Subtle politics/ideology slipped in

Revisado: 02-27-23

There is a lot of information about the different areas of the brain and their function, but there is also a subtle political slant to this course. Most gullible freshman wouldn’t pick up on it and would go on to repeat this political slant as dogma. In other words, it must be true because this professor said it. For example, she claims that shortly after conception males who have a loss of testosterone at a critical point develop a female brain that can never be changed. She has no evidence of this. There is no way to measure the testosterone level of a zygote without destroying it, and then you would have no way of knowing what their brain developed into. Even if you could, you would have to wait for decades and hope the person donated their brain to science to find out what it developed into. It hasn’t been done in any statistically valid way to prove her claim. The claim that female brains can be changed permanently to male brains by exposure to certain chemicals in utero is even more problematic. If it’s true… then there should be a public effort to eradicate these chemicals to ensure normal development. Try telling that to certain groups in today’s society. Try telling them that their development wasn’t “normal.” Try telling them that they are the way they are because of exposure to a foreign chemical and that we are going to get rid of that chemical to ensure normal development and as a consequence deplete their population.
Like I said; most gullible freshman wouldn’t pick up on the political leanings. They hear a learned professor giving 99% accurate scientific information, and they never pick up on the 1% that is the professor’s ideology.
