But we live in a society where the weak are compensated by the strong
The weak compensate with other means
Or innovation allows the weak to contribute
Yeah, machines and guns, I suppose
So like prosthetics or tools
But being strong serves the same purpose as before
Which will affect the culture progression
I was just giving it as a example I'm sure there are better examples to prove the point.
So how they treat the weakest/dumbest at the start
It was a good one
Enough
And well, how they progress
Most societys get ahead by discarding the young and weak
Weak young I mean
I think the visual spatial intelligence was a better one because we have maps and other means of navigation.
Well warfare is something common though
With all cultures
Like say, a sharper knife needs less force to deliver the same amount of damage
And well, to defend youself, youd have to learn how to fight, and the different methoids your opponent might use
But all you need now is a gun, an alarm, eyesight and a working hand.
Well I've enjoyed this discussion but I have to go to work in the morning.
Ah me too
Good night then.
But you know why I decided to change the topic earlier right?
I was hoping we could discuss it without the emotional investment.
So sorry if it was so abrupt.
Same topic, but in a different manner.
That was probably a good idea.
Well, if it works, id do it again. I had fun and I hope you did too, have a good one.
It was a interesting thoughts experiment.
You too mate.
@Deleted User that's about right. Basically, conform politically. They can't define what to do, only who not to vote for.
I'd ask her further, but she's my girlfriend's best friend and I don't want to piss her off

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.
Innovation doesn't make evolved traits useless, evolved traits simply result in further innovation.
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.
also often times, the presence of a calculator didn't make those classmates actually better at math
