Peter: Females and males are different in thinking for example, but is an error to speak about superiority and inferiority. Think about multi-tasking as an example.

Women can multi-task better than men because the corpus collosum which joins the two hemispheres is measurably thicker in the female hominid. Women can probably get both sides of their brains talking to one another more harmoniously than us blokes. I imagine there are other ways that women differ fundamentally about fundamental thinking. It was recently discovered after an anonymous survey was done for example, that 63% of men who had secret bank accounts admitted that they used it to fund their vices and SMB (Secret Men's Business) out of. 83% of women who had secret bank accounts on the other hand used it to save money and look after the finances and make purchases from which the partner benefited.

I am interested in your interest in The Female Mind.

Dear Kim,

Actually what you say refers to the characteristics of the female mind, it is not a
comparative evaluation. In my newsletters I have reported about many studies
in neuro-sciences about this problem. I even know a professor in Hungary who
is a specialist in the influence of the sex hormones on the activity of neurons.
Anyway I am based on my life experience - in research, many years as leader of
teams and I have worked with many very bright lady researchers.
Probably a problem is that they are usually taking less risks re the Medawar Zone
I guess you know my

But there were exceptions.

I have a wife, a daughter and two grand-daughters, I can study the female
mind.

Re Humour I have a problem; a Danish friend has sent me this joke:

"Jesus is walking around Heaven and he sees a carpenter at work, and
his name is Joseph! He goes up to him and asks "Father?". Joseph looks
up and asks "Pinocchio??"

Have to think how my S theory is valid in this case.

Dear Luis,

I have actually written in 2009 an editorial in two parts with references and quotations
about HUMOUR. Very long, unfortunately in Romanian but we have Google Translate
There are issues 358 and 359. You can access them on Google keyword "info kappa umorul"
Please try and see if you get at least the references. I use Google Translatewell, plus Spanish
and Romanian are similar in many respects.
If you do not succeed please write me to peter.gluck@gmail.com and I will send
them with great pleasure.
Best,
Peter

Dear Luis,

For all my Info Kappas there is an Editorial and a colllection of Quotation
many of them re the subject. The Editorials are usually based on trying to
rethink one important CONCEPT. I have hesitated long months to write
about Humour, very tricky subject.
You can find (if you wish) writings similar to the Editorials in English in
my Blog Ego Out, label basic.
I will try to help you in your research

Dear Luis,

My Blog waits your visits. My main preoccupations are New Energy and
Problems Solving, my 20 Rules are available in many languages and
are really efficient- however I will write about other subjects too. I have
to finish the 100 Septoes project inspired by Edward de Bono.
Peter
