and there are clearly predispositions

And ability.

*cough* easily varifiable *cough*

Exactly.

So, when someone continues to try to use tabula rasa as a premise for real practice, it tells me they are not aligned with reality.

Now, I'll happily go through the mental exercise of tabula rasa as a hypothetical premise.

Because that's actually how you science.

You take a guess, work out where that would take you, and then compare to reality.

The easiest way to disprove it is to find something that clearly doesn't align with the premise

That is scientific

That's exactly how you disprove any theory...

yep

And it's not necessarily easy nor does it invalidate the whole theory.

*hypothesis, not theory

Depends on how important it is in the theory

Since we're talking science, those two have distinct meanings.

Like for example, disproving the Tabula Rasa theory is easy if you operate on the premise

But then you find out that certain metrics are wildly different

Well, we have the ammunition now. Handily.

But for a while, we didn't.

*COUGH* *COUGH* IQ data *COUGH* *COUGH*

That's not a part of tabula rasa.

tabula rasa is blank slate, which means you can program everything into a person

not "everyone is equal at birth"

The blank slate means that the programming is applied and accepted though

I mean its unrelated

Yes

The personality traits, now best defined by Big 5, vary between men and women let alone individuals.

But certain aspects of IQ contribute to disproving the Rasa

We know this. It's statistical fact. Instantly means that tabula rasa isn't true because this means there's already firm coding.

An easy to spot one is gender

Hormones are easily one of the biggest examples

The major trend of different agreeableness and different neuroticism by gender alone is enough to disprove tabula rasa.

In light of that clear evidence, to claim that tabula rasa is real is objectively disconnected from reality.

And I can't abide being disconnected from reality.

Test scores rating brain development are different even among those among the same race

there is high variability

anyways

yeah

The Rasa is garbage

and needs to be thrown away
