      Yeah both weigh heavily to that side and these are pretty empirical claims. Harrison’s argument if extended further may at least attempt to explain cultural evolution in respect to humans drives. Pinker is very abstract. I like his influence from Noam Chomsky though, it is the stronger parts of his writing.

        So the idea here is that two people are taking in two different pictures, the whole object they are devouring is incomparable really to the other which may exist and will never ever be the same even if the person stands in the same place that object is inaccessible and gone and eaten as is and by the other.

        Ok. How about we try to dive into each other’s worlds a little bit, using imagination in the process?

          Okay, in Welsh there are not seperate words for green and blue, lets call them one word, grue. Does that mean that a Welsh man’s experience of green is different from an English man’s ? I would guess yes.

              It’s ok kFoyauextlH, other people will label your philosophy for you, and neatly categorize it. They will hand each other neat, overly reductive synopsis of what they think your thoughts are.

                          I agree with thetrizzard concerning on their specific benefits. My ethic kind of sounds like Levinas. However, I think that they are innate. I agree with you all that they have to be fought for relentlessly. This is because they are predominantly epistemological and mystical. However, I do see a degree of them even in cultures you might see as oppressive and nonwestern. Certain cultures are able to accomplish other types of benefits through socialization that hyper individualist cultures can’t. People are and are not the standard for what rights should be. Keep on.

                            The point I disagree with is blaming a type of economic society or a type of governmental society. That’s not truly where the problem lies.

                            The problem lies within the society itself… worldwide… regardless of which country you live in… regardless of which language you speak or what race you identify yourself with. 

                            Especially since labor is fundamental regardless of what government type you have, in all honesty


                            If you had changed the title of this post to one of the above societies… you are bound to find a number of people such as yourself in those societies.

                            My suffering lies in that I am restrained in what I can study for monetary purposes. I lack intellectual freedom when I slave away at attempting to be more qualified. I am on a track that I feel that I can’t get out of and the money will get pulled away from me if I don’t do well and stay in the program I’m in. Unlike Ontical, I’m not originating from the working class. I have heard many stories and I have firsthand experiences that confirm that there are casualties of capitalism, that of directly resulting poverty. But do any other type of thoughts or forms of life (methodical or not) resolve that would be the question I ask. Money does tie you down into modes of working that encourage substance abuse. I’m not arguing that means you are forced to take drugs, but I know someone who’s father had a work schedule of constant working for the sake of his family that did not permit practically any break. He had literally no option but to suffer although for a noble cause. It had a permanent toll on him.


                            Same with me… no one gave me a book on how to raise both of my daughters, yet, both of them have done pretty well. 
                            Did they both lead perfect lives? Of course not! They made mistakes (financially and socially), but they survived and became better people for it.

                            I’ve seen many instances where a child who was born in poverty and violence grew up to be a productive member of society.
                            I’ve seen many instances where a child who was born with a silver spoon in their mouths who became a major drug dealer.

                            Bottom line?

                            It’s you as a person that dictates how your life will be and how you fit into an imperfect society.

                            I have had to overcome the game of having a scapegoat too. I don’t rationalize my suffering in such a way either. I agree with you on this tidbit about individual responsibility. Ontical has actually pointed this out when he has talked about his life (on another medium, one of his youtube videos that no longer exists) before he discussed it additionally with respect to capitalism.

                                Leadership and mentorship can provide education in disciplines that people desire is another point I’d like to make.
