic discussing people's past beliefs, why they believed them, and why they no longer believe them.

\nIn \u201cMind Games\u201d, they had three separate stories of how people played mental games with others. The first two \u201cgames\u201d were relatively harmless. But the last story was a tragic use of the mind to accomplish something terribly evil. The first story was about a woman fabricating a small lie to meet a man, which turned into a very odd experience. The second story involved a man named Charlie who wants to introduce his dream world to the real world. The last story was about a man who abducted a girl and made her \u201cinvisible\u201d by playing on societies weaknesses.
