Would you agree that many humans, especially younger ones, are also incapable of reasoning?
- addaon 11mo agoI think it’s completely uncontroversial that younger humans are incapable of reasoning, no? The only area for discussion is at which age (if any) this changes for an individual.
- hattmall 11mo agoI would say that's a pretty controversial take unless you strictly mean babies. At the point a kid can walk they are certainly capable of some level of reasoning because just walking successfully prior to it becoming muscle memory requires a fair amount of reasoning and children very rapidly figure out new things both spatial and logical.
- addaon 11mo agoSo if you believe babies do not reason, and walking humans do, then younger humans up to some age do not reason, yes?
