Agreed. That’s my point. I’d like to see some hard science. B/c like consciousness (scope in time and space) AFAIK, human guilt (debt > predict > submit) emerges from base neurology. Cooperation is more valuable to humans than chimps. They know liability(risk) not guilt(submit).

@curtdoolittle Even for that limited definition of guilt, animals remembering inflicting cost (instead of breaking rules) and exhibiting a guilt-like state I would like to see empirical evidence. Remember that chimps don’t give a damn about reputation.

OUR EUROPEAN NATURAL RELIGION
We evolved technology (magic, pseudoscientific), and not astrology(supernatural) and found ourselves with dominion over man (others) and nature (gods), so our natural religion is and always was philosophy(choics is ours to make), with sacrifice and ritual (debt payment) to gods (archetypal forces) as our ‘literature’. The problem we faced is that the church – like Judaism and Islam – closed down our stoic schools and epicurean communes (monasteries), and killed or outcast our philosophers, to DESTROY OUR NATURAL RELIGION of philosophy (vs theology), and archetypes (vs monotheism). There is no evil in this wold remaining other than Abrahamism – I am not sure there ever has been

So like many people you are still as confused as everyone else that didn’t learn from Popper or the failure of 20th century philosophy (dead end) and the failure of the search for a via-positiva scientific method. There isn’t any such thing. Human language is Open (no closure).

@balajis This doesn’t take much computational power, only expanding statements into promissory, complete sentences, in operational vocabulary.
The vast majority – with rare exceptions – of what people say is false and/or irreciprocal if it is outside of their direct experience.

—”You said Psychology is not a science. Can you explain this argument as you have done with Marxism?

Freud was just creating a pseudoscientific counter-revolution for the female mind(collectivism) against the restoration of the male mind(individualism) by Nietzsche.

(b) all emotions are reactions to changes in state of past, present, and future acquisitions – nothing more. Rewards for training a brain that can learn to acquire. (c) all emotions, personality traits, all cognition, and therefore all behavior are biased by the different reproductive strategies of males and females.
