My name is.00:00:36JackJack and.00:00:37JackI'm here with my co-host social and today we are doing another quick chat episode and today's quick chat question is.00:00:45JackDo you believe in?00:00:46JackThe idea that blood type gives us information about our personalities.00:00:55JackSo. So. So what do you think about?00:00:56XochitlThat I think that there's gonna be more than like 6 basic personalities.00:01:06XochitlWhich I'm not sure. I think there are, like 6:00-ish blood types like AB A/B O and negative positive blah blah. But anyway there is a very limited amount of blood types.00:01:19XochitlAnd I think there are way more personalities.00:01:24XochitlThen there are blood types. I also think our personalities tend to be variable depending on the situation bit and the atmosphere that we're in and the people we're interacting with or the people that were around people are extremely complex and multifaceted. And I think a lot of these things like blood type or astrology.00:01:46XochitlDepend on very generic statements that can be applied to many types of people and ultimately you will agree.00:01:57XochitlWith that, in some fashion of.00:01:58XochitlYour life, someone might say.00:02:01XochitlOh, social, I can see here by your blood type that you're really hard worker and I can sit there and be like I don't know.00:02:07XochitlThat doesn't really describe me.00:02:10XochitlBut like.00:02:11JackOr like you're, you know, people with B blood type are indecisive.00:02:18JackIt's like everybody's indecisive sometimes.00:02:18발표자Right.00:02:22XochitlYes, exactly or.00:02:24XochitlThey're yeah, just things that are variable. Like Ohh, you're a really positive person. Well, it depends. People describe me as positive a lot. And I would agree with that. But it depends for anyone what point they are in their life. You know sometimes we get hit with the number of trials and tribulations.00:02:47XochitlOur listeners who are unfamiliar tribulations are basically the same things as trials, which is just hardships. You know that you need to overcome, and after a certain amount of time, anyone is going to face a downward slump. You know, not everyone can be positive all the time. No one can be +100% of the time.00:03:05XochitlAnd no one's going to be -100% of the time.00:03:10XochitlSo yeah when it.00:03:11XochitlComes to personality. I think there are very few absolute truths and that's why I think that the blood type.00:03:19XochitlThing it just really it's too narrow to really be applied with any certainty to peoples personality.00:03:28JackYeah, I think our personality is part of our our brain. I mean really because if you look at like some studies and things like that, there are people who have had a traumatic brain injury.00:03:28XochitlHow about you, Jack?00:03:44JackAnd it changed their personality.00:03:46JackThey went from being a happy person to being.00:03:50JackA sad person or from being a sad person to being a happy person and you.00:03:56JackKnow. Sorry, no, go ahead.00:03:57발표자Sorry, go ahead.00:03:59XochitlI was just going to say a lot of times it turns people like really aggressive, especially if they have like an injury to the prefrontal.00:04:07JackCortex, someone who used.00:04:10JackTo be kind of kind of reserved or restrained to have a lot of self-control all of a sudden they lose that and they become.00:04:21JackAnd violence and things like that. And those are all aspects of personality. And I so I think the personality is really a part of the brain structure, not nothing to do with the.00:04:34JackBlood type. So I would say it's kind of.00:04:40JackMaybe like?00:04:41Jack100 years ago.00:04:42JackOr when you.00:04:43JackWeren't as sophisticated scientifically as we are now, obviously, so they made assumptions that like, ohh, a people with a blood are this way and people with B blood are this way. It probably made sense to them at the time.00:04:59JackBut now it's just.00:05:01JackWhat we call an English pseudo science, it's fake science, not real science, and it's I really don't believe in it at all. I don't care what a.00:05:12JackPerson's blood type.00:05:13JackIs. I don't think it gives me any information about their personality. I'm more interested in how they behave.00:05:22JackA person's behavior tells me more about their personality than than any blood type could ever tell me.00:05:30XochitlRight, I'm not a.00:05:34XochitlI don't even know what my blood type is, so yeah, and I think if I like looked it up, I'm sure that there would be things that I could agree with about myself, but.00:05:36JackRight. Me neither, you know.00:05:47XochitlYeah, it is pseudoscience, basically, and I think it's interesting because it's not just physical traumatic brain injuries.00:05:54XochitlBut also a lot of like trauma that can happen that, like emotional injuries really change the way you think and behave. So they actually see big differences in the development and the form and shape of brains that have undergone undergone a lot of trauma.00:06:15XochitlSo people with like CPTSD, which is complex PTSD, their pathways are essentially triggered into fight or flight much more quickly. And I think they're like decision making process.00:06:28XochitlIs fundamentally altered for life because, like the prefrontal cortex, which.00:06:34XochitlIs what a lot of your decisions are based on. I know I'm absolutely butchering this and someones going like you don't.00:06:39XochitlKnow what the heck you should think it's true.00:06:41XochitlBut gonna from some stuff that I read, from what I remember, I'll say it that way. Feel free to correct me in a comment.00:06:49XochitlDown below.00:06:51XochitlOur decision making is is a lot heavily based on the prefrontal cortex and people with trauma in their life, like emotional trauma and scarring, have effects their prefrontal cortex that makes decision making more difficult for them and impulse control more difficult for them later in life.00:07:10XochitlSo I agree with.00:07:11XochitlJack, I think a lot of our personality is.00:07:15XochitlUpbringing, genetics and it really comes down to like our brain and maybe our biology on some point. But it not, you know, not.00:07:24XochitlOur blood type.00:07:26JackYeah, no, I I totally agree with that. Yeah, it's not a blood type, but it it could. It's definitely our experiences when we're children, when we're teenagers, when we're adults, it's also genetics. Our how our parents, our personalities are affects, what a personality.00:07:45JackPersonality traits that we have. So yeah, I mean, I just think it's very complicated and that like blood type is just a very simple way to look at it. They're like, hey, people are nice, but B people are rude and old people are strange, but AB people are normal. I mean, it's just very.00:08:00XochitlRight.00:08:05JackIt's so simplistic. It's just really silly.00:08:08JackJust silly.00:08:09XochitlRight, right. So if you have something similar in your culture, I would actually be really interested to hear about peoples experiences and their culture like in Korea. Blood type is a thing in the West. We have a strong.00:08:24XochitlEnergy. And I'm really curious about other countries. What do you guys use? Do you also use some form of astrology? Do you use blood type? Do you use like some other kind of traits, physical or spiritual or whatever to dictate peoples?00:08:44XochitlPersonalities or to you know, incase people in certain personalities. I'm very interested to know.
