Blueprint:How DNA makes us who we are

Robert Plomin is a psychologist and geneticist ranked as the 71st most "eminent psychologist of the 20th century." Plomin has run the most extensive and detailed twin and adoption studies in history, and his book Blueprint is about how genes influence our behavior. In this episode, we talk about why DNA matters. How much of who we are can contribute to the environment, and how much to our genes? Why children in the same family are different, and why parenting and schools do not make a significant impact, how the DNA revolution gives us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. And much more.

The Case Against Reality 2/2

If natural selection shapes our senses, then we don't see reality as it is. Instead, as Hoffman put it, our perceptions constitute an interface specific to our species. Spacetime is the desktop of this interface, and physical objects are among its icons. And all icons, whether a glass on your desk or a star, don't exist when no one perceives or observes them. Something exists when I see a water glass or a star; whatever it is, it triggers the perceptual system to create glass or the moon. But when I look away, I no longer generate that glass and cease to exist. Hoffman starts chapter six, titled Gravity Spacetime is Doomed, by predicting that all objects in space and time don't exist when not observed. He begins with the testable predictions from physic that a photon, when unobserved, has no definite polarization value. And an electron, when unobserved, has no actual value of spin, position, or momentum.

The Case Against Reality

Evolution has endowed us with senses that hide the truth and display the simple icons we need to survive enough to raise offspring. And our perception is not a window to objective reality. Instead, it is an interface that hides the objective reality behind the veil of helpful icons. Donald Hoffman says, I take my perceptions seriously, but not literally, and the book is about why we should do the same and why that matters.

Emotional Intelligence

The abilities to master love and work, as Sigmund Fruid put it, are distinguishing characteristics of a healthy life. To love and share life with someone, especially in our time, is not easy, and the book tracks the data on the divorce rate in the united states since 1890, when it was about 10 percent, and compares it with the current rate of divorce, which is close to 67%. The current divorce trend, as Goleman says, makes emotional intelligence more crucial than ever. The vast amount of research shows that there are emotional differences between men and women, partly biological. Still, Goleman says it also can be followed back to childhood when boys and girls are taught different lessons about handling emotions. A good example is how parents discuss feelings with a child; generally, parents are more advertent about talking about emotions with their daughters than their sons, exposing girls to more emotional information than boys.

Emotional Inteligence

The first formulation of the concept of "emotional intelligence" was offered in the beginning by Peter Salovey, a professor at Yale, and then his graduate student John Mayer, in one of the less popular psychology journals that no longer exist. Those were days when the claim that a high IQ is the standard of excellence in life was unquestioned; Salovey and Mayer offered a new way of thinking about the ingredients of life success. And as a science reporter at The New York Times, Daniel Goleman wrote an article in 1990 about how to be intelligent about emotions. He was fascinated by the term "emotional intelligence" and used it as the title of his 1994 book. Since the book was published, the phrase has become ubiquitous, spread to the far corners of our planet, and sometimes showed up in settings as unlikely as shampoo bottles. Goleman uses Emotional Intelligence to synthesize a vast domain of scientific findings and draw together what had been separated strands of research. He reviews and relies on various scientific developments, such as the first fruits of the new field of Affective neuroscience, which focuses on how emotions are regulated in the brain.
