      Where is Pythagorus' theorem? Is it 'outside'?

      What is needed apart from evolved abilities and a culture to enable them for Pythagorus' theorum to exist?

      One important factor - that it be true.

      Nothing else. But without understanding that Pythagorus theorem is only a thing cos it's true, you're missing out a big part of the puzzle.

      Humans evolved the ability to work out awesome abstract things which are true according to rules we also worked out to work these things out

      Yes, we evolved that ability, but do you thank your parents for all your thoughts? I don't.

      But what does that mean? Apart from that children can think things their parents don't even tho they got their brains from them?

          That the genes aren't the whole story. There's also an 'I' in there somewhere, with a brain that thinks. I admit, it's mysterious!

          Because we don't know exactly how the brain works yet? (I suspect you don't mean this)

          If you have two identical twins, do you praise one for his twin's right answers on a maths test? Even if they share the same genes?

          How does that relate? Who is saying maths answers are in genes? Just the ability to learn maths is

          If they were both maths geniuses, I'd think their brains more interesting than the maths answer.

          I don't know what u're saying. What is mysterious. We don't understand how ppl work stuff out? We might do 1 day. Probably be disappointing

          Well, maybe I'm going off on a tangent, but the 'I' is also mysterious. In that it's not just the sum of the genes.

          The 'I' is mysterious and the logical connectivity of ideas is mysterious and I think it's more puzzling than just evo-psych explanations.

          Why would we expect them not to be able to? Why is this remarkable? They were given the means and used them differently.
