Of course, not everyone will agree with either the methods or the conclusions arrived by the researchers of this study. Religious folks, will naturally take offence. Atheists, like Amos Yee, on the other hand, will claim the study validates what he has always known.

On a separate but related note, the following paragraph excerpt from the Newsweek article on the study, is illustrated succinctly and pithily by the intro scene of the movie "Idiocracy".
But this is not all good news for non-believers, nor does it mean heightened intelligence will be selected, eventually leading to a species full of hyper-intelligent atheists. Instead, the ability to override your instincts would likely lead to a decline in intelligent, atheist people, because they are more likely to be antisocial and to have fewer children—or to not have them at all.

The tension between Israel and Iran appears to be heightening. Hossein Salami, deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), recently said: “Hezbollah has 100,000 missiles that are ready to hit Israel to liberate the occupied Palestinian territories if the Zionist regime repeats its past mistakes.�
He added: “Today, the grounds for the annihilation and collapse of the Zionist regime are [present] more than ever.� Salami warned that if Israel made the “wrong move,� it would come under attack.
A few weeks ago, a senior adviser to the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, Ahmad Karimpour, said Iran could destroy Israel “in less than eight minutes� if Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei gave the order.
There are several reasons why Iran’s repeated anti-Israel statements may be pure rhetoric. They are most likely meant as a type of psychological warfare, because Iran cannot afford direct conflict with Israel.
Although Iran is larger geographically and in terms of population, its military capacity is inferior. Even regarding missile capabilities, which Iranian generals boast about, Israel’s are greater in range and number.
What fundamentally changes the balance of power is Israel’s nuclear capacity. It is widely believed to have some 200 nuclear warheads that can be used with intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as nuclear-armed submarines.
As such, Iran’s policy toward Israel is to not strike first, as doing so would be suicidal for the ruling political establishment, whose main objective is to maintain power. It would be more effective to fight Israel via its Lebanese Shiite proxy Hezbollah.
Tehran’s repeated boasting about IRGC capabilities is aimed at invoking nationalist sentiment among the public, because Iranian leaders know that the overwhelming majority of Iranians are dissatisfied with the hardliners and the political establishment.
Kazem, 29, PhD student majored in public health, pointed out “I would like to see a regime change in Iran, but I want Iran, ruled by any government even the current clergies, to be stronger than any country in the region including Israel. Iran should be the most powerful nation in the region militarily, technologically and economically as it was under Shah era or thousands of years of the Persian empire�.

Rose Tang : Musician / Artivist / Writer posted :
"I was among the last group of students who were forced out of Tiananmen Square at dawn of June 4, 1989. I was beaten up and caught in a stampede. I trampled over several bodies and had to climb over a tank.
A student holding a small pair of blood-stained glasses with a bullet hole told me he saw troops shooting at two little girls to the south of Monument to People’s Heroes in the middle of the square.
The girl aged around 12 was shot in the face as she shielded her 6-year-old sister with her little body. They had come out for a walk the night before and were stuck in the square as People’s Liberation Army troops and tanks surrounded the square."

Well, with the RM-SGD exchange rate, it's not that impressive... but to be fair, the average income for Singaporeans is 4x that of Malaysians. So it's an impressive amount for Malaysians.

Why white hair grows faster than black hair (people used to think this was a myth, which contradicts direct observation, until scientific research proved it, and worked out a genetic biochemical mechanism for this observation), and the medical significance of having white hair, eg. premature high concentration of white hair in some young people.

While many women hate her and almost all men love her for saying what she said, thinking it means she admits men are superior to women, few people realize what she's really saying is that being in the frontline combat units, even undergoing the training, damages women's bodies too much (she became permanently infertile and sterile as a result of damage to her body from her Marines Officer combat training), so she's saying that women shouldn't have to suffer like this, let the men suffer for the women instead.
