and you're just calling them aptitudes

if you have an apptitude for math or for athletics.....

these are genetic

an erection does however meet the definition of behaviour

but that just increases the likelihood you will gravitate towards these things and ADOPT certain behaviours that you learn

MA, if you don't believe in innate behavior, then why would you ever disagree with the postmodernist IntFems who say that human beings are deterministic programmable blank slates? <:Pepe_of_akkad:462279833511264257>

those are completely unrelated

false equivolency

not really

in fact, IF behaviour was GENETIC, THEN this WOULD support determinism

I think we can draw a line between genetic behaviours that manifest themselves without conscious effort, and learned behaviours which require input and deliberation

it's in fact the exact opposite

I don't think *all* behaviour is genetic

I'd say some is

Except I never claimed all behavior was innate

Fight or flight

it's only deterministic if it fits whatever toxic narrative toilet paper degrees spit out for relevancy...

I think the learned behaviour would be built on top of how we behave naturally

the problem is that you cannot FALSIFY behaviour being genetic rather than learned

this is why it is bad science

If anything, just the opposite. That sexual preferences are the byproduct of adaptation to environment

I mean if your afraid something’s gonna kill ya I would say fight or flight is genetic

you can just as easily learn behaviour that 'fits your apptitude' as you can inherit those behaviours

If mother nature said we needed sperm, egg, and a third thing to copulate, we'd have three genders instead of two, since that's what the environment would dictate and the evolution of our genes would follow that.

I'm sorry I'm just failing to see how aptitude isn't just a fancy word for defining genetic behaviours here

and because the same behaviour does NOT result from the same stimulus, it is highly subjective

But it leads to the same result lol

You get X and Y and create kid

You see bad thing and you do X or Y action

To run or fight

Is smiling innate or learned

Smiling is innate

genetics does not encapsulate behaviour; instinct, yes. but NOT behaviour

Given that you can trigger smiling via electrodes, I'd say it's innate

Children blind from birth smile

they've never seen one

but still do it

That’s what I thought

Yes nothing encapsulates behavior entirely

Semantics. You're basically saying behavior is what happens when instinct meets stimulus.
