Generally science records an 80/20 split on nature/nurture, but the important point is that without the nature the nurture does not matter, AND that the nurture is mostly negative influence.

#Texas #cultculture is a problem. I don't need people cursed by floods telling me how to culture.
Thx but no thx

@monarchist @freepatriot I agree that culture (values) are upstream from politics, which is the practical manifestation of our innate values. But genetics I don't agree with. I do not think there is a one to one. I _do_ think that genentics influences values, but to which % I do not know.

So it will be interesting to see the advances in "value engineering" or culture engineering. Once that art has been perfected and fallen into the hands of our current politicians, the world is lost.

@monarchist @freepatriot Is a culture of freedom possible? Is it possible to inculcate a bundle of freedom oriented values to thoroughly that a community will become libertarian-stable over time?

As we (I think) have discussed many times, libertarianism is a very unstable system. It has appeared throughout history, but always disappears due to dissipation or violence (direct or indirect) from its more powerful neighbours.

@freepatriot

It's a typo, the real line is:

FREEDOM LEADS TO TRANNY

Recent history has proven this right.

We need culture more than government or laws.

@h4890 @freepatriot

I think you're right here: freedom is a consequence of a functional culture, and only one part of what it does.

@h4890 @freepatriot

"One to one" is a false goal

Try abduction: culture does not exist without the genetic group.

@freepatriot

Once we (1) remigrate all ethnic Other and (2) exile the neurotics, this will be possible.

Culture is upstream of politics, but genetics is upstream of culture.

Jokes aside: freedom should be absolute, but it is something you take, not inherit or is given, and it solidifies if private property and the principle of non-aggression are respected.

“This is none of your business” is one of the most amazing statements from Americans.
So go to the gun range with some homos after a pot fueled Bible study? Count me in

Americans say that living in a police state today is better than having freedom that might lead to tyranny.

If Americans should be allowed to be homosexuals then why can't they own guns?

If Americans should be allowed to read Bibles then why can't they smoke marijuana?

Live and let live.

Freedom is the American way.
