You need experience - i.e. to practically relate to things - to understand things, yes. That can partially come from reading a book, and partially from doing something. Different things require different learning methods.

But it does not take the same time to master the same things.

Without reading you can't train abstractions so well

And those same roles change too.

We need into abstractions

'not in one's nature'

Then that nature can be changed.

Psychiatrists and drug prescribers do this all the fucking time.

they dont change it

they destroy or supress it

most of the ""mental problems" are instincts misfiring in our socity that has no place for them

Upon what grounds do they 'destroy' that nature?

lobotomy

>he thinks that this is the current state of psychiatry

how is pumping some one full of drugs compare to increasing ability ?

or even proving that you can change the gentic potential

Why do you think people use caffeine so much?

It's been shown to boost awareness.

I could pull out many more things that might do so too.

Genetics and cypertechnology work well together

Still only to the biological limit of the being taking the caffiene

Why not alter?

Is a capability

Why did you bring 'muh biological limits' back into this?

when you add inplants its no longer a biological being

Something you can do

Then we're not reducible to our biologies.

we are tho

Look at us with our hip implants.

Our dental implants.

Our unnatural chemicals.

nature always arrises when nurture or suppresion goes away

No shit, Sherlock.

that doesnt anhaces ppl to a higher level

The point is to extend our nurture.

We may do more abilities and virtues if so wish.

the runing bouncy legs do make you a little faster to

but you are no longer a biological being

and you cant increase some ones genetic potential

Then you admit that we're not reducible to biological beings.

we are m, because even with the spring legs you have ppl who will run faster with them then others
