kleinwolf Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I sometimes fell about the uncomfortable thought that since blood groups appeared, that statistics could show a link between blood and wealth or mentality. Suppose this were in some sense right, and that a couple forms, in which a partner had a "stronger" blood, that the other would be beaten, in some sense. Or that for example depending on the blood distribution in a family, the oedipus complex could be increased or decreased. Do you have any idea about this.

Mokele Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Is there any actual data supporting this claims, or just the usual speculation and rumor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The post is just an extension of this topic where no evidence was shown but a distinct lack of understanding about blood groups was. It might be a good idea to actually research and understand the topic before coming up with crackpot hypothesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonY Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So a case for pseudoscience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake.com Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So a case for pseudoscience? sounds like it. I like the theory, but it will definitely cause some serious controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleinwolf Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 If we imagine an experience with blood-type as doubly hidden variable (blood is hidden in the body and heart, and we don't tell the blood type), like a classroom where only 1 individual of A blood in a group of O people, that this will have so tiny influence, that it will probably remain unnoticeable, even after a hundreds of experiments, and even if the blood-type were set as a simply hidden variable (we say the person blood group), I found no references for this, and Probably that there will be no remarkable influence of this hidden variable.

Mokele Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There are no references because it's silly. Blood type does not affect *anything* beyond who you can get transfusions and organs from. Can you even suggest a mechanism which would allow it to affect the mind? No, there's no possible way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There are no references because it's silly. not that I disagree, but this: I sometimes fell about the uncomfortable thought that since blood groups appeared, that statistics could show a link between blood and wealth or mentality. Is probably the case. Which blood-type is most common varies by geographic region, as does wealth; hence, there's probably a coincidental link between blood-type and wealth.

Glider Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 True, plus there are the differences in the proportions of the population who carry any particular type (O+ 38% A+ 34% B+ 9% O- 7% A- 6% AB+ 3% B- 2% AB-1%). The Japanese hold a popular view that personality is related to blood type, but then a significant proportion of the British read their horoscopes.

Dak Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Stumbled across this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12001052?dopt=Abstract via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus blood grouping can affect susceptability to at least one virus, so there's a possible mechanism there (maybe it increases susceptability to a mind-degrading virus ). Still think the idea's silly tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
