I got 2 interpretations for the forbidden fruit.
One is that represents the begin of civilization.
This is when humanity would no longer work just for survivor, humanity started to work for production.

A much better idea is that eat the forbidden fruit is something that every person do during life. It's whem we understand the idea of right and wrong.

Sorry for any english mistake...

I see religion the same way I see mythology. They are cool stories and I like to discuss about them, but I don't really believe on them. The same goes to Hercules, Star Wars, The Lord Of The Rings, Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist...

>Suppose you are studying Moby-Dick. Anybody with any common sense would say Moby-Dick is a big white whale, since the characters in the book refer to it as a big white whale roughly eleven thousand times. So in your paper, you say Moby-Dick is actually the Republic of Ireland. Your professor, who is sick to death of reading papers and never liked Moby-Dick anyway, will think you are enormously creative.

Oh, so true. I think you can get many things out of literal terms, and some people overanalyze.

Materialism is good. Anonymous 29/5/2009(Fri)09:12:21 No.49980

[Reply]

Why is materialism supposed to be wrong? We are part of the material world and apart from our sapience it may well be pretty much all we are, it is impossible to solve problems, fulfil hedonistic desires, discover the truth or whatever it is that you've set your heart on without embracing this fact.

It is unethical to ignore reality in favor of blunt abstract ideology because only rational thinkers are capable of making the realistic physical changes needed, not just to people's behaviour but to the infrastructure, technology, organisation and industries of nations. I believe anyone who is not a materialist is inherantly immoral and corrupt.

Love can't be quantified simply because it cannot be measured, or at least not with any accuracy since we do have methods of detecting brain activity.

Perhaps you cannot reason correctly and confuse love with the property of being sapient which cannot be measured whatsoever. Whatever you are arguing I must be right since I included that in my original argument, which is that although there may be more than a material world we have very little control over it, even over ourselves, so communism and so forth won't work. We need to embrace materialism.

What people typically call materialism is the heartless, amoral quest for luxury and/or power.

I think both are/were driven by the lack of a large-scale, well-organized system which guarantees human survival.

That is the point of civilization (to achieve the large-scale presence and organization of such a system).

lol so much true!

A little more
They say that TV melts your brain but IQ scores and average education are steadily upward.
The same goes to internet.
They say that violent videogames make youth violent but today with all those extreme violent games (God of War, GTA, etc...) but youth violent crime rates are decreasing in U.S.

Every generation thinks of themselves as better than the others and this is the same since ancient times.

Do people who are deaf or blind from the birth realize that other people can see/hear? If yes, do they only do that with external help or by themselves?

They still have the hearing parts of the brain, unless that's why they are deaf, they may be able to imagine sounds, but with no initial stimuli to begin with they would be triggered by accidents in the brain.

But the brain doesn't learn to hear if it have never received stimuli. A daltonic doesn't imagine a color that he can't see.

Also seems like if you change the genes to make a animal with black and white vision to make a new animal with color vision (only eye change) its brain will learn to see colors.

Maybe if we make a humans with eye receptors to UV this new color will be normal to him, but we can't imagine how he see it.

>>83378
Much of the brain is a combination of both genetically determined structures and their reaction with stimuli. Indeed without stimuli their ability to imagine what they cannot sense will be severely warped compared to someone with physical stimuli as a modicum on which to base their perceptions, however this does not mean the part of the brain which has evolved for million of years to deal with sight/sound disappears completely.

Can I get some insights about psychodynamics, /ssh/?

While it doesn't make for very good therapy, the submerged part of the iceberg, however inarticulate, is as vast as the analogy suggests, containing all the precursors of our intuitive thought, all our preferences, our fears, our potential reactions, the tangled web of a universe inside all of our minds, and obviously, everything about us we do not articulate in our minds' eyes, and thereby, everything we ever did think of and forget. It's the most chaotic, dynamic, and relevant thing we have left to learn about, of which we have done almost none. Theories and models do not take away from the relevance of this concept, but rather highlight the fact that there is a virtual infinity of understanding left to accomplish about our own minds. It's the meaning behind everything that we are, for fuck's sake.

Your post is really more about behaviorism than what I was talking about, but there are issues to discuss in it relating to psychodynamics, and you did tie it in with your last paragraph.

Really, I think of behavior more often as it pertains to psychopharmacology (mostly neurotransmitters, don't know much about structure yet). Every individual exhibits deviance. I like how you said, "the neurodiversity of our species," and I think of it more as the quirks every individual exhibits neurologically, the "intelligence", thought patterns, and "personality". I like psychodynamics because to me, it shows how obscure these things really are, because they must be evaluated on an individual basis to really get the whole picture, and all of the theorists before have been theorists, schemers, because you can only look at the mind in this way so vaguely unless you want try understand one snapshot of a person for your entire life. They try to simplify what is inherently complicated. I don't believe there is a simple answer to nature versus nurture at all, and this approaches the problem as a gargantuan, expressionist mural painted over the instinct and other innate ~physical specifics of the individual. It's draining to think about how different everyone really is, to me, not that they aren't all similar and predictable as well.

I do think perhaps the majority of people have a degree of...marked defectiveness of personality and thought, which couldn't necessarily be called disorders, because they don't always ruin their quality of life, but do make them more simple though not less capable of intelligence. Things similar to Asperger's, but less prominent. If you think I'm saying I think everyone's stupid, try to read this paragraph again foregoing that conclusion, and I'm sorry I can't be more specific.

I don't really know psychodynamics I talk with psychology people sometimes but I'm a hard science nerd.

Anyway, I think that many conditions considered disorders like ADHD are just part of neurodiversity. People with ADHD have some problems compared to "normal" people, but they have some advantages too. Most of the world see many conditions like dyslexia and ADHD as a impairment, but there is many examples of notable scientists, artists and historical figures with conditions from ADHD to some forms of autism. Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton may have had Asperger syndrome, of course we can't be sure since they died before this condition came to be known.

What I mean is that there are many variations, some of them are considered normal in modern society, others not. Each variations has its advantages and disvantages, someone with asperger syndrome might have some problems with social interaction but their intense interests is good to the knowledge generation, others have said that ADHD has a link with creativity.

If a disorder has a negative effect on someone's quality of life then it needs to be cured, not ignored because for some reason you think "diversity" is always a good thing.

Aspergers is not always a bad thing but this doesn't mean it's always a good thing and we should force mothers to induce asperger's syndrome and other "neurodiverse" mental deficiencies and disabilities in their children using carcinogenic neuro-toxins just to increase "diversity". Seriously, that's just insane. Am I in Mengele's laboratory here?
