-“Education is a backwater. They don’t accept science. … people just use their hunches. … Cognitive traits and educational achievement are the most inherited traits. They are going to have to deal with evidence. Eventually, they’ll take genetics seriously.”-Robert Plomin

What we intuit as our “soul” is explicable (primitive) biology. (Sociopaths don’t have them).
Metaphysics as you mean it refers to the fictions and fictionalisms (storytelling->literature, magic->pseudoscience, sophistry->idealism, occult->theology).
Materialism won. It’s over.

THE HARD PROBLEM WAS BUT ISN’T ANY LONGER. 😉
Sorry, but the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness is solved. It’s taken me a year and a half to figure out how to explain it but once you understand it, like many things, it’s not a hard problem at all – it’s rather simple and obvious. (Philosophers look like idiots in retrospect.)
Funny, but computational irreducibility (the inability to provide a mathematical description for some phenomena), isn’t any different from the impossibility of introspection.
However, once you know the function (operations) you can describe all of human experience.

I can’t figure out if knowing what’s knowable is wonderful or humiliating. I mean, we’re bots. We’re bots that because social cooperation is simply hyper productive, self reflection (consciousness) emerged by accident.

Judging from course materials from the top universities psychology courses are neurology and behavioral economics for stupid people. ;).
Neural Economy. Behavioral Economy. Cooperative (social) Economy, Economics proper, and Political Economy.
Know the ECONOMY of the subject.

Initiative(war) and aggression(conflict) are two different things. 😉

Europeans got the lottery (mostly)
Size, Sexual Dimorphism (and resulting cognitive balance), Gracility, Sufficient neoteny for low aggression, and ‘faking’ (signaling) neoteny with white skin, light eyes, and light hair. Strongest people despite more neotenic signaling.
