mllelaurelAaaaaah! I feel like I've read the third chapter in the book we're reading for Psych (Genius, by Hans Eyesenck) three times, and it's still coming out like gobbledygook. Eyesenck sites references, but doesn't explain, and my brain is starting to interpret his text as an interminable, incomprehensible mathematical formula, rather than social/scientific theory.
So far, what this book is teaching me is that I'm certainly not a genius, IQ of 140 be damned. Gods, I feel dumb.
(Contrast this with my Sexuality and Politics reading: Sexing the Body by Anne Fausto-Sterling, which also correlates science and sociology, and which I've found not just challenging but comprehensible and fascinating.)
In conclusion, my head hurts.
