Thereby they can grow unlike most humans
They possess *mind*, in the Aristotelean sense.
A rare faculty amongst the mass.
So, when I'm generous I consider all those to be proto-humans
@WWM can you grow with only a bias forcing you
not the urge to think
what
Can we grow with bias forcing us?
Rather than the positive impetus to think?
yes
not to entertain other thoughts
whatever, I was (mostly) just joking
So, bias being tradition, cultural impositions, etc?
yes
and I say mostly because I believe there is a small amount of cope in there
lol
instinct too
is that a bad thing?
The answer is no.
If that's the *only* thing driving you, no
You will stay in that box
But what if it's a really big box tho
But
Actually
because id actually vouch for people having a bias
because it shows they care in a way
that they want to utilize science and not just make more of it
or philosophy
If we think to the early days of the Church, in its confronting Islam, we actually see how the formulations the Church fathers came up with to defend Christian dogma and policy *in the face of Muslim denial of revelation* actually helped lead to the Renaissance.
But
Those Fathers, from a defensive mode for sure, did strive outward towards new thought.
das gud, mang
So you can strive outwards into new thought from a defensive rather than exploratory disposition.
But what if you just innovate your new thought constantly
I know
into something better and better
just be aware of why you're on here
and not other thoughts
I don't quite know what you're asking
Just build on your own bias
and not create new ideas
