First, 'biology' is not just about genetics, so you're moving the goalposts.

2019-07-17 09:48:48 UTC  

Secondly, *you said biology creates the environment*, __but you did not give any other factors that also did this__.

2019-07-17 09:49:57 UTC  

**Nevertheless, it could still leave human action and subjectivity out of the picture...**

2019-07-17 09:50:09 UTC  

That's twice that you've just moved the goalposts.

2019-07-17 09:51:53 UTC  

*What you're saying now is much more true, but it dodges the point again, because we don't need to talk about human subjectivity in order to model how biological entities interact with things like sunlight and wind - but we must do this with human actions because we need to account for our own actions too.*

2019-07-17 09:52:45 UTC  

**I want you to prove that human action doesn't affect the 'environment'.**

2019-07-17 09:53:25 UTC  

```"You kept saying that biology is the sole cause of human action,"
I never said this
Even more so becauise i know what human actaully means
and if you are following your biology you are not human :smile:```

2019-07-17 09:54:34 UTC  

Which means that human action is caused by something else as well. My position is that human action *can and often does cause and determine itself*.

2019-07-17 09:56:51 UTC  

Furthermore, if you work with this notion that if I'm following my biology I'm not human, then that means that your politics doesn't have to exist at all. If *other* determining factors require biological factors to stop controlling people so much, then what prevents them from bypassing familiar biological structures?

2019-07-17 09:58:31 UTC  

**Capital does this all the time! Big Pharma corporations have built hulking empires out of the need to use drugs to stay productive and superficially happy.**

```You keep using these words and terms you dont know the meaning of
Read samual Johnsons works```

2019-07-17 10:00:44 UTC  

Dr Johnson was writing centuries ago, and the definitions of various things like 'gender' and 'race' have themselves changed in academic literature.

2019-07-17 10:01:42 UTC  

Reading his works alone will not do me any good. Nor would going to a bunch of unspecialised dictionaries, for that matter.

2019-07-17 10:03:38 UTC  

```If you change the fgense you do this by adding different ones, this is stil biological determinism
?The amount of chemicals you can pump in to someone are limited, this limit is set by the existing biological structure.
You claim that i have amnesia because you dont remeber all the things you keep dodging```

2019-07-17 10:06:06 UTC  

Again: what determined the decision to decide that? And what social structures determined and influenced this?

2019-07-17 10:06:39 UTC  

```i brought in that wiki as you wree unable to keep state and government seperate, i clearyfied your wrong assumtions.
Remeber that misunderstanding you had was caused because you did not know the pam meme of they are the same picture :smile:
```

2019-07-17 10:07:00 UTC  

***Except I was keeping them separate right from the start.***

2019-07-17 10:09:03 UTC  

This is just distracting us from the fact that Obama was never real

You acknowledged that I literally put a whopping great divide between the two.

2019-07-17 10:11:49 UTC  

***Your argument was in fact that they were 'mostly the same'.***

2019-07-17 10:14:33 UTC  

In fact, your argument was that governments are examples of states - which was a terminological quirk which didn't capture the essence of what I was saying and the Marxist take on how 'states' are actually more specific things than 'governments'. ***That was my focus all along and you went and used your own to dodge that.***

2019-07-17 10:16:54 UTC  

__***You brought in that page to say that I was using the terms wrong when not only did the Wikipedia pages fail to back up your assertion there, but the whole exercise ignored the actual distinctions that I was making between the terms which I was using to argue that your understanding of Communism is not only false but is an expression of third-positionist politics.***__

2019-07-17 10:17:35 UTC  

```Lol, the observer effect ? you are claiming that your biologic nature chages in a substancial way because of the observer effect?
we are not talking quantum mechanics here you know :smile:```

2019-07-17 10:17:52 UTC  

Straw man. I didn't say that the biological model changed.

2019-07-17 10:19:44 UTC  

Nor did I say that *the biology itself* changed. I said that not only would the old biological model be unfit for the purpose of wholly describing human action, but that no biological model could account for this change. What's more, one is always ahead of one's understandings of oneself, so there is no way that one can describe themselves to be wholly determined by anything besides themselves at a present moment.

