Summations Only

You mean the psychology of learning: which is pretty well researched and (off the op of my head) I can't see how 'knowing' helps evolution.In fact 'knowing' would do the exact opposite. If you can out think the problem you don't have as big a selective force for physical evolution. If you can provide any evidence that the collective unconscious is not simply a construct I will eat one of my many hats. You seem to be missing out the science of psychology. Empathy? What do you know about mirror cells or the theory of mind?During my training I received versy specific training in, guess what?Empathy.No one would deny it because it is a well known and researched area within psychology.Edited by Larni, : eating hats.Edited by Larni, : empathy

Please show how knowing and communication is required for evolution to take place. If you can't your hypothesis (it's not theory) is invalid.

It is obviously not self evident, however. If it was you would be able to bring some positive evidence to the table.As it stands you have made a claim (put forwards a hypothesis) and then done nothing.Essentially you are saying "for unknown reasons I assert that x.y and z is true. I have not examined whether x, y and z is in fact true; I merely assert it. You must believe I'm right"That won't wash with anyone with a high school knowledge of scientific research.It is a hypothesis that you have made no effort to test.A hypothetical theory is just that; hypothetical as opposed to actual. No they could not work together. You are on very shaky ground if you bring in any analytical psychological perspectives into a scientific discussion because of the simple fact that Jung was very much talking out of his arse.Edited by Larni, : Jungian diatriabe

How could it test your hypothesis? What is your experiment? What you are saying is "I think this is true, go test it". But you have given no reason for people to follow your logic of why you think it is true.If you think that science is about unquestioningly believing things then you know as much about the scientific method as you do about the existance of Psychology. I have no idea what this means.Edited by Larni, : spellink and clarity.

Yup. That is what got me pissed.As if empathy has never been studied. As you American's sometimes say: sheesh!

Please show how mirror cells support your hypothesis (again, it is not a theory!).

No it does not. It supports the hypothesis that one human being can vicariously experience emotion by watching people when they are in an emotional state.It has nothing to do with your hypothesis (again, it is only an unsupported hypothesis until you go and do so actual applied research).These stages need to be moved through. You are at the hypothesis stage. Nowhere near being a theory.Research - WikipediaEdited by Larni, : spellink

You are wrong that mirror cells support your hypothesis.Unless you can show that you are correct with some of that evidence all the kids are talking about, these days.

Me too.

One who has just discovered that he/she knows all there is to know about the world? And can't believe why he/she's getting such a grilling here?I reckon.

As much as it pains me to say it zi ko is in fact correct with his theories.Caprican humans can transmit information down through generations via their genes (rather than culture).It is counter intuitive but that's why we have the song 'All along the watch tower'.The information somehow gets coded into the genetic structure via some very ordered sections of dna that do, in fact look designed (although design to match Caprican human dna).About 150,0000 years ago there was an event that molecular genetics pinpoints as the time frame when Caprican dna merged with ours.I can't remember the name of the documentary, though.

My point entirely.And I was being hilarious. POTM nomination, anyone?

This is untrue. This is also untrue.Honestly, the position you maintain on this issue is that of a complete fool.

Funnily enough the human gut has 100,000s of neurons in the lining.But, of course your point stands: and zi ko's falls in the ditch of Great Crank.

If you wished really, really, really hard.......
