Human Instincts

18 Sep 2004

Sorry got to thinking on that other thread there about "Human Instincts"
Its a very interesting subject when you lookat it from a scientific point of view as far as Im concerned people are who they are and like what they like beacuse they do, simple as that however lots of people who choose to haev an alternative life wether it be swingingm gay lesbian etc and I dont really go in for labels (whole other discussion eh!)
Looking at al the rules and regulations and guidelines in the world of whats meant to be right/ wrong etc What we see here on this site is a lot of people excersising their right to enjoy their human instincts and be who they are, nothing wriong with that!!
How did society get so backwards and who is to say whats right and whats wrong!!
Bring on the revolution I say, I started this thread with a lot of logic in my head and somehow lost my train of thought in the second sentence! confused

That`ll teach you! Trying discussions on a Saturday morning when we are all bolloxed! lol

Similar to my `is the human race a cruel joke?` thread, if you want to read some other comments which might be of interest. I`ll prolly join this one when I find some braincells!

It is a rum old game innit?
Religion and politics dictate the moral rules. Nature still manages to let us do what we want, even though we have to hide what we do. I don't mean just us, either. The planet is full of organisms that exist to reproduce. Human beings are just another organism. We live, we fuck, we die.
Great, innit? smile

You can see from my last statement that we each of us have a label, in fact we each have many labels whether we like it or not, such as. Mr. ,Mrs., Ms., Gay, Tranny, Swinger, employed, retired and so it goes on.

Y'know, I'm not sure I see that. Rather than illustrating the need for labels, it sounds more like you're demonstrating the problem with trying to model life using something less complex than life - that you can never get a perfect fit.
I know what it is this reminds me of - calculating the area under a curve. I remember my teacher drawing this on the blackboard; and you can play at home too. Take a piece of graph paper, draw X and Y axes, then draw a curve. Now calculate the area under the curve. Not easy... but you can draw the biggest box you can under the curve, and the area of a box is easy to calculate (width times height), and since the box is under the curve, the area of the curve must be more than the area of the box. Ah, but if you draw two boxes (that don't intersect) under the curve, and add their areas, you'll be closer to the area of the curve than you were with one box. Now try it with three boxes; you're closer still. And so and so on...
The point being, no matter how many boxes you draw, they'll never add up to the area under the curve. With every box you draw you'll get a little bit closer to the area under the curve, yes, but you'll never actually reach it. And likewise, the more labels you apply to yourself, the closer the sum of the labels will approximate you, but they'll never fully describe you. (And besides, you'll need a very large piece of paper to write them on.)
Of course, mathetmatically what you do is draw an infinite number of boxes and hey presto, the sum of the areas of the boxes equals the area under the curve. smile
