So, I was thinking about the idea of culture being genetic and I feel like its an overrated idea.

I believe in race realism, and I think its true to a certain extent that culture comes from genes but I don't think its nearly as meaningful as its given credit.

Lets take something like, rolling a dice for example.

If we roll a dice, get a 5 and ask how do we explain this, what is the best way to understand what just happened, how do we master this dice and gain useful knowledge about this

one could merely say that rolling a 5 on that dice is genetic.

The dice didn't roll itself, a human that is made from genes rolled it.

The desire to roll it came from genes.

The design of the dice was made by humans with genes.

Even the surface it landed on was likely created by humans created from genes.

But this explanation has almost no use whatsoever.

Learning the cause or the origin of something doesn't necessarily lead to a fundamental understanding of it or any useful knowledge about it.

It doesn't even say anything about the probability.

If you were a betting man, and you saw someone roll a 5, saying this person rolling a 5 was genetic (and it is) and therefore you bet this person will keep rolling a 5 as long as their genes are the same you will lose a lot of money because something being genetic doesn't mean you know the outcome even if the genes are the same.

I will take this silence as inability to refute. 😁 👍

culture and genes are highly interconnected

also why the fuck are you saying "hurr durr no one can refute my arguments". No one is obliged to refute your dumb arguments.

the problem is it's _not_ a roll of dice

how many tries will sub saharans need to have to make a chinese civilization?

indefinite, until their genes change

Displaced ethnicities create similar cultures where ever you put them. For examples, Haiti and the other afro carribeans make typically African societies. The white South African settlers created highly productive and advanced societies just like in Europe, and just like in North America and Australia

the problem with that argument is the continuation of culture

it's not fair

True, it is transplanting of culture

How would you create an experiment around this? Culture is incredibly heritable whether it's genes or not.

you can't

but you don't need to either

lol

if these people bring tha twith you

with them*

then why would you want that..

Lmao

show me the country built by these people that you want to move to

obviously it's genes

but it IS also the environment

I am confused how the mechanics work tho, I know it’s genes, but do the genes merely produce character and personality traits, attributes and preferences that make people build societies a certain way?

I don't know what you're asking

@Boniface The point of understanding the root of all human conduct, behavior, cultural, social and all things related too genetics is to come to a complete and full view of the human being as a multi layered and complex being that has it's complete emergence from the basis of his DNA from 2 shared parents. You can never understand what humans are, what humans do, and why humans do until you understand this fact. Then from here you can explain why certain actions, tendencies and even oddities or counter intuitive behaviors arise in man.

Idea's such as tabla rasa have done a great deal of damage given the false view of humans it purports. Leftism for example is a rotten apple born from the tree of this manner of thinking. They did not know man as he truly is and upon this hypothesis much speculation was had, and upon much speculation many ideas and remedies were born, and among these come the kind that have given birth to the end of western civilization and who knows where it will end. Possibly extinction.

Genes make people do things, but how? Does it make them think certain thoughts?

And change their emotions to those thoughts?

if you put the greeks (todays, or ancient) into scandinavia and the scandinavians in greece, they will change behavior

make entails no choice
