Change of perspective doesn't change objective reality of human nature as the latter is immutable and outside control of observer, while the prior is very mutable and anyone can warp it as much as tech allows them.
- mola 5y agoSo human nature is immutable? What's so special about human nature that makes it a constant while almost everything else is so clearly mutable. Heck we humans even observe changes on geological time scales...
- sto_hristo 5y agoIt simply is immutable. That is how things are. I don't need to convince you of objective reality; you're free to try and unite everyone in peace and harmony to protect that pale blue dot. And by saying "not mutable" i don't mean that is doesn't change. Of course everything changes, constantly moves, is in motion. It's just that you can't do jack shit about it or determine how it will change. You can't mutate the process as this process is beyond you.

- sto_hristo 5y agoReality itself. My deepest apologies if that goes against your fantasies, but maybe if you shout loud enough at the Moon, reality will bent to your wishful thinking and everyone will humbly live happily ever after caring for the pale blue dot.
- Tepix 5y agoTurns out 90% of "human nature" is socialisation which subject to change at all times.
- sto_hristo 5y agoCall me again when you manage to socialize the planet in the way that you want to protect pale blue dot. Don't waste my time before that.
- asxd 5y ago> And by saying "not mutable" i don't mean that is doesn't change. This may be semantics, but saying it's "not mutable" literally means it doesn't change.
