I just reject that premise and move on. The genetic traits that influence a person's psychology are not all there is to the person.




Do you consider psychology to be a science rather than a pseudoscience?

It's not as rigorous as other sciences, such as physics, so much of it is pseudoscientific though parts of it are certainly more scientific, especially those parts that are closer to the actual neurology of the brain, such as neuropsychology, or involve some kind of measurement of stable traits, like as in psychometry.

What else is there to a person besides the genetic traits and how much can they compensate for "bad genes"(Such as those underlying mental disorders and developmental disorders.)?

The actions one performs. Do musicians really get wired differently after a while because they were born that way? Every action, thought, variation due to the Brownian motion, and change will influence the individual's neurochemistry.

In general, how much of a person's mind is hereditary but not genetic, i.e. familial influences?

The influences that a person has presented to them do not make the decisions themselves. Whether genetic or from one's family or surroundings, the influences one is presented with in the present are merely choices. One can choose whether they accept or reject an influence; one can choose to be a paragon of excellence according to the standards that they are taught to be held in high regard or they can be a renegade and rebel against them also, but either way what they do is a choice and the options of the choices presented are not chosen by the options but by the chooser. The chooser is the individual and how they respond to the influences presented determines their character.



What do you think about the planet Mercury?

I think it is too far away to visit.

When did you last have your blood pressure tested ?

Today and it was at 152/77.

Same Question.

Last time I was at Wal-Mart, in 2007, it was 117/81.



What do you consider to be your career of choice?

Property develpment and investment

What do you think is your biggest character flaw/weakness?

Communication-related ToM deficits. They're pretty apparent judging from others reactions.

What is your greatest strength?

Patience is my greatest strength. My ability to wait and persist while other people are impatiently going crazy because they cannot wait for even mere food to be done cooking in their state-of-the-art microwaves. It saves money to be patient and wait, such as with consoles and computers and everything that used to be overly expensive in their heyday but decreased dramatically in price with the passage of time. People who go out and buy everything that is the latest fad only waste money because of their impatience. But I wait and watch while everyone else buys inferior products at absurd prices. Years later I buy superior products for a lower cost, so mine is the last laugh.



Same question.

The ability to use my photographic memory and aspie traits to acquire information very quickly and thourghly, which eventually turns weaknesses (like social skills) into advantages.

What is your favorite food?

Cheeseburgers are my favourite food.


Same question.

My favourite food is cheese and I have erased from my memory that it is basically rancid milk.

Bar of soap or liquid soap ?

Liquid soap in a foam dispenser.

If you could travel back to any time, which year would you choose?

1975, and I would try to become one of the first Microsoft employees so that I could be a multimillionaire a decade later after the IPO, haha.

Same question.

I would go back to 1965, because that was when The Kinks were the most popular. They were even more popular than The Beatles at one point in that year.

Same question
