Nah, it's probably a dead end like the neaderthals

@EnderOctanus I make guesses

I don't pretend to know how the human mind words I've come to realize that it's an enigma beyond my limted reasoning capacity.

Self assurance isn't inherently bad, but using it as a way to look down upon others usually is what we fight against in the first place.

He doesn't like the idea of communities helping each other, and doesn't feel that evolutionary drive to not be the dick who mooches.

Most behavior is genetic. Thus, an abberation

how deep do you belive these genes go in determining behavior.

Very

They go very deep ^

80% of IQ is genetic, most of our genome is for our brains

Then there are humans with genes that are socially undesirable?

Yeah

Like you

and now for the slam dunk question. do you believe in free will?

That is a slippery slope.

Lol

Genetically gay <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

Yep, I believe in free will. Our processes are like a series of subroutines for many situations, but the uncharted territory between those situations is where we have free will

I suppose violent pathology is indeed undesirable. But you will weed that out, and then what will you cut out?

Hey now, you're the one advocating for Eugenics right now lol

I'm not.

Oh okay

legit congrats you've headed off my argument at the pass and given me something to think on.

Cool

I think people can be predisposed to certain behaviors, such as rapists and murderers, but we cannot make assumptions until they perform the act, otherwise we fall into precrime and thought policing. Purity tests.

I think it is sensible to offer psychological aid to them, but you cannot force help.

sure some people could maybe be genetically predisposed to be more violent. I dunno I havent read up. But it dosent really matter that much. We're humans and we can control ourselves @EnderOctanus

And if they cant control themselves we've got psychologists n shi

also I agree

I'm not questioning whether or not we can control ourselves, I am recognizing that some behaviors are less voluntary and more xumplusive for some than for others. And offering support before they commit the crime could benefit everyone. But at the same time, going past that point is incredibly dangerous as it removes human agency from the equation.

we should assign people their roles at birth

someone will be a scientist

and someone will be a street cleaner

that way

there will be no strife

You are not guilty until you actually commit the crime.

everyone will know their place

*YEAH SCIENCE*

and we should do it by race

and gender
