We are alone, even together.

We're still alone with certain people even when seemingly coming together and gathering.

@amerika
culture > individualism > culture

(looping individuals back to culture again?)

@freeschool

There is a feedback loop but it we need to get genetics in there.

genetics -> culture -> behavior <-> genetics

@amerika Ok... just to make sure... from what I mean and what you see might be a little bit different

But specifically for example, from my first response and then yours...

I don't see the "individual" actually adding to the "culture" feedback currently or very little change. It's mostly all one and the same type mono-work / unchange-"work"... Agree?

I assume you would agree it's not just individual or culture to change but the "iron-clad system' type of culture / previous rules we can give credit to and people at the top installing it (who are actively NOT wanting change, repelling it even, AND not caring to implement it mainly for their own self-preservation and selfish reasons... royalty / elite types or people, landlords etc).

Then about your adding of "genetics" to that equation from your reply, I'd say change the 2nd "genetics" as a word to "epigenetics"

genetics -> culture -> behavior <-> epigenetics

so that the first "genetics" is almost chronological "new-born baby starts life" and then at the end their "behaviour and environment" is the 'epigenetic' -
which is at the end of the sentence and equation to show it loops back to beginning of sentence as "genetics" again
(maybe as parents having lots of changed behaviour forming as new "genetics" in new children).

genetics -> culture -> behavior <-> epigenetics

Agreeable?

+ A metaphor or simile for "epigenetics" in people to support what I mean might be said like rocks forming new rocks or...

█ "A geological change in the mineral content of rock after the rock has formed"...

("rock" here means as a "person" changes after reforming / changing behaviour)


@freeschool

I don't think we need epigenetics in there at all. Straight Darwinism. I am convinced most individuals simply rationalize urges and do not think much :)

@amerika Ok so it's clear - I think it is both and unavoidably so. The urges but regular patterns and education push things in reality within whatever almost that is being supported / unsupported. To rely on the more primitive or urge stuff = more of the same, not that we such rely only on that!
