Talking: girls vs boys
Seems rather biological than social, especially if hormones are a factor. It could've been social if others communicated with baby girls somewhat differently than with baby boys, but is it so?

Question about planetary gravity
Ethnically, no, I'm not.

Question about planetary gravity
Yes, certainly. But, (As I said above to Saber, )

Question about planetary gravity
I am very sorry to hear that. BTW, I was born and grew up in your vicinity, in Baku, Azerbaijan. That was many years ago, though. Good luck.

Talking: girls vs boys
Yes, here is the conclusion of the review article linked by @iNow above (Sex differences in early communication development: behavioral and neurobiological indicators of more vulnerable communication system development in boys - PMC (nih.gov)

Talking: girls vs boys
A different study. Interesting reading. Certainly. If not structural dimorphism, what these differences in development are attributed to? Gene activations, chemistry?
-
Talking: girls vs boys
I only started reading this: and saw references to the differences in other communication skills and behavior. Are there other areas of such differences, not related to the communication?
-
Talking: girls vs boys
Is it supported by evidence that girls usually start talking earlier than boys? (It was clearly so in my children.)

Weight change trick
To all concerned. I've used Google translate to check how English posts in this thread read in Russian and how the OP translated posts could've looked originally in Russian. Unfortunately, the pragmatics of the posts are mostly lost both ways. IMHO, this kind of discussion does not make any sense.

Evidently it is a translation error. I did not say this. And I don't know what it means.

Question about planetary gravity
In what way? By affecting properties of the material? Then it does not count Or something else?

Plastic human mind (Split from Modeling the psychic space)
Yes, I agree with all this. It explains correlation between age and chances of changing one's beliefs. It does not show a correlation between age and ability to change beliefs. Yes, it does. 1. Are career politicians or businessmen or religious leaders, a representative sample? 2. I don't have the data. 3. Not very rare, I think. Moshe Dayan, Putin, Sakharov, etc. 4. Even if it does not happen often, where is a correlation with age? I mean, it does not happen often in any age, then.

What does make you think that ability to change one's beliefs decreases with age?

All Particles Must Have 3 Types of Mass. [WRONG!]
I thought it is rather a pure state (as opposed to a mixed state), but not an eigen state. Is it correct?
-
All Particles Must Have 3 Types of Mass. [WRONG!]
May I suggest a correction? Three versions of every fermion rather than every particle.
-
Question about planetary gravity
@Saber, can you think of any other physical effect that could affect the process you've described? (Even if it is purely theoretical and does not occur in practice.)
-
Question about planetary gravity
Without rotation and other affecting bodies, the outcome depends on 3 factors: material of the planet, mass of the planet, and time. Any other?
-
All Particles Must Have 3 Types of Mass. [WRONG!]
The line of comments above brought memories of this sketch:
-
Question about planetary gravity
If the material of the planet is fluid, yes.

Reflections on science
For sport. Science is the best sport I know. It's a team sport. Humans vs. Nature. Learning science is like watching your favorite game, and doing science is like taking part in it. Of course, it does. It keeps discovering new 'tricks' of the Nature and keeps coming up with its own 'tricks.' It gets more and more interesting. Nonstop and not slowing down. If it is not your favorite sport, look for another. This is not true.

Two Tribes?
Like Seth, I also had 1 of each. By the age of 3 they were just two very different persons. So different in so many respects, that there is no way, I think, to ascribe any specific differences to their genders.

Modeling the psychic space
No, it is not, but it also is a space of system states. Just playing on your "psychic space" term. I meant a couple of psychology related courses. I've seen his movies.
-
Plastic human mind (Split from Modeling the psychic space)
I disagree with this. For example, when it comes to memory, which is part of cognition. Or ability to learn foreign languages. I know that you were referring to beliefs, but they are only a small part of a cognitive level, I think. Also, ability to change beliefs varies.

Modeling the psychic space
Perhaps there are, like 2% success is more than 1%. I don't think so, based on what I've learned. I never heard this term in the "psychic" classes I took. Also I'm not sure what it means. Something akin phase space of a mechanical system? I used to like that theory a lot in my teens. Loved his experiments. However, later I learned that his methodology was quite weak - small samples, poor reproducibility. I don't think the theory is in use today (but I may be wrong, of course.)
