This girl is a genius!

For two reasons, lonelygirl15 is a genius, and you'll likely be hearing about her sooner or later on television or in your local paper:

1) She's a huge youtube success, and of all the successes so far, from sexxiebebe23 to Brookers (who got a production deal from Hollywood), she has the best quality product. In fact, as with all successes on youtube, there are suggestions that she's a faker - that is, she's making videos pretending to be an innocent seductress who really is incapable of seeing that the boy who spends his entire days and nights editing her videos is of course in love with her.

2) She's supposedly a home-schooled bookworm who likes to "inform her viewers" with tidbits of science... and she's a genius. This segment you can click on above was probably ripped straight out of a popularized science book - this one in pariticular, likely Jared Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee - that debunks the myth of the hunter/gatherer.

You see, the idea that men were the conquerers of the wilderness who worked all day to secure dead rodents for their family is bogus. Men certainly did do the hunting, but it was more recreational and didn't produce much actual meat. The earlier civilizations were built on the backs of women, who have always worked an average of two to five times harder than men. The women took care of the children, tended to the earlier domesticated crops (which yielded a lot more actual food than the domesticated animals in most, if not all, parts of the world), and also actually prepared and served the food. Meanwhile, the men sat around shooting the shit with other men, all the while perpetuating the myth that they were working harder.

This has been the plight of women throughout history, getting little credit for doing more work, and I completely respect lonelygirl15 on youtube for educating her immense audience, even if they're simply tooning in to see if she'll talk about sex.
