and we can see the increase of mental diseases like depression, which possibly is linked to that fact of the society not being united and people being more isolated than ever before

Both for sure! I think we would live in a more harmonious world if people were to be more sympathetic and/or empathetic.

True.

Both are important and are the base of every civilization but we must always have suspicions about other people's goal because not everyone is good and naivety has been many people's downfall through the ages.

-*What determines our future the most, nowadays? Our biological characteristics, or the ones we acquire through the society we live in?*
<@&682288520680964151>

A mixture of both but the thing that matters the most is the skills we acquire through life, because whenever their is a skill their is someone who will want to pay you for that skill

True.

Mix of both

50 is dependant on pre-existing conditionss

50 id dependant on your own will

In the future 100% The ones we aquire from society since we will be able to change the biological characteristics

@Koninos God

lol

Jk, depends on your genes, sicknesses, etc. it's different for all.

But mostly social

Sounds like survival of the fittest to me.

Biological for sure

Why so?

Social ones seem to be more important, and with the rapid advance of technology, we will be able to change many of our biological characteristics.

-*When does human consciousness begin?*
<@&682288520680964151>

A few hours after birth it appears

I doubt it begins so quickly.

Definition of consciousness or do I have to decide it?

Probably slowly developing from the first week to the seventh month.

Human consciousness is being aware that you're a human.

then yes

I don't think an infant is capable of understanding what a human is.

though I would guess that level of awareness that we might describe as consciousness would appear pretty late

eh

The infant knows they're alive, they know that their mother will provide them food and all, but they just can't understand what a human is.

Because a newborn animal knows they're alive and that their mother provides them food as well.

I honestly prefer this definition - the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself

though consciousness would fully probably develop couple of months after birth

there are some signs of awareness through the entire development

but if I have to put an arbitrary line

an year after birth at the latest possible.

but calling babies before that unconsciousness would be disingenuous

@Koninos when "I" say so.

Budum tsss

@Koninos I think that's self conciousness/self certainty

Conciousness would be when we are more just *aware* in general
