But you are saying that most other people's opinion is.

Doesn't matter if there is love, or if people use to do it

I'm not saying that.

I know that my example is anecdotal, strictly speaking, because I can't tell how others feel, but for me it's a visceral, automatic response that I believe many others must have, too, regardless of their knowledge of genes or recessive alleles.

i'm saying there was a domino effect that leads up to your (the modern) opinion on incest.
that chain of dominos leads back to a growing stigma being attached to the idea.

Well, I keep finding the same conflict in our reasoning, but maybe I just have to reflect on it more.

Think about like this, sex is meant for reproduction

Either way, all that "suggar daddy" talk has been around long after people understood the consequences of incest.

So Gene's atleast matter somewhat in this discussion

Wether or not our aversion to it has been socially constructed or has a more biological basis, this same general attitude has been around for longer than those expressions have existed.

Its entirely possible i'm just not making sense.
I've never been good at communicating my ideas to people.
Its why i know i'd make a shitty teacher

So it might be a moot point.

I try, and i try and I try, but i feel like the more i talk, the less people understand me

then i try to restore to metaphors

and that just make shit worse

It's fine. Don't beat yourself up over it.

There is always a chance I'm the one who is wrong.

It is very unlikely, because of how superior birds are, but it is not impossible.

Yet ever I use that, people just call me stupid

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

You're not stupid.

Your parents loved each other very much.

They didn't know about genetics.

This is supposed to be a place for ideas to prosper, yet mine always gets attacked

As if I'm infected

We are all infected with a terminal disease called life.

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

Ideas can be wrong

Are you sure all of yours aren't?

Not all, but atleast some

It's a pretty nasty STD, by the way. You pass it on through sexual intercourse and you are going to 100% die from it once you have it.

That's good

I'll never die from it

the universe loves tormenting me too much to let me die

Actually undead

That's impossible

Yes, that's why it invented reincarnation.

Virtually all cells of your body that now comprise you will be dead in about 7 years.

Nothing that made up who you are now will be alive then.

Or less
