About me

 * I'm interested in Psychology, Philosophy, History, Religion, Politics, and Evolution. Most of my edits are devoted to these subjects, but some will veer off into my personal interests/hobbies.

Todo list

 * Some cleanup work on Heritability of IQ article
 * Fix organization of twin study article.
 * Update Sex and psychology and Gender identity articles with more stuff on psychology. JR Harris's The Nurture Assumption has great studies from both a genetic and environmental perspective on this.
 * Get a good start on Evolution of God article
 * Add stuff on Israel to regional instability section of 2011 Egyptian revolution
 * Update racism in the united states article with stuff on Asians and affirmative action
 * Start behavioral genetics page on the right track.
 * Organize Birth rates article, and update to include her research which find that income changes don't result in changes in birth rates.
 * Incorporate the Pew Poll on Egyptian political views to relevant articles (Egypt, Politics of Egypt, articles on the organizations asked about, Islam and democracy etc.)
 * Update testosterone to include stuff on differences between groups and generations
 * Work on Eric Hoffer related articles
 * Update Environment and intelligence article to be more scientific. Some of its claims are farfetched, and some evidence for shared environment isn't even mentioned (e.g. seperated twin studies) and the Flynn effect
 * IQ article needs a reorganization that simplifies the sections.. And add more discussion of (non-health) environmental effects to IQ article. Peer groups, for example.
 * Perhaps update the birth order page
 * Academic achievement needs to be written
 * Maybe start an article on Genes and income or something similarly titled, if I can find good sources.
 * Herb Gintis is a place to start.
 * Sacertdote studies, The Bell Curve, etc. are relevant
 * I think a Demographics of Islam article would be good. Might start it if people agree.
 * Probably incorporate discussion of behavioral differences into sex differences article
 * Contribute to articles based on my bookmarks from online reading.
 * ADHD
 * Causes of male vs. female attractiveness (Survival of the Prettiest, are good sources here)
 * Peer Groups
 * Social status
 * Heritability of income inequality (Herb Gintis paper)
 * Stuff on the general universality of physical attractiveness
 * Criticism of "Conscious" rap
 * More stuff on Israel like this
 * Weakness of expert predictions


 * Contribute to articles based on non-fiction books I've read.
 * A lot of useful info/opinions to write in from The Nurture Assumption, The Blank Slate, etc.
 * See if I could contribute to attachment theory
 * Write in stuff on Christianity, Judaism, and Islam from The Evolution of God
 * Epistle to Galatians stuff (pg 316)
 * [Tons of stuff...]
