Intergalactic Summit

At least you possess some reading comprehension. And to imagine what you'd be like without those damn institutions? Education is increasingly undervalued these days.

-Eran

1. You claim to be conservative yet graduated from the most liberal school in the country.
2. You claim to be from "flyover" country yet fail to realize very few people in such parts of the country are ethnic Gallentean, speak Gallentean, or have Gauron surnames like Roden.
3. You seem completely oblivious to actually Gallente culture despite claiming to try and preserve it.

And ontop of all that, you are literally wrong about everything.

Oh dear. I'm not at all an evolutionary biologist, sir. I know some neuroscience and some genetics, but not so much as an expert in the field. I can try to explain what I know, but you should really discuss it with someone more educated ont he fine details.

Humans aren't really "divided" in the manner you suggest. As the estimable Dr Gridherst earlier mentioned, genetic differences between humans and our closest kin species is somewhere around 2%. This is still thousands of genes, and each one represents a different "division" that a person could fit into. What's more, genes interact with one another, and other nuclear components also contribute to morphology. Combinatorial analysis of all of these factors makes it pretty much impossible to produce a simple "racial categorization" of humans. It simply doesn't work that way.

To your second question; natural selection works in the State exactly as it does anywhere else, sir.

To the more general theme you seem to be driving for - if I may paraphrase, "Institutions that allow individuals to survive where they would have otherwise died are bad." Is this correct? Can we continue on this statement?

To this more general theme, I have a few points to consider

1) Survival is often about chance as much as it is about evolutionary pressure. By helping the individual whom chance betrays, that individual may survive to provide utility to their fellows, helping all improve and thrive. Their death weakens us all.

2) Oftentimes, beneficial morphologies can co-express with detrimental morphologies. A genetic structure which expresses itself as a certain brilliance for logical thinking may also express as a physiological flaw, for example. By saving these individuals from death we preserve their benefits, which help the community as a whole.

3) Individuals with detrimental genetic structures can also carry within them recessive beneficial structures. By keeping these structures within the gene pool of a society, that society maintains a healthy reserve of alternative morphologies that can be expressed in later generations.

4) Environments change. Maintaining a diverse gene pool, complete with genetic structures which are at present detrimental, ensure that the population maintains maximum adaptability in the face of dramatic change. Praise the Ancestor who carries that burden, for they may one day save your heritage.

Hopefully you can understand why we as a species have altruism within us, and why we should be overjoyed by this fact, and not fight against it.

Doesn't know anything about the Federation- is of Gauron descent and hosts a well regarded comedy news program. Seems legit.

So you're not going to clear up inconstancies with your identity? Very well. Guess its safe to assume you are a liar and a coward.

Have you not answer the topic already? Or lets say had it brought down to two points: Bad troll or a lying idiot.



Two stupid questions: Is it Garoun or Gauron? Whats the name of the thread: Equality of humans and the Federation? I really can not read it, my FTL neocom is cutting the upper-line.

In general, as I already told: "As long you are happy with my first point, you are the person which does not understand the Federation. And I have not seen any criticism from you about that point." A caldari would not have a problem with inequality, but a Fed-citizen should.



By the way, thanks for all the donations. As for now I have to go, so see you folks maybe one day again.

Small question: "They have chosen to not participate in the State, and therefore haven't got access to the institutions and services that the Deksam provide." Those this "phenomena" weaken the collective/state/group/firm (as you mention: A society does weakens itself by not using the full width of its genetic pool (point 1-4))? By the way nice line: "who have decided to not participate in the State"



Now, I sadly have really to go.

This guy's pissed off this many people in a couple hours? He's gonna go far.

I already answered your question. You are either a liar, a fool, or both.

It is Garoun. I apologize for the typo.

You're leaving? Dont come back until you've read a book.

...Another one?... Makers Breath... *an animated emote of a door being slammed and the Welcome mat being replaced by landmines is seen*

But, is it going to the left or to the right? And, does the Outrider fly to the left of her caravan? These are very important questions.
