Are the genetics of 2018 Irish in Ireland that different from 1998 or 1918 Irish in Ireland? Because the sexual, social, religious, and politcal behavior is pretty different, tragically so.

it's weird because for a while, before I really started following politics, I thought that Ireland is a conservative country or some shit like that - frankly, modern Ireland is goddamn pathetic like the rest of western europe
-
Ireland kind of reminds me of Canada. A big part of Canada's self image is being not-America. Somehow Trudeau the Elder convinced Canadians that America was really conservative, so Canada could differentiate itself by being super Liberal.
-
Of course the result was Canadians just became Hyper-Americas. I suspect Ireland took a similar trajectory with its relationship to Britain.

Q: what do you think about the rise of tumblr use among teens/young adults circa 2011ish and the corresponding upshot in kink shit eg pet stuff, daddy dom stuff, etc
-
I'm not a determinist so I think there's some extent to which bahaviour can be conditioned. As for all that gross tumblr stuff, I think tumblr's influence can be chalked up to allowing people who are susceptible to that stuff but didn't know it existed to discover it, so to speak
-
That, and social media/ the internet in general allows these scattered people to find each other and form communities around the weird stuff they're into.
-
Most of these people weren't into it before exposure on tumblr, and it's more than a little niche interest (at least daddy dom stuff in particular and more general bdsm stuff). Tumblr in this instance drives behavioural change

is it actually a hot take in the CURRENT YEAR, like, really
-
Maybe, maybe not. Still, I remember when church leaders and conservative politicians would say this kind of stuff. They still do.

It is in part, but much of it isnʼt. We see both an innate language faculty and acquisition of languages from others using them.

Behavior is socially conditioned though, just not to the extent that Boas thought. Biodeterminism doesn’t real.
