  • is "culture" distinct from "nature"?

    How much of our culture is determined by our biology? How much of our biology is determined by our culture? This second question may seem like a confusion or a categorical mistake, but I suggest it is possible - even very plausible - that at least brain structures are affected by cultural factors. For instance: musicians' brains are physically ...

  • What a horrible woman

    How can anyone write such nonsense? All you've succeeded in doing Ms. Tsai is reinforce the uncivilized and damaging notion that the human body is something to be ashamed of.
