when i nearly stay with the fact and cant be proven wrong

2019-07-12 12:10:22 UTC  

We are getting some where, yes i dont exclude enviormental effects

2019-07-12 12:10:43 UTC  

But do you claim that those effects are also owed to biology?

2019-07-12 12:10:45 UTC  

I have said this what 5 times now

2019-07-12 12:10:54 UTC  

i wonder if you are going to "remeber " it this time

2019-07-12 12:11:05 UTC  

Its both

2019-07-12 12:11:11 UTC  

how are you not getting that it is both

2019-07-12 12:11:19 UTC  

why are you so black and white

2019-07-12 12:11:29 UTC  

dont you have the ability to not think in absolutes?

2019-07-12 12:11:50 UTC  

Nice dodge. Are 'environmental' factors owed to biological factors?

2019-07-12 12:11:59 UTC  

All the sources i have posted , state that it is both

2019-07-12 12:12:03 UTC  

Do biological factors *cause* environmental factors?

2019-07-12 12:12:12 UTC  

in cludeing the beaver one that you strawmen`ed

2019-07-12 12:12:19 UTC  

yes

2019-07-12 12:12:26 UTC  

Then you are a biological determinist.

2019-07-12 12:12:43 UTC  

So if biological factors cause environmental factors, then that would cover all human actions?

2019-07-12 12:12:49 UTC  

iff your parrents have a predisposition because of their biological atributes they create a envirorment for teh child

2019-07-12 12:13:03 UTC  

biology creates the enviorment

2019-07-12 12:13:04 UTC  

And what about the actions of others?

2019-07-12 12:13:12 UTC  

siomething which you have been saying as well 😄

2019-07-12 12:13:13 UTC  

Including you and me?

2019-07-12 12:13:22 UTC  

and now you are arguing against me for having that stance

2019-07-12 12:13:27 UTC  

I didn't actually say that 'biology creates the environment'.

2019-07-12 12:13:31 UTC  

Nice straw man.

2019-07-12 12:13:39 UTC  

No it isnt a strawmen,

2019-07-12 12:14:03 UTC  

you u abnd me includiong ? wtf are you talking about, what is this vague on the person line of bullshit ?

2019-07-12 12:14:35 UTC  

Our actions have effects on other people, and they can contribute to effects on many more people than we think.

2019-07-12 12:14:50 UTC  

That's why I brought up the 'Butterfly effect'.

2019-07-12 12:15:07 UTC  

So your actions must also be owed to biology.

2019-07-12 12:15:43 UTC  

If so, you must be purely acting in accordance with you biology, and you can say that you know this. You have to be able to explain how this is correct.

2019-07-12 12:16:14 UTC  

And you have to know everything about yourself to do that since determinism involves a claim that *everything* is determined by something else - some force or another.

2019-07-12 12:17:22 UTC  

But at the moment that you try to model yourself, you have to account for you modelling yourself, and you have to fit this action of yours into the model of yourself.

2019-07-12 12:17:40 UTC  

And you have to account for that action of making this new model of yourself.

2019-07-12 12:17:46 UTC  

And so on.

2019-07-12 12:18:14 UTC  

This process can go on forever, but if you stop it at any point, you're left with a 'shit I don't know'.

2019-07-12 12:19:06 UTC  

You've already changed; if you can't account for that new change in your brand-new model, then how can you say that you're fully determined by something?

2019-07-12 12:19:27 UTC  

How come every time you make this judgement, you find something else which is a direct result of you thinking about this - something that you've never thought before?

2019-07-12 12:20:14 UTC  

You can keep saying that it's biology but something else will just pop out.

2019-07-12 13:05:31 UTC  

**In short: for biological determinism to be true, everyone including you must be biologically-determined, but you must prove this by showing that all possible actions that you and others make are owed to biology - but you cannot do this because you would have to be dealing with an explodingly-infinite amount of things which escape your reach simply because you've been thinking about this in the first place.**

2019-07-12 13:06:56 UTC  

**Given this and your inclusion in society, you therefore cannot explain how we think through biological models or through any model which does not include us as thinking, self-determining forces.**

2019-07-12 13:09:46 UTC  

***It means that the way in which you approach politics and economics is fundamentally missing what we are - you are instead opting to focus on frozen understanding of ourselves which you take as being representative of ourselves.***
