Of course you are. It's just a non-issue really. I'm not sure anyone claims knowledge itself rather than capacity to gain it is in genes
They don't, but I think *some* of these genes vs culture debates miss out on even considering the role of knowledge.
Maybe point out to me next time you see a conversation abt evolution in which it wld have been helpful to point out knowledge isn't genetic.
Oh. Then point out a conversation which exemplifies what you mean or recount one or make up a hypothetical one.
For example, discussions of human behaviour sometimes gets reduced to endless nature vs nurture arguments.
And that's fair enough when you talk about things like intelligence or, I dunno jealousy, but these attributes are not enough, in themselves
Not enough for what? It sounds as tho you think conversations abt psychology these shld always include prescriptions abt reason & science.
When to me it seems obvious that reason applied to knowledge gained through science is the way forward but not always relevant to convo.
