it is teh nature of ppl

2019-07-10 13:57:57 UTC  

But honestly, what is your diagnoses.

2019-07-10 13:58:06 UTC  

some one sane would not keep this up so long

2019-07-10 13:58:09 UTC  

Which is the same thing as 'the nature of people', no?

2019-07-10 13:58:25 UTC  

i guess you could say that

2019-07-10 13:58:35 UTC  

but when you say of ppl

2019-07-10 13:58:37 UTC  

you generalize

2019-07-10 13:58:46 UTC  

The 'nature of people' would necessitate a given political system, would it not?

2019-07-10 13:58:49 UTC  

when the "ppl" who do the social engineering are but a few

2019-07-10 13:58:53 UTC  

so you are streching it

2019-07-10 13:58:57 UTC  

But they are still people.

2019-07-10 13:59:02 UTC  

sure

2019-07-10 13:59:20 UTC  

with different biological systems then other ppl who are also still ppl

2019-07-10 13:59:38 UTC  

But how is it causally owed to their biology?

2019-07-10 14:00:23 UTC  

If someone says that they're determined by their biology, then so must be the act of them saying that they're determined by their biology.

2019-07-10 14:00:31 UTC  

And the act of them recognising this act, too.

2019-07-10 14:00:54 UTC  

An infinite and paradoxical loop is created.

2019-07-10 14:01:28 UTC  

No biological basis upon which this paradoxical loop or anything like it depends has been isolated.

2019-07-10 14:01:42 UTC  

And it can never be isolated, because it's fundamentally different each time.

2019-07-10 14:01:56 UTC  

Our thoughts accelerate far ahead of our biology.

2019-07-10 14:02:33 UTC  

Biology is not fundamentally differnt each time

2019-07-10 14:02:38 UTC  

are you even ...

2019-07-10 14:02:55 UTC  

Do you know how genetics works

2019-07-10 14:02:57 UTC  

And I agree with you there. I'm saying that biology cannot keep up.

2019-07-10 14:03:06 UTC  

with markers and such being passed on to the offspring

2019-07-10 14:03:12 UTC  

resulting in simular offspring

2019-07-10 14:03:16 UTC  

No gene codes for the paradoxical loop.

2019-07-10 14:03:36 UTC  

That's why I said: "Our thoughts accelerate far ahead of our biology."

2019-07-10 14:03:38 UTC  

Yeah i dont know what you mean by that

2019-07-10 14:03:54 UTC  

you have to explain what your "idea" of of that is

2019-07-10 14:04:29 UTC  

It was all very clear. Thoughts explode into potential infinities, and they can be pushed infinitely further than manipulations of our genes can.

2019-07-10 14:04:43 UTC  

So there is no one-to-one correspondence between genes and thoughts.

2019-07-10 14:04:58 UTC  

In other words, no combinations of genes can be said to cause a certain thought.

2019-07-10 14:05:38 UTC  

This is an entirely different kind of thing. It exists, but it is not a thing which can be understood using biological models.

2019-07-10 14:06:29 UTC  

It's like 'aggression'. You can model something like it using biology, but only a set kind of 'aggression'. One can be 'cruel to be kind' or even 'kind to be cruel', for example.

2019-07-10 14:07:04 UTC  

Such an emotion or way of thinking cannot be wholly fitted into a biological model because it's too vague and too flexible.

2019-07-10 14:07:55 UTC  

You might be able to model brute-force 'aggression', yes, but what about the purposes of this aggression, the uses of such aggression and so on?

2019-07-10 14:08:20 UTC  

What if the most aggressive thing to do is to *not* be 'aggressive' in the usual ways?

2019-07-10 14:09:51 UTC  

Concepts by themselves run away and explode into many things. We must consciously understand what they were like at different times, either in our thoughts, or in terms of concrete history, or both of these.

2019-07-10 14:10:50 UTC  

We can then split these concepts up and differentiate between them. That old 'aggression' is not the same as the new 'aggression', for example.

2019-07-10 14:12:01 UTC  

We already have concepts to describe these kinds of aggression, from passive-aggression to pacifism - but if we didn't have those, we would have no way of appreciating differences between the stages of things which change over time.
