Just a small thing that I found interesting and came across today:
Genetically speaking, in the context of the cuckoo factor and cuckolding; altruism for a twin may not be the best evolutionary decision. (Decision in the unconscious calculation).

Khergit Deserters wrote:Therefore, it is possible that the primal human emotion uncontrollable, irrational, tormenting, raging jealousy developed, to prevent most individuals from even having the mental faculties to make that altruistic decision. Me, us and them, maybe?
I also found the following argument interesting (adapted heaily):Quote:There are three things to control populations famine, plague and war or if we are lucky, birth control.
Trying to improve food production, much like modern medicine only alleviates the problem for a short time but in the long term such solutions only continue to fuel the exploding popultations. Sadly, eugenics has been heavily tar brushed along with genocide.

Two can achieve more than one. Altruism still survives because it produces a far greater result in the long term. It was not stated as an absolute. The logic would normally stand that a twin surviving is just as good as you surviving.Bagrat Skalski wrote:Khergit Deserters wrote:Therefore, it is possible that the primal human emotion uncontrollable, irrational, tormenting, raging jealousy developed, to prevent most individuals from even having the mental faculties to make that altruistic decision. Evolution is propelled by change, if the society is changing, peoples and their emotional patterns will have to change also thru generations, or they will become obsolete and dead, without offspring. If we believe in evolution why do we ensure that the dim and feeble not only live but also breed?

Khergit Deserters wrote:... most humans lean toward either muscle or phrenetic, but not both. Muscular or energetic? I think if you are talking about muscle and intellect then I happen to know a long list of people with both. (A great many of them do mountain climbing, dancing and martial arts; I guess it requires more neurons than lifting weights).
I believe that our brains are evolving mostly as a response to other people, perfecting the ability to manipulate each other. However, in terms of our immune systems, eye sight and such, we have artificial crutches that are propelling those genese forward and helping them thrive.

I think when you look at the rampant capitalism and the way it uses and discards people, I think it is obvious that it is probably not the best solution. I advocate for a Technocratic Meritocracy with Socialistic tendencies.

Okay, let us take this to the pinnacle of trees in the forest type of conversation.
Meaning of life, there is none. It is what you place on it. If raising a huge family, collecting numbers in a bank or worshipping a fiction gives you fulfilment then that is the meaning you give your life.

My last response was typed slowly with many interruptions but let me clarify that manipulate can also mean affect in a socio-biological context.
I do not mean it in the pedestrian sense of turning someone to greedy gains sometimes it is like giving to a homeless person, altering their lives, affecting and being affected by it.

I don't remember the title because it was too generic, something along the lines of, "The colour of the Universe" or "Colour of Darkmatter" "Color of particles" something to do with colours. It was interesting to read about different neutrino, protons and colours of quarks.
However, on quatuum biology, the new findings of how photosynthesis are fascinating. The way the energy find the right cells to be absorbed. How geckos alter their proteins strands, et cetera.

You are not the evolutionary process. "dim" and "feeble" are your judgements. Evolution through random mutation is ipso facto a random process so it would be better to not introduce a subjective viewpoint IMO. No. We can measure this. If a lame Impala is in the herd and lions get them running, it falls behind and is eaten. When you look at humans, the humans born lame, are wheeled along within the herd, not falling behind and they continue to live into adulthood and pass on those lame genes. We have halted our evolution by continuing genes that would otherwise be eliminated.

We have halted our evolution by continuing genes that would otherwise be eliminated. I have to disagree, mate. A lame impala can't survive. Same as a lame chick on a farm anywhere in Europe, Asia, Africa, or the Americas. That happens due to basic farming/nature brutality. Compare that to modern human group/consenses decision making. Hot damn, I'd rather be a lame chick on a deep-woods Kamchatka farm, than to have some human deciding who and who isn't worthy. Lame chick at least gets a fair shake of the dice. Here is an example, I know of a guy that has Craniosynostosis (skull does not grow) and he was full aware of having the disease because they kept cracking his skull open to make it expand.
It is a hereditary disease and he has gone ahead and fathered two children that will repeat the life of misery that he has endured. I am not saying he should be killed. I am saying he should have been sterilised.

Ragnar Severasse wrote:Well to address the topic, I think I heard somewhere that there is some sort of gene that people have that encourages altruism. Indeed there are people who are more altruistic naturally, however, as soon as you have a high number of altruists, the self genes sweep through and out compete them. Altruism is not evolutionary stable.
The thread plan was that people post small snippets that get others thinking.

I always ask myself the following:
Do I need this product? How much do I want this? Why do I want it? How much will I need it?
Well, it comes down to this, I have clothes, food, some stuff for those things like an oven, pots, washing machine and I have a computer, bed and bicycle.
I can be packed and ready to go and on an airplane in two hours. I am not tied down by a bunch of dust collecting things I didn't really want.
So, when I say, take a boycotting idea viral, then I speak from experience that it may well work.
