  lol have a nice day

  You’re not arguing in good faith - the wiki was the source for the existence of instincts you asked for. Also, Wikipedia is a very good resource actually, what difference would it make to you if I just copied the sources referenced in the article?

  I didn’t get your second part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sigh…

  en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinct

  There you go, sources and all. It’s very illuminating.

  My argument is that there is a basic moral code embedded in our genes via instincts. For example the ability to feel compassion and empathy - these are instinctual.

  online.uwa.edu/news/empathy-in-animals/ (just an example)

  Now, what exactly is “good” is a philosophical question without an objective answer. But to assume our entire behavior and everything makes a person “good” is learned is pretty disingenuous, at least under the definitions of good I’ve most commonly come across.

  We’re not talking about turtles but about instincts, that’s why I said “assuming you’re correct” because even if you are, you’re not disproving the existence of instincts, which is pretty much scientific common knowledge. The specific example is not that important for the argument, which you conveniently avoided.

  Even assuming you’re correct, which I very highly doubt as you have provided no source for your claim that contradicts the overwhelming majority of information you can find online, are you going to tell me flies also communicate with their eggs? Does it continue all the way down to amoebas?

  The entire life of a turtle…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We may be speaking of different things. Let me ask you something: do you think the warm feeling you get when you help someone or share a moment of achievement with another person is taught by society?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Genes are a type of memory. Instincts aren’t taught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not arguing against that, but there definitely is a moral compass embedded in our genes. We’ve evolved to work and live in a society. Otherwise we would be extinct. You may be taught things that “feel” wrong.

  Nobody needs third parties to dictate what good is, it’s embedded in our genes.

  Lmao we already see people are being influenced by social media and targeted marketing, where do you think the source of that is? Do you think you’re immune? Think again. And it’s not just about selling you things, it’s about shaping how and what you think. And what’s the agenda I’m trying to drive in your eyes?

  You’re right that they for now don’t sell personal library streaming information, let’s see how long it stays that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies want your money. The more they know about you, the more possibilities they have to get it. You don’t know what the political landscape may look like down the road. You may feel safe now, but that can change quickly. Imagine you suddenly need to pay back money to the copyright owners unless you can prove you already did?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you connect to the internet from 2 or 3 different locations, the hashed email will be the same, so they just need to compare the locations to those from another service like Instagram and they know who you are and what you’re streaming.

  I regularly go to a Vietnamese restaurant with work colleagues not only because the food is great, but the entertainment value of the owner berating you for not eating the expensive vegetables or calling you an idiot because you ordered the small drink despite the small price difference is just hilarious. You can tell he isn’t faking it too, the guy really just can’t keep it in. We love it, but I’ve met plenty of people who vowed to never return after the experience.
