  • In most cultures it is taboo coitus with one’s mother (and by extension incest in general) but not ever changed. What are these reasons? All of them are likely related to the genetic consequence (read ‘aberration’) that can arise from such activities.

    So most languages/cultures have concepts very closely related to’motherf4cker.’ Certainly the story of Oedipus is probably the most famous example of the concept in popular and ancient culture, and correspondingly words to describe the practice(s) involved.

    What comes out of my native Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages is “mother-‘ or “sister-f4cker’ respectively).

    Do you find the Anglicised version a taboo idea in American African-American speaking?

    Intelligence is a very contentious word/concept. With regard to ethnicity, there are various articles in literature arguing for the linguistic intelligence over the concrete math of the way it has been developed. Some are racially or culturally biased, others favour linguistic intelligence and so on.

    What is the meaning of Intelligence in Wikipedia? Why doesn’t someone teach you the importance and why should you follow one more than the other? I have an adult friend who is mathematical genius. Besides mathematics, he struggles with many other aspects of human-human interaction. And he has trouble following the plot of children’s films. Similarly I have another friend who displays a high degree of ’emotional Intelligence’but who has to pull out the calculator to do basic arithmetic in supermarkets.
