it's a degree of what can I do, what are others doing that change what I do, how fast do things degrade, how much free time do I have, etc.

it's too complex I think

to answer like that

@snake It's more like a probability scale on the likelyhood of what you would do in a given environment.

it's genes playing on the environment

The more informed your gene's are (adapted too) any given environment the less energy you have to spend thinking about what to do as the answers will come more natural and with little thought. The opposite is also true. This is the human body showing it's evolutionary practice in action and one of those benefits is energy conservation.

I also think people do things for different reasons

so it's not like you could answer it like that

yes ofc, and again this is a probability scale of likelihood, not a certainty

I didn't reply to you btw

for example you don't think of new ways to turn on the lights at home.

I know I could have spent my life in many different ways, still with the same want for some things

but there are also things I would never do I think

lol

I think about light switches every time I turn it on (not really)

Well with the right kind of brain tumor

never say never

yes but how deep and conscious are those thoughts?

anway, it's people influencing people, with the opportunities you see and your wants

I still believe that not considering the social aspect of humans as a very strong and influential aspect of human formation and interaction is a grave mistake of those who are too deep into the biological materialism.

I honestly think most black people live more colorful lives (pun) than whites

like it's innate

colorful?

I don't follow

I think I would have a problem explaning that

like how they view their lives

Well I suppose it explains the bloods n crips

they are very colorful

like a white person tolerate more

I mean maybe, it's kinda vague but if you mean in a way like more risk taking and dangerous lifestyle choices well color me white, I don't wanna have a colorful life.

a little bit of that yes

but it's a whole package

a white person is more ok with having a "grey" life

excuse my synesthesia

lol

Yea we seem to get our kicks socializing intellectually which colorful people see as boring and dull.

it's a weaker need to have fun I think

Yes I would agree with that generally

@Eternal Entropy I agree that Tabula Rasa is bad and its prevalence in society has caused a lot of harm but I think a supposed "Tabula my big brain has figured everything out because muh genetics" could possibly be just as bad. Straying away from reality will fuck you up sooner or later whichever side of the pendulum you are on.

it's like at some point we mature to a certain level where as colorful people want to have endless childhood fun.

I might be a little dazzled with whites complete loss of in group preference
