(not) my psych mid term paper

Describe three views on neural correlates of human intelligence. Which according to your view is the most plausible?

Neural correlates on human intelligence refers to how our neural co-relates to human intelligence. A simple comparison can be made on the number of letters. Since neural has 6 letters and human intelligence has 20 (i can't really count very well that's why i'm doing psych), we can see no real relationship. Also, a human isn't really intelligent if not he wouldn't have to write this paper because he would know everything.


Even then, we still have to find three views on this bizarre phenomena. Thus we undergo painstaking research to uncover three hidden views on this amazing relationship of neural correlates and human intelligence.

They are namely the side view, the top view, and the cross-sectional view. If we look at it from the side view, 'neural correlates of human intelligence' looks like this

And clearly this isn't a very good view, so we will put this on hold for the time being.

A second view is the top view, more popular than the side view because 'top' has fewer letters than 'side'. Also, 'top' is also a synonym for 'best', thus it lends credibility to its claim to be the best view. Just for illustration's sake, this is what the top view looks like

assuming very skinny letters of course.

And last but definitely not the least, which is what i believe is the best view of them all, is the cross-sectional view.
Now why do we think this is the best view (or rather why I think, and will hence try to make you think so because that's the point of writing such a paper. If I'm just trying to make myself think then I wouldn't be writing a paper, I will be talking to myself, which is what I'm doing in these parenthesis. Now isn't that an interesting word, 'parenthesis'. Doesn't really make any sense how it was formed. Like was it the thesis of some parent? anyway, i better get back to the topic at hand before you get bored)

As i was saying before i was so rudely distracted by my own mind, the cross-sectional view is the best one of them all. Not only does it have the most cool sounding name , it has the word 'cross' in it. Cross of course refers to the christianity, which of course means it is a very holy word.
But of course with a proper dictionary we all know it means (dictionary.com, 2010)
"a section made by a plane cutting anything transversely, esp. at right angles to the longest axis."

Thus if you see a Boeing 707 flying and it cuts a kite into half, at right angles of course, that is a cross section.

So you may ask, what exactly does it look like? of course it looks like this

As we can see, this is clearly the best view of them all, although it looks slightly similar to the side view. This is because this has more space in between them, and we all know that space is the most important thing in the world today due to overcrowding.

In conclusion, I think it is essential we do not just take one view in isolation as that is never good. It is always best to take many views and unite them and get them to sing a song of unity to prove it and look at it on a whole, not as a half.
Thus concludes my brilliant term paper which you will give me full marks for because you are utterly blown away by my spectacular intelligence.
