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

I expected myself to be more libertarian, though.

I identify as a "small L libertarian"

But lets be honest no one intelligent subscribes to the Rasa

Maybe youre like me and you're so fed up with people you get sick of shit

Thats basically the cycle of libertarianism

lol

@YuriBezmenov See, I think people with high Intelligence but low Wisdom do.

Because it makes a decent premise from which they can spring forward and control/manipulate their environment.

Thats actually a pretty good point you make

That they meet such spectacular failure time and again points to the lack of Wisdom.

I mean, if you put 600 horsepower in a car and then drive it into a wall v. putting 600 horsepower into a car and sticking to the freeways, you're going to get very different results.
