Blood influence in matching

[kleinwolf]

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.

Is there any actual data supporting this claims, or just the usual speculation and rumor?

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.

So a case for pseudoscience?

So a case for pseudoscience?

 

sounds like it. I like the theory, but it will definitely cause some serious controversy.

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]

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.

not that I disagree, but this:

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.

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.

Stumbled across this:

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.
