RE: What A Cake Can Teach Us About Nurture Vs Nature

in #science8 years ago

You speak of nature vs nurture as a means of creating functional species or element of our world, but isn't that itself looking not at shades of grey, but at black and white composition. This view is part of the false dichotomy of evil/good, because this particular dichotomy exists because we observe other things as you say, as a mixture of nature and nurture that break the law somehow to make unlawful progress or advancement and not as simply nature or simply nurture that commits good or evil acts. But the thing is that evil and good, nature and reward or other dichotomies are as you say intertwined within us, but we are conscious of it, so our simplified thinking is not false dichotomies in which we blindly believe, but the lack of knowledge on how to act when we reach unknown areas that are not part of our routine and daily life. To us humans, good is a product of intertwined nature and nurture that is routinized and evil is product of nature and nurture that is not routinized. I think that we must not abandon simplified thinking which in a way gives us formal security, but accept the chaos outside of this formality and not be afraid of results that will at first seem as something foreign even to nature/nurture dichotomy. We should have attitude of looking at nature itself as something that is still in progress of being built, rather than as walls that surround us from the breeze of the unknown.

I mention specifically that there are plenty more constituents taking place to the point it makes them dichotomy irrelevant/non-existent

yes I know, but I add to it by saying that everybody knows that there is a point that makes these dichotomies irrelevant/non-existent, but still these dichotomies prevail (and then I say and here we disagree), that these dichotomies prevail not because of our lack of knowledge, but precisely because of our extra knowledge, that tells us that without this constraints (this is what you also say in response to anarchospace, when you say "language is important") that make frame of our everyday formality, too much chaos would seep into our reality.

yeah but wouldn't you agree that nature and nurture mingle together to the point they fuse with each other?
