Mostly I just want to wear an awesome space rock.

Thanks!

I had a question about black diamonds, since your company appears to sell them.

Some black diamonds are from a fucking meteor that came from a supernova how fucking cool is that, but I've also found "black diamonds" online that appear to be fake: either not diamonds or something else. Is there any way to make sure you're buying the real extraterrestrial thing?

I'd just like to apologize in advance, since there's no better way to get a reddit circlehatejerk going than to bring up diamonds, since a bunch of people watch videos like these and think they're factual.

So far, we've found three hundred genes for mental retardation and zero genes for above-average intelligence

But isn't there a strong genetic component to intelligence? Don't twin and adoption studies indicate that children are more likely to match their biological parents' IQs than that of their adoptive parents?

I actually agree with your overall premise; I went to an art school and saw lots of students who had already decided that since they were good at art, that meant they were bad at math, and that was the end of it.

I would imagine that identical twins raised apart would be a scientific data treasure trove, and it's probably not very common. Have you been approached to be in any studies?
