Donnadogsoth Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That is, there are types of people in the world, e.g., r/K, and one pair of types is that some people are "wired" to grasp that there are types of people, and other people are "wired" so to be unable to grasp that there are types of people. What percentage of people are capable of the former, realising that there are certain ineradicable differences in thought patterns in people that cannot be erased, undone, or otherwise changed?

chromanin Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Are the differences ineradicable or insurmountable though? There is no evidence that such a static condition exists. The whole 'point' of a brain is to enable a life form to learn from its experiences and make strategic alterations within its own lifetime, which recursively alters itself and descendants. Our brains are surprisingly plastic under amenable conditions. Certainly IQ is going to be a hard limiting factor of the complexity an individual can grasp, and genetics will indeed weigh heavily on preference. To suggest though, that nothing is changing (for better OR worse) is fallacious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
