Actually, most do (your brother notwithstanding). This is pretty established research. Even children who have been specifically guided into opposite...
What, in your view, is usually intended by "conscious"? I was under the impression that consciousness referred to, well, phenomenal experience....
I don't think so. It would be a pretty gross oversimplification to say that one's entire conscious experience could ever be synonymous with an...
This is what I was going to point out. In my opinion, all this talk of chairs and axes has gotten us off on entirely the wrong foot from the very...
Breeding, as a species concept criterion, is typically taken further to mean that the resultant offspring can in turn produce viable offspring (i.e.,...
I'm a nutritionist. ;)
:facepalm: Should it be a herd of groups of elephants? A culture of aggregates of bacteria? A swarm of couples of bees? What do you think...
How the hell do you think natural selection works? It operates on collectives! In this case, it works on the collective of individual genes. It would...
Your ignorance is stunning. The theory does not predict that the fittest gene will always survive. It predicts that the fittest genes have a higher...
No one says they have to be saved at all. If a beneficial gene gets grouped with a detrimental gene, well, shit happens. Too bad. Presumably the...
What the hell? That's exactly what I'm saying! That's natural selection operating on genes in a nutshell. Nonsense. Crossing over only affects how...
I'll post it for the third time:
And now we're right back to where we were earlier, with you attacking the (didactic -- I said it! :runaway:) metaphor of a gene which is actively and...
I misread your virus example as saying something else. Anyway I will repeat myself: what is the problem again? In this special case the descendant...
I'm curious how you think reproduction would be possible without any transfer of genetic material from parent to offspring. Is a stork involved?...
...are you asking if selfishness is defined in terms of itself? :wtf: Can I get a little clarification here?
She has elsewhere identified herself as a "nutritionist," which I am charitably assuming as being close to a dietitian. I feel embarrassed for having...
:runaway:
Who said anything about algorithms? Leave it to you to look up the wrong usage of the term heuristic.
Christ himself is facepalming right now.
