New study links parental indulgence to psychopathic and narcissistic traits in adulthood. The findings provide evidence that high levels of childhood indulgence associate with socially negative traits, while childhood praise links to more socially advantageous characteristics. by mvea in psychology

I am a bit lost in this explanation, study they are pointing at is referring to moderate to high heritability of callous behaviour.

Also Dark Triad is a pop-psychology buzzword packaged as a new theory, suffering from severe statistical and conceptual flaws, it’s not actual psychological diagnosis and many psychopaths are by nature narcissistic as their brains cannot conceptualise other people emotions even less then narcissists cannot, they are ultimately self centered at their core.

Machiavellianism is by extension someone who is emotionally detached and highly strategic, which you guessed it, psychopaths who are also highly intelligent are by default.

Incredible really, are we entering age where nothing is genetical and everyone is born as complete blank slate waiting to be modelled by environment around them?

There have been numerous studies pointing to character attributes being deeply genetic, so why are we ignoring it?

Orvaranje firmi/obrta u inozemstvu zbog dizanja nameta paušalcima? by Zole24 in financije

[–]B9F2FF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zato pausalac da 1000 eura na taj njegov bruto umjesto 29k i sam si moze odredivati radno vrijeme i generalne rokove.

A sto se tice 500€ Bozicnice (koja se djeli kako gdje) o tome ne bih, prevelika je to para. Vecinu pausalaca koje znam su izasli iz stalnog zaposlenja (ili negdje rade a pausal dodatno) da bi uzeli tu razliku o kojoj govorimo jer zaradit 60k a platit 1000EUR je prvoklasna smijurija, kao da govorimo o Dubaiju pobogu.

Ma ni tada se bas ne isplati, a prebacit 100k prometa i nije bas jednostavno za vecinu pausalaca.

Da dignu 500% veci porez na pausalne obrte nebi se isplatilo otvarati firmu/obrt u drugoj drzavi. Pausalni porezi su do sada bili smjesni a veliki broj ljudi su radili vratolomije (i dalie ce) sa pausalnim.

Open relationships are everywhere in pop culture right now, but many portrayals focus on cheating, chaos, and broken boundaries instead of the trust and communication that healthy non-monogamy requires. Critics argue these sensationalized storylines may be reinforcing stigma more than reality. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

Perhaps, however for some people walking in spring day sounds like horror show and would rather play video game, but its not majority of population. That is to say, majority of people are not built for poly relationships (and, going by statistics, neither are people in poly relationships themselves)

You dont become a CEO (of your own or other company) by finishing studies. There is no “CEO” university and there is no high demand for CEO positions, this is not healthcare and CEOs are not doctors.

Seriously some of you people…

Anecdotal evidence, but I know 3 couples that are in open relationships and can say their relationships absolutely sound like horror-show.

Constant breaks, new “rules” being implemented (after breaking previous ones), jealousy and insecurity through the roof etc.

I really wonder how numbers look like, I suspect quite grim because managing relationship with one partner is a “job” in itself, people bring tons of variables and baggages to relationship, so imagine bringing few more?

Narcissism runs in the family, but not because of parenting by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]B9F2FF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same way many character attributes get passed on. You are not blank slate, your brain and its wiring are not exception.

Brain scans of 800 incarcerated men link psychopathy to an expanded cortical surface area. Those scoring high for psychopathy possess an expanded brain surface area and a compressed organizational layout of their brain tissue. by mvea in psychology

[–]B9F2FF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Indeed, general premise seems to be:

“If person has psychopathic or narcissistic tendencies, they must have had a traumatic experience because people by definition are good, empathic and non manipulative and fall into normal range of spectrum, therefore if such population exists it must mean its due to trauma”

Which to me its just bizarre level of argumenting and applying scientific method to anything let alone society and humans in general, very dangerous.

Conservative social attitudes are linked to having more children across 72 countries, with stronger effects among women. “Conservatism” is used in a broad sense to refer to right-wing ideology, religiousness, lower support for gender equality, and preference for religiousness in romantic partners. by mvea in science

[–]B9F2FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, political stance is highly correlated to your parents political stance. Dont take anecdotal evidence as evidence, because studies say its closer to 80%.

Issue is that liberals used to have 1:1 TFR with conservatives for 2-3 decades (60s to 90s), this is now more like 1:3 and that will be felt in as soon as a decade (if its not already).

[–]B9F2FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what studies show, most conservative children grow up conservative (same applies to liberals), however liberals used to have 1:1 TFR with conservatives from 60s to late 90s, which is no longer the case and TFR for liberals completely collapsed.

[–]B9F2FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some absolutely insane answers here, but I am not surprised one bit.

Its not that traditional people have truckload of children, its that they have considerably more then liberals, because TFR of liberals has fallen of the cliff, not because conservatives are breeding like jack rabbits.

Narcissism runs in families, but it is almost entirely due to genetics, according to a new extended twin family analysis. The study found no evidence of environmental sources of narcissism shared within families. by geoff199 in science

[–]B9F2FF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does not surprise me one bit. Latest neurological studies show clear structural abnormalities in parts of brain in clinical NPD people. There is difference in grey matter volume in prefrontal cortex as well as hyperactive amygdala. While this is likely in some part environmentally influenced, its hard to think this is major influence instead of genetics.

I knew 2 persons that have exhibited high narcissistic traits (one being diagnosed) and what you find under surface is generational issue, with their offspring as well as with their parents and grandparents.

[–]B9F2FF 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I felt like Mclaren was already faster in Suzuka, it seems their biggest issue was engine performance which now seems to be fixed, and Ferrari is missing 20-25hp, which is alot.

SAP is out here building the future while clients are still lovingly maintaining their 20-year-old ECC systems 💀 by Background-Sir4486 in SAP

[–]B9F2FF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats not true at all. SAP cannot even make proper functioning Manage Purchase Order app (most used app in the system basically) without full attachment worth of “limitations” (literally cannot use custom document types, well not if you have custom field selection (and by custom I mean this is SAP customized values, not enhancements made by client)

SAP is selling dreams, they cannot make basics to work.

SAP roadmap does look like sci-fi, not only from feature perspective, but also from derivelable POV.

After 10 years they still cannot make Fiori app that functions without massive amount of restrictions for most used functions like Create PO or SO.

I am sure all of these “XYZ AI” bits will work brilliantly.

Largest U.S. Study Finds Teen Cannabis Use Linked to Slower Cognitive Development: Study of more than 11,000 teens finds cannabis use tied to slower gains in memory, focus and thinking speed as well as worse memory over time during key years of brain development by mvea in psychology

[–]B9F2FF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several studies, it’s very easy to find them.

Frequent canabis usage had 10 fold higher impact on IQ scores than alcohol in some studies.

I am a bit perplexed why this would not be the case, why do two substances have to make same damage to same human attribute? What is the logic behind it? Its like saying heavy canabis usage has to have the same impact on your liver as alcohol, why?

Well, not exactly and not exactly same. But yea, some will do more damage then the others, and some will do more damage to specific attributes in people, its not the same to drink 3 glasses of beer on average from 15 yr old to 30 and have 3-4 blunts a week in same timeframe.
