[QUOTE="pickleman, post: 105848, member: 6359"] I was using evolution in its correct term. Consciousnesses are filtered via the incapacity to multiply itself before it dies out. I never mentioned anything about an overnight change... I explicitly said it takes multiple generations for a population to recover from a significant psychological shock such as witnessing a civilization which is significantly different from your own with much higher conscious thought and will. If you are someone in their late 20s you will have a hard time dealing with moving into a completely different culture, it would be significantly easier if you were young. But of course someone has to be the one to "give", ie: in order for someone of your group to exist in another culture someone in that linage would have to confront the conflict and reproduce. This first immigrant would require a strong will. What I define as "higher conscious thought" and "higher will" is merely the capacity to continue improve the future of their descendants regardless of adversity. ie: if you were picked up and plopped into 16th century England you would probably commit suicide or be a drunk despite knowing "more". Its a really significant change. Like think about it. Nearly all modern conveniences you have today would not exist. It would be like getting lost in the forest. Even if you are a strongly willed person in this civilization; you may not be a strongly willed person in another. This is the evolutionary pressure. This is very idealistic. But since I was accurately using the definition of evolution to make my original point; Obviously some of the people (who may have seemed a little weird probably) may adapt very well to the new civilization... this is an evolutionary trait stemming from the genome. [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7012279/']a recent meta-analysis reported heritability estimates for the Big Five (NEO) traits, ranging from 31% to 41%[/URL]. You need some weird people who do not fit into a group to deal with the selection pressures in group conflicts. An adaption with in a couple years; this is the weird people. It takes a handful of generations before a population is at par with the dominate social group with the strongest wills. Society is also always changing. So the dominate group is always has their consciousnesses stressed. There is a reason why there is civilization cycles in terms of a couple hundred years. This is basically the equilibrium of consciousnesses in stress of the dominate social group. When the Dominate Social Group has their consciousnesses stressed, this enables opportunities for other groups who have higher consciousnesses/stronger wills (which have been under higher stresses over more generations) to come in and take over. Take a look at the whites in America; They had strong wills up till the end of the 20th century then their children (who adopted the consciousnesses of their parents in youth) then had to come to terms that that consciousness is not very well equipped for a post-christian postmodern society. The typical white youth do not care about their next generation as they only care about themselves so their wills and consciousnesses are lower. What is interesting is that since a lot of evolutionary pressure has been applied to Natives/Blacks/Asians for quite a while; they seized the weakness of the whites and started to take over their civilization. These people have higher wills and consciousnesses because the white people abandoned their monotheist God which is where their strength was given. Can you explain why whites are seemingly unable to reproduce? Wheres your year or two of "adaption" ? Wheres your "they can adapt to anything?" Doesn't seem to check out the birth rates are dropping very fast; the monotheistic people who abandon their monotheistic God see their birthrates plummet more then the ones who did not. Do you not get it? The Europeans in the 20th century almost universally believed in a monotheistic God and from that they defeated communism and fascism. Without that God they are seeing plummeting birthrates/declining civilization. Why do you think leaders claim "diversity is our strength?" why do you think they leaders claim that we need "immigration"? Its because they failed to reconcile with killing God. Its waving the white flag non-ironically. Right and there is still Monkeys in the forest. But if you put a monkey into a city they will be disorientated. Obviously these people are not monkeys, but they will no doubt feel unbalanced/alienated in a place where there is a dominate christian culture. To think otherwise is to be ignorant of how people feel when they are noticably different then others around them. A group which is united by one God will not be as easily destroyed as by a polytheistic one. The only way to destroy the monotheistic God is to hit them with unrelenting nhilism (which destroys any civilization without recovery). This is objectively false; If you analyze the entirety of the population of these syncretistic chinese people and plop the average down next to an average (real) Christian they will not find much common ground in thought. I have read the Secular Age by Charles Taylor; In this book he mentions that many Boomers in the 1960s actually abandoned the Christian God for a "Theuraputic Moralistic God" in an incoherant way. They passed this fake God to their Children and of course the child found it incoherant and abandoned it. If take a single individual from a population you can really say whatever about them. So I personally do not care much about the supposed random individual which may have underwent pre-selective pressures. Right so you do not believe in "learning" or the immune system or memes or sciences or theory. Got it. How do you not look at the objective diversity of consciousness around you and not conclude that it was crafted by natural selection (a tool of God). Literally no one around you carries the same thought as you do, I cannot comprehend how you can think you would think the same way as an ancient egyptian. In consciousness evolution got speed up many times fold compared to what the genome had on offer. Consciousness then created civilization which also evolves... did you not consider that civilizations are pressured by their environment and selected by it? Did you not consider that philosophical theories evolve? Scientific theories evolve? All of these concepts are tested by the environment and if they survive they get to pass their "genes" or they are destroyed. Your tools evolve because consciousnesses evolves. These new tools pressure not only the consciousness who created the tool but also the consciousnesses which exist where the tool is being used by other consciounesses. If your civilization is punching out tools like there is no tomorrow then you put on SIGIFICANT STRESS to existing consciousnesses in the society which utilizes it. The idea that you exist in a society means that you exist in a space where consciounesses are using tools and which you are then encouraged to use aswell. Using a tool fundamentally ulters the pressures on your consciousness as the tools fundamentally changes what the consciousness /is/. So no theres simply no way you can take some one from ancient egypt and expect them to be a functional person in this civilization. Even if you could speak the language (highly doubt anyone could as we wouldnt have an audible understanding or understand any subcontexts/jokes/metaphors), these people would freakout over nearly every "tool" you take for granted. Indians literally just got toilets installed a decade ago, this guy would not know how to shit. Not know how to wipe his ass. Not know how to clean himself. Not know how to buy things. Not know what or how to cook. Not know how to cross the street. Not know how to get anywhere. This guy would be utterly helpless, would need to start at ground zero with understanding. He would need to have an insanely strong will to not fall into deep depression. Imagine if you teleported to some alien world where everything you believed was a lie. You sacred beliefs? WRONG. Have a bunch of Gods you like? THEY ARE ALL DEAD. Sport you enjoy? LONG GONE NEVER COMING BACK. The big reason why Western Culture has decided to go all in with unrelenting nhilism is that in the end it takes out everything and thus puts all consciousness on par. This is because they believe in the blank slate which isnt real. In reality they are just destroying themselves in a conscious suicide. Like talk to some white people, most of these people are mentally damanged even though they come from good households. What the fuck happened? Can you explain? No I do not think you can. You theory predicts the opposite of what is occuring. [/QUOTE]
