The Journal of Genetic Rationalization
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted February 1, 2008 in DNA Fun
The Journal of Genetic Rationalization by Mike S. Adams is horribly un-PC but may get a chuckle out of you this Friday. Here’s a tidbit about the “overspending gene.”
The Overspending Gene.
Overspending is a compulsion that brings many unwanted consequences. Among those consequences are debts, which, when incurred in college, cause a person to be less desirable to members of the opposite sex who are seeking marriage partners. This study shows that debt also varies positively with a woman’s likelihood of seeking an abortion. Furthermore, the present study shows that, today, more and more people are getting into deeper debt. The Darwinian implications of these findings are ignored altogether. It is concluded that debt is a condition no one would choose freely. Hence, the present study argues for the existence of an overspending gene. Future research is encouraged in order to find some actual evidence for such a gene.
