[--Tacit Oath--]

GChat上在倒计时，还有27天就学期结束了。
觉得这学期真是悲剧，好生生的exchange结果居然变得前所未有的期待学期结束OTL总的来说完全就是被compiler project害的不然的话我这学期应该过的……好吧说惬意是自欺欺人的但是至少不会这么凄惨（泪）
当我还在做os project的时候team member发邮件来说他已经把CSE做完了，那个，原来应该是我的份……好吧，whatever。一开始还很坚持要平均分的可是沦落到现在已经完全无所谓了本来就技不如人啦死撑着又有什么意思。
其实总的来说这个学期收获还是很大的虽然经历了体力上（8小时+关lab <--和某个在实验室里连续待了13个小时写matlab的姐姐相比来说其实不算什么）和精神上（自尊心受打击啦长时间英语说到吐血导致严重思念母语啦）的双重打击……但是NYC trip, Niagara trip, International dinner, Art museum talk, cogsci talk, library work, psych lab helper..不说有用没有用的，至少是尝试了一些真正想尝试的东西。其实包括被coding虐也算啦。。

A cognitive science talk by someone from U Columbia

Behavioral Immune System
When a chimpanzee is sick, other chimpanzees tend to stay away from it.

The signal detection problem, and the smoke detector principle.
    -- perceptual cues
    -- what if false negative? -- Smoke Detector Principle(Nesse, 2005), false positive is more preferable
The Cost/Benifit Problem
The Functional Flexibility Principle -- Somewhat rely on how the person perceive his vulnerability to disease

Under conditions in which people feel more vulnerable to infection, stronger implicit and explicit prejudice against people with physical disabilities, stronger implicit cognitive associations linking elderly people to disease and other aversive concepts., stronger anti-fat attitudes

Xenophobia and Ethnocentrism

Subjective "foreign-ness" as a disease cue
  -- Exotic pathogens
  -- Violation of cultural rituals and norms which related to hygienes

Preganancy and Prejudice
  The human body is naturally immunosuppressed during the first few weeks of pregnancy
  Are early-term pregnant women more xenopholic? - Apparently so

Origins of Cultural Differences - A hypothesis:
If a behaviroal trait is associated with increased risk of pathogen infection, that trait will be observed at lower levels among people living in places where, historically, infectious diseases have been more prevalent.

"Unresricted" Sexual Attitudes and Behavior
Extraversion
Conformity
Openness to Experience
Percent of Left-Handed People
Individualism/Collectivism
All the above are correlated with the prevalence of pathogen negatively.
But...well, always be skeptical about correlations.

Alternative Explanations?
Reverse causal process
A third variable
"Countries" and "cultures"

A related interesting experiment
A photo of Guns Photos, a photo of infected people
The latter one causes more increase in production of stimulation(IL-6)
