It is not.
- Retric 3y agoProve it.
- fsflover 3y agoOne can't prove a negative. The burden of proof is on you here.
- Retric 3y agoI did not state a definite answer, they did. So they should be able to back it up. Also, it’s possible to prove some negatives. Mostly though the definitions of terms.
- fsflover 3y agoIf the good and the evil are encoded in human genes, then we should kill all bad people and all problems in the world will be solved.
- Retric 3y agoThat’s hardly the only option, still… Let’s assume we could kill off all the sociopaths, your point is?
- fsflover 3y agoMy point is, your expectation of genes being directly connected with the good or evil, or with sociopathy, is naive at best and racist at worst, while at the same time you're using it as an attempt to deny the devastating impact of procreation on the environment.
- Retric 3y agoAhh, many of your basic assumptions here are false. A goldfish can’t be an environmentalist so some minimum cognitive function is required thus demonstrating a genetic component. Note however that doesn’t suggest a goldfish or a human with such extremely diminished capacity is evil. Your good/evil axis and environmentalism is thus clearly separated. Even if you assume as you suggest there is some good or evil DNA suggesting “it’s racist” would imply a specific distribution of these genes along racial lines. Which is itself deeply offensive because it comes from a place of deep seated racism. People of extremely diminished capacity are also still worthy of adoption. I could go on, but people as horrible as you should be shunned.

Show me any evidence that cognitive capacity of humans depends on genes. > Note however that doesn’t suggest a goldfish or a human with such extremely diminished capacity is evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem > People of extremely diminished capacity are also still worthy of adoption I never suggested otherwise.
