This question actually came out for the psych MCQ test yesterday.

In purely evolutionary terms, which one would be a measure of your own success as an organism?
a. your intellectual accomplishments
b. the length of your life
c. the number of children you have
d. the contributions that you make to the happiness of humanity

HAHAHAHAHAHA well done, i successfully spotted 1 out of the 100 questions yesterday.

In uni, there's some evil we're-teaching-you-about-life,-kiddos plot which is also called negative marking.

Maybe it's supposed to teach us not to do things that we're not confident of/things that we will fail at, because there will be unpleasant repercussions. Which they efficiently simulate and reinforce that with punishment.

Zzz.

So i left about 10 questions blank, and most of them are technical factual questions about which psychologist did which experiment/which part of the brain has which function, etcetc. HAHA haii obviously didnt study those details thoroughly enough.

Anyway, i came across an interesting quote while reading up for psych paper today.

Oliver Sacks - "If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self - himself - he cannot know it because he is no longer there to know it."

Ah, it's even rather poetic.
