But we live in a society where the weak are compensated by the strong

2018-06-27 11:23:42 UTC  

The weak compensate with other means

2018-06-27 11:23:52 UTC  

Or innovation allows the weak to contribute

2018-06-27 11:24:00 UTC  

Yeah, machines and guns, I suppose

2018-06-27 11:24:00 UTC  

So like prosthetics or tools

2018-06-27 11:24:11 UTC  

But being strong serves the same purpose as before

2018-06-27 11:24:17 UTC  

Which will affect the culture progression

2018-06-27 11:24:27 UTC  

I was just giving it as a example I'm sure there are better examples to prove the point.

2018-06-27 11:24:31 UTC  

So how they treat the weakest/dumbest at the start

2018-06-27 11:24:48 UTC  

It was a good one

2018-06-27 11:24:52 UTC  

Enough

2018-06-27 11:25:09 UTC  

And well, how they progress

2018-06-27 11:25:20 UTC  

Most societys get ahead by discarding the young and weak

2018-06-27 11:25:25 UTC  

Weak young I mean

2018-06-27 11:25:38 UTC  

I think the visual spatial intelligence was a better one because we have maps and other means of navigation.

2018-06-27 11:25:51 UTC  

Well warfare is something common though

2018-06-27 11:25:56 UTC  

With all cultures

2018-06-27 11:26:13 UTC  

Like say, a sharper knife needs less force to deliver the same amount of damage

2018-06-27 11:26:51 UTC  

And well, to defend youself, youd have to learn how to fight, and the different methoids your opponent might use

2018-06-27 11:27:16 UTC  

But all you need now is a gun, an alarm, eyesight and a working hand.

2018-06-27 11:27:27 UTC  

And a brain

2018-06-27 11:28:18 UTC  

Well I've enjoyed this discussion but I have to go to work in the morning.

2018-06-27 11:28:24 UTC  

Ah me too

2018-06-27 11:28:32 UTC  

Good night then.

2018-06-27 11:28:33 UTC  

But you know why I decided to change the topic earlier right?

2018-06-27 11:28:49 UTC  

I was hoping we could discuss it without the emotional investment.

2018-06-27 11:28:54 UTC  

So sorry if it was so abrupt.

2018-06-27 11:29:20 UTC  

Same topic, but in a different manner.

2018-06-27 11:29:35 UTC  

That was probably a good idea.

2018-06-27 11:30:08 UTC  

Well, if it works, id do it again. I had fun and I hope you did too, have a good one.

2018-06-27 11:30:35 UTC  

It was a interesting thoughts experiment.

2018-06-27 11:30:45 UTC  

You too mate.

2018-06-27 13:07:44 UTC  

@Deleted User that's about right. Basically, conform politically. They can't define what to do, only who not to vote for.

2018-06-27 13:19:14 UTC  

I'd ask her further, but she's my girlfriend's best friend and I don't want to piss her off

@Deleted User @GingaBomber

I would counter your claims that innovation makes evolved traits useless.

take of example the internet. Given how easy access to the internet is in most developed worlds (and even in some non-developed worlds) the need to memorize certain info has become near useless. Why do i need to know how to fish when i can just look it up when i need to? However, that doesn't make the process of memorizing or learning stuff useless. Now you use the space in your head that was dedicated to one learned action for remembering how to find the knowledge of several different things when you need them. Visual spatial intelligence is still needed to convert what is on a map into what is in front of them in the real world. People who are bad at navigating are still bad at navigating, even when you give them a GPS. Things are invented and designed to free us up to use those sames faculties in new ways.

2018-06-27 13:43:32 UTC  

Innovation doesn't make evolved traits useless, evolved traits simply result in further innovation.

2018-06-27 13:44:59 UTC  

another example: I am decent at math. not the best but apparently better than most of my classmates. Because i had a calculator to do 2+2 didn't mean i didn't need to know 2+2. it was a speed aid to allow for faster computation of a problem. However for some things, like 2+2, the calculator was slower than just knowing it, or knowing how to calculate it in my head. However, on complex problems, it was additional brain power.

2018-06-27 13:45:59 UTC  

also often times, the presence of a calculator didn't make those classmates actually better at math
