Well done! That takes courage.
Good thing you say "..what appeared to be..." ("appeared" is the important word here). And good thing to see you honestly admitting an agenda. Some times you had me wondering if you were just an academic myopic or actually having an agenda.Originally posted by firkin
Partly also my fault, I tried to counter what appeared to be academic myopia by dumping a few "science/philosphy" paradoxes on you hoping to knock you out of a rut.

Fire will become particularly interesting.Finding a few berries will now alter his brain chemistry, leading elation or satisfaction not previously evoked by a few berries. Maybe (very speculative!) a few DNA messages will get read that weren't being read before. Or ones that were being read as a child will get read again after many years. Could be particular combinations of messages that is important. Or expression in certain areas of the brain. Such a mechanism as I've attempted to describe has been speculated to make something like "ancestral memory" scientifically plausible. Such a conclusion is quite an extrapolation, and not "mainstream"! Is it in the same category as UFOs or Yeti? Who knows?

I'm a bit touchy about what gets labeled scientific. Some hearalded "new" things just look like old problems dressed in the trappings of recent disciplines. So you did push a couple of buttons.
"Nature vs Nurture" isn't new, nor is the concept of determinism. New tools and perspectives with which to examine these things are exciting, but sometimes it looks to me like restating the problem in new language is mistaken for progress in solving it. Could be an invaluable first step, but demonstration of progress is required before one knows.

In this american culture, in english, this does not sound either sincere or interested in actual dialogue. Per your usual return to form, it is condescending and arrogant. Is this what you intended? Then you have successfully communicated.
