Good to know how "Esoteric Philosophy" works. So you still dont mind the base-idea of inequality of humans, just the "fatally flawed points". This is great to know. So how do you divide humans as "Esoteric Philosopher"? |

I don't think you even know what you're saying. I certainly don't. Maybe look up the definition of esoteric before speaking on it.
With that said, if we were to follow your logic that "All public institutions which are working against the invisible hand of nature, working in truth againts the self-interest of the nation," then 1) you would not have gone to University of Caille as schools wouldn't exist, 2) your parents would've abandoned you after birth and you likely wouldn't be here today, and 3) the ideas of Laws to protect the weak and innocent would not exist and you'd be living in hell, if you somehow managed to survive.
Your logic sucks. Beginning to think you're just another troll.

-Eran Sorry to tell you, that it was: (1) We have to accept, that humans are not equal. (2) That we all subject of evolution and natural selection, what I call the invisible hand of nature (3) All public institutions which are working against the invisible hand of nature, working in truth againts the self-interest of the nation.
So the base-idea was: "We have to accept, that humans are not equal."

I can read, thanks.
I never disagreed with the fact humans are unequal. I disagree with what you propose because of that fact. Judging by what you said, instead of supporting the young, sick, and elderly, you'd rather they fend for themselves.
You have yet to actually confront or even acknowledge the counter-arguements presented to you. I wonder if you're capable of debate or just set to repeat the same thing. Seems all you're interested in is recieving donations.

I understand you. Your criticism is about point 2 and 3. To be more precisely: That, inequality doesnt need/most not led to natural selection of humans. If I get you right? |

Sir,
As constructions of human groups, public services and institutions are tools used to promote survival of that group. This includes those which go against "the invisible hand of nature". Just as bower birds build halls of twigs and line them with flowers and pebbles, humans build societies and institutions. We are a social species, after all.
There is no such thing as an institution which works against evolutionary laws.

I do accept that your spelling and grammar is substandard, though.
So your criticism is point 1.

Yes, sir, that's correct. Your third premise is wrong, invalidating your conclusion. May I suggest re-examining evolutionary theory with the help of an evolutionary biologist? It should go a long way in helping you understand the broad-scale implications of genetic propagation through populations, including the presence of large social structures and apparent altruism.
Alternatively, neurobiology can be very helpful in identifying behaviour motivations, and could give you a new perspective on why we act the way we do.
Best of luck, sir :) |

How would you divide humans? How does natural selection work in the State?1 |

I know some neuroscience and some genetics, but not so much as an expert in the field. I can try to explain what I know, but you should really discuss it with someone more educated ont he fine details.
Humans aren't really "divided" in the manner you suggest. As the estimable Dr Gridherst earlier mentioned, genetic differences between humans and our closest kin species is somewhere around 2%. This is still thousands of genes, and each one represents a different "division" that a person could fit into. What's more, genes interact with one another, and other nuclear components also contribute to morphology. Combinatorial analysis of all of these factors makes it pretty much impossible to produce a simple "racial categorization" of humans. It simply doesn't work that way.
To your second question; natural selection works in the State exactly as it does anywhere else, sir.
To the more general theme you seem to be driving for - if I may paraphrase, "Institutions that allow individuals to survive where they would have otherwise died are bad." Is this correct? Can we continue on this statement?
To this more general theme, I have a few points to consider
1) Survival is often about chance as much as it is about evolutionary pressure. By helping the individual whom chance betrays, that individual may survive to provide utility to their fellows, helping all improve and thrive. Their death weakens us all.
2) Oftentimes, beneficial morphologies can co-express with detrimental morphologies. A genetic structure which expresses itself as a certain brilliance for logical thinking may also express as a physiological flaw, for example. By saving these individuals from death we preserve their benefits, which help the community as a whole.
3) Individuals with detrimental genetic structures can also carry within them recessive beneficial structures. By keeping these structures within the gene pool of a society, that society maintains a healthy reserve of alternative morphologies that can be expressed in later generations.
4) Environments change. Maintaining a diverse gene pool, complete with genetic structures which are at present detrimental, ensure that the population maintains maximum adaptability in the face of dramatic change. Praise the Ancestor who carries that burden, for they may one day save your heritage.
Hopefully you can understand why we as a species have altruism within us, and why we should be overjoyed by this fact, and not fight against it. |

I get our points. I really love the Idea, that a society weakens itself by not using the full width of its genetic pool (point 1-4). It is very well thought out and I have to say I like your line: "Institutions that allow individuals to survive where they would have otherwise died are bad." It explains the old point better.
Small question: Those the caldari non-entity caste enjoys help from institutions? Could a non-help mean that society is weakens itself. As you mention in point 1:..."individual may survive to provide utility to their fellows, helping all improve and thrive. Their death weakens us all."
I have to say Im not an expert in caldari society and its divisions. So I may get things wrong. |

Ms. Scherezad made some great points already which I could not have said better.
As for how I divide humans, I don't. It's up to God to make those decisions. People are unequl in many ways, from intelligence to height. It doesn't mean a whole lot without some sort of context. As Ms. Scherezad pointed out, even those with the most desireable traits could face a rude fate. You could be the brightest and strongest but it doesn't change the fact a lightening bolt could still kill you just as easy. Natural selection is just as much about chance than it is survival of the fittest.

I have to say Im not an expert in caldari society and its divisions. So I may get things wrong. It's alright to admit that you aren't an expert in something - it's a good thing to say when it's true! Your error is fairly straightforward - there is no 'non-entity caste' in the State. There are those who have decided to not participate in the State, however. Is that who you mean? They have chosen to not participate in the State, and therefore haven't got access to the institutions and services that the Deksam provide.
I'm really not sure how that applies to your topic, though, sir. |

Before you start talking for all ethnic Gallente, you might want to consult with them first. As an ethnic Gallente, I find your stance rather short-sighted if not completely ignorant and its only purpose appears to be to fuel some sort of divide between ethnic Gallente and everyone else.
I do not feel particularly superior for being a particular bloodline. Genetics and lineage, while somewhat important for some, do not define a people. Rather what they have done with the blessings and the curses that have been given them. We Gallente do have a right to be proud by the accomplishments of our ancestors, do not however ascribe what they accomplished to genetics. Steffanie Saissore, Knight Stormcrows
