[QUOTE="pickleman, post: 106323, member: 6359"] I believe consciousness is both genetic and memetic. Consciousness is constructed not in individual isolation but with a strong component stemming from the parents via genetics, epigenetics, memetics from the parents essential to child development, and memetics from society which is essential for the child to become an adult and reproduce. Consciousness without others is without identity and undefined. I would also argue it empties as the connections to others fade with fading memories. This is why I do not think you can take somenone from a lets say a nomatic tribe in africa and place them into a new york city and expect them to know whats going on or to relate to anything. They will look different, their recognition will be in how they are seperate. Their skills will not match the needs of new york or its women for reproduction. Their only hope for survival is for a local to help them integrate. But even with help, the stress on the consciousness will be high. Even if my some miracle this guy reproduces, the children will still be under conscious stress of being othered. They may be unprepared pychologically for the high stress environments of Western society which encourages people to not breed and succum to it. Nature implies that you have an intrinsic component to consciousness which exists when all nuture is taken away. I think this is a false diachotomy. Without nature, there is no reason to nuture, as nuturing implies to protect one from their natures awell as the natures of others. Without nurture, there is no psychological basis for memetics. A consciousness which evolved in an environment where there was memetics which stablized its construction/evolution it would not survive in a natural environment competing against species which do not require memetics for its consciousness, and act almost entirely on instinct. An example would be bacterial infection in the purest form as bacteria doesnt even have instincts they are as close to machines on the biological scale as possible... but against a human simply kept alive in a tube till 18 and released in the wild? Food is the basis of human culture, without cooking memetics, they will poision themselves almost immidietly. This is consquence of original sin. When humans left the garden of eden they learned to judge good vs evil. This evolution of consciousness made humans different from animals. Humans now rely on memetics of morals more then they do on instinct. The birth of morals/ethics creates a doctrine of what one is not supposed to do. This is why monotheism is superior to polytheism. It is because the doctrine of what one is morally ablidged is clear among the civilization rather then split among the demands of muliple gods. This is why America/west is seeing high stress on consciousness. It is because its highly polytheistic in a post-theistic sense. while these people may be agnostic they exhibit traits of polytheists. Everyone is building their own sets of morals and the culture makes little to none moral demands other then to not critique the fact the America/West is decadant and polytheistic or face riticule. A cohesive society is a monotheistic one. If you evolved with a consciousness in a monotheistic religion you actually require that religion for mental stability. This also has to be recognized in your peers or they will succum and be removed from the gene pool (and threatens your survival). Are some "New Atheists" mentally stable? Probably, this is a trait of genetic survival as I wrote about previously. These "new atheists" were wierd in the old monotheistic system. How will their children grow up? Many "New Atheists" are raised in christian households. How will these children form the adaptions required in this sudden change? Will they succumb? I think they will, give it a few generations and the atheistic west will breed itself out and it will be monotheistic again. I will emphasize collapsing birthrates is occuring in countries which are becoming late modern countries. Which means they abandoned God. Birthrates are not falling as fast for the religous. The religous now know the evils of late moderns and the AntiCultural New Atheists and we want them purged. My children will learn philosophy and learn how to argue against new atheists for the genetic dead ends that they are. [/QUOTE]
