Maybe Schizophrenics Should Solve the Word's Problems

In a really interesting study reported at world-science.net, it seems that schizophrenics are better at problems to do with logic (on a limited basis) than us norms.
It has to do with the way we take context into account when solving a problem. Context can actually trap us into making logical errors.
The study, done in France, found 58% of norms failing in a particular logic task, compared to only 19% of non-norms failing the same task.
There could be many reasons why the norms fell for the trap, but the bottom line is that they fell for it.
I say that we get a group of schizophrenics, lets say 50-200 and we try to explain problems like Iran's nukes, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Darfur, Arab terror, global warming, gay marriages, abortion, young earth philosophers, IDers, over-population, the Iraq war, Muslim cartoon violence, and limited oil resources. We then act on their solutions as long as there is an overwhelming (70%+) agreement by the non-norms.
The two biggest problems are, how can these problems be put to schizophrenics in an unbiased way, and how can we get the world to listen to their logical answers.

IT LOOKS LIKE I'VE BEEN OUTED AS A FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIAN

A whole post proves I'm a Fundamentalist Christian, leaving very little doubt about it.
The Atheologist: Don’t Judge A Blog By Its Cover, makes a very good argument about the apparent facade I have been trying to pull off.

The Atheologist does pride himself on his detective work, just look at his avatar:


A few things I will argue about his research on me. I don't like conspiracy theories against Israel. I have a job, though I can understand his mistake, as I hide it very well. My wife doesn't even think I work. And he really needs to do something about his hearing if he believes I have a great singing voice.

I can't argue with the rest of his post because I might get accused of protesting too much.

CULTURE OF HATE EXPECTED TO BLOW UP SOME CANADIANS

Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency has warned: a terror attack on Canadian soil is "now probable."

It seem that the Religion of Peace has found a reason to hate us. Stupid us. We obviously haven't done everything we can to make Canada a Muslim country yet.

Looks like we need to be taught a lesson. Some innocent people need to die, so we can learn.

Thank you Liberal Moonbats, for allowing terror cells to grow in Canada. Until there is a Mosque on every street corner, us Canadians will have to watch our backs.

One more thing I've realized, our troops in Afghanistan are much braver than me. I'm a wimp (a keyboard warrior) in comparison to the Western ground soldiers fighting terror. These soldiers are fighting for our freedom and our future. The sickness of Islam must be defeated and reformed. Most Canadians haven't realized it yet, but according to CSIS we will understand it soon enough.

Aaron, from Aaron's Case, on his main page, speaks for many of us when he says: "Hey, I'm just a friendly family guy and relatively high-profile blogger who objects to a religion that would dhimmify all non-adherants and make them pay jizya for the privilege of remaining alive under Muslim rule. It pains me deeply that there has yet to be even a rally of even 1000 Muslims out of the 1.2 billion adherants anywhere on earth to renounce violent jihad or even to protest the widespread practice of female genital mutilation and honor killing seemingly unique to that faith throughout the Islamic world.".....but publish a cartoon of Mohammed and watch the shit fly.

I have a few questions for Evangelicals

I don't know how much response I will get over this one, but here goes:

Lets say you start questioning things like the age of the earth and evolution. First off, do Evangelicals question these things? And if you do and actually start buying into the reality of an ancient earth and evolution, do you start questioning people at your church, the head honcho Preacher for instance, or close friends you see at church regularly?

Are you content with their answers? If you changed your mind about Young Earth Creation, would you change churches, or not go, or go less? Do you find a pressure on you to believe the unbelievable?

I'd like honest answers here, even from ex-Christians if you feel like sharing.

AM I A RACIST

Am I a racist if I say:

Most illegal immigrants in the United States come from Mexico.

9/11 was planned and carried out by Arabs.

Blacks have a much better chance to become NFL running backs than whites, and especially white Jews.

Blacks have a much better chance of making the NBA than whites, and especially white Jews.

Many blacks have a different genetic make up than many whites which enables many blacks to be better athletes in sports like basketball, football and to a lesser extent baseball, and this is a big reason blacks are over-represented in these sports.

Short people have a better chance of becoming jockeys than tall people.

Muslims carry out most suicide bombing attacks in the world today.

Many first generation Chinese North Americans tend to appear physically pushier than most other people, and many tend to be lousier drivers. This could be due to culture and/or genetics, most likely a combination.

Most gays are genetically predisposed to be gay.

Up to 50% of Saudis historically are inbred (second cousins or closer).

Many Middle Eastern Arab Muslims are taught from an early age to hate the West and Israel.

Jews are over-represented as lawyers, accountants, doctors, and stand-up comedians.

The sky appears blue during a cloudless day.

I don't think Jimmy the Greek should have been fired for saying: "The slave owner would breed this big Black with this big Black woman so he could have a big Black kid."1

Only one black NFL quarterback won a Super Bowl. It was back in 1988, when the Washington Redskins beat the Denver Broncos.

Wasington's NFL team's nickname is Redskins.

Close to 45% of Americans believe in Young Earth Creation and think evolution is a crock.

Blacks are over-represented in jails.

When it comes to pets, dogs appear more loyal to their owner than cats do in most cases.

Not very much in the way of medical or technical advances have come from Arab countries over the last 1000 or so years.

The average IQ of those who live in Arab countries is approximately 83.

Ashkenazi Jews have an average IQ of around 107.

Blacks in America have a lower IQ average than whites in America.

Close to 65% of Americans who drop out of high school believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old.

If a terrorist act was committed today, it was most likely carried out by a Muslim.

Bats are the only mammal that actually flies.



1 In his autobiographical Narrative, Frederick Douglass (a former slave) describes a young landowner named Covey, just starting out in life, who could only afford one slave. So he bought a woman named Caroline, "a large able-bodied woman about twenty years old."

"Shocking as is the fact," Douglass wrote, "he bought her, as he said, for a breeder." Then Covey went out and rented a married male slave, "And him he used to fasten up with Caroline every night! The result was that at the end of the year, the miserable woman gave birth to twins." A similar account appears in a series of narratives assembled by Fisk University in Nashville. "They would buy a fine girl and a fine man and just put them together like cattle," one former slave recalled. "They would not stop to marry them. If she was a good breeder, they was proud of her. I was stout and they were saving me for a breeding woman, but by the time I was big enough I was free."