2019-07-17 10:20:37 UTC  

***It's about one's inability to escape the picture of the world that they're talking about, not about any quantum observer effect.***

2019-07-17 10:23:37 UTC  

(Ignore the line of hyphens, they're not disappearing on my end.) It's nothing to do with an external thing towards which we have no relation changing with our observation. It's about trying to keep up with ourselves. As subjects, we think, therefore we change. *This includes you.*

```What makes you think that kratom is bad ? Are you aware your body has natural receptors for alkaloids ?
```

2019-07-17 10:26:06 UTC  

Your guess is terrible. I didn't say that it was 'bad', I said that messing around and taking excessive doses is going to lead to unwanted side effects.

2019-07-17 10:26:48 UTC  

```Data on 27,338 overdose deaths that occurred during July 2016–December 2017 were entered into SUDORS, and 152 (0.56%) of these decedents tested positive for kratom on postmortem toxicology (kratom-positive). Postmortem toxicology testing protocols were not documented and varied among and within states. Kratom was determined to be a cause of death (i.e., kratom-involved) by a medical examiner or coroner for 91 (59.9%) of the 152 kratom-positive decedents, including seven for whom kratom was the only substance to test positive on postmortem toxicology, although the presence of additional substances cannot be ruled out (4).
And these deaths came from the slowing of breathing if i reambere
you see , you seem to imply that i dont source or that i only look at wikipedia of which i know that any one can fill in their biased bullshit
which is why the argument used by garbage relating to biological determinism opposition was easily refuted
7 out of 27.338 deaths
i like those ods
besides this is from overdosing :smile:```

2019-07-17 10:27:09 UTC  

Notice how you focussed only on *the deaths*, which is just ONE side effect.

2019-07-17 10:29:45 UTC  

Nice dodge of the second article too.

2019-07-17 10:30:33 UTC  

***But both of these are irrelevant because neither talk about your specific case. Again: __how much did you take__?***

2019-07-17 10:32:22 UTC  

Penultimately, have a present from @/me since you blocked the guy.

2019-07-17 10:32:46 UTC  

"I tend to talk about whatever you brought up last. But this time...
first off, I never use just one source. wiki is ok; people like me do our best to make sure it's accurate by doing this thing called "citing sources". In spite of that, even people like @/Offender can edit it. I did start there, however; that's where I copied the spelling of Mitragynine from. I also used places like the FDA's website, erowid's vault, a comparison check across Johns-Hopkins, web-md, and one other site. I rarely use the same 3rd site, a random 3rd opinion. I avoid sites that are selling things, because they may simply want to sell kratom, and since a business can lie, I usually assume they do, at least in part. see, this process is called "research". now, I know that's a long word for you; but it's important, because doing research is what keeps me from making a tea out of the more poisonous members of the nightshade family and offering them for sale to idiots like you as some tonic to help your mind. and no; I'm not leaving any time soon. You are free to kill yourself as you see fit. I can't stop you, and I'm not sure I would if I could. But you are lying to people and endangering them. no, I'm not some "self-appointed guardian of the system"; I'm just some one who has noticed you are a selfish prick. I love, as Garbage has said, beating on such as you with words."

2019-07-17 10:34:53 UTC  

***But lastly:***

2019-07-17 10:36:37 UTC  

***__Look at the little Offender, trying to keep up, spewing out another wall of text (except it's not, it's magically a large paragraph!) while he says that he hasn't read half of what I've typed. So maybe I can assume that most of what he says is bulllshit since he doesn't even know how to understand my arguments.__***

2019-07-17 10:39:58 UTC  

***And yet his politics can't be justified by the escapes that he's made. At the moment that human subjectivity and control seeps into his worldview, his politics begins to look shaky because none of it is justified with regards to this (which is why his focus is on biological constructs and processes).***

2019-07-17 10:41:18 UTC  

***__'Why do you want to kill people and their gods?' he asks when I talk about murdering gods rather than about murdering people in order to establish a politicisation of the commons of reasoning which exists between us. He doesn't want this commons at all, he thinks it's impossible enough for him to actively deny that it should exist.__***
