What Is It

几乎所有的事情都有基因吗?是同性恋吗?的意思吗?作为一个哲学家?现代科学是否表明,我们在很大程度上是基因的产物?加入肯和约翰以及著名的生物学哲学家约翰·杜普雷,看看你是如何被你的基因困住的。

Listening Notes

基因在生物发育过程中起什么作用?约翰开始区分基因型和表现型。遗传决定论认为基因型完全决定了表型,也就是说,基因完全决定了一个有机体的结果。我们经常读到“智力基因”和“同性恋基因”,但这是什么意思呢?这难道不支持基因决定论的观点吗?

John介绍客人John Dupre。Dupre区分了“基因”这个词的各种含义。但是,约翰问,我们不是找到了唐氏综合症的基因吗?Dupre解释了这个短语的含义。肯说,他在学校里学到了基因密码,它阐明了每个有机体将如何发育。Dupre回答说,使用“遗传密码”一词是不正确的。遗传密码是非常基本的,表型性状不仅仅取决于基因。例如,杜普雷说,一个家庭可能有一个共同的鼻子形状,但这是由生物学决定的,而不仅仅是基因。Dupre给出了一些将基因组作为一个整体而不是单个基因来看待的理由。Ken summarizes: using the phrase "gene for X" does not mean that someone that has that gene will necessarily have X.

Ken asks aren't genes distinctive, extra-powerful causes? The genome is important but overemphasized. Dupre criticizes the idea that all the information that is passed from parents to offspring is in the DNA. Dupre gives some reasons for looking at the genome as a whole rather than individual genes. Then, John, Ken, and Dupre discuss what it means when people talk about the number of genes in the human genome and what "junk DNA" is.

杜普雷认为基因决定论是错误的。这是否意味着任何人都可以成为任何事?他的观点包含什么?这是有限制的,但它们不仅仅是由基因决定的。杜普雷认为,我们应该把重点从基因组转移到发展上。

If there's no genetic marker

If there's no genetic marker for homosexuality then it can be determined that homosexuality is a subjective construct. A subjective construct cant be enforceable. That is to say, homosexuals cannot force straights to entertain the "homosexual" delusion. But thats not perfectly the case. There are genetic causations that predispose people to becoming attacted to the same sex. Honestly, i feel its shown that all females are homosexual in addition to whatever else they are.

The catholic churches possition is that homosexuality is unnatural and thus immoral. But this really goes to show how far catholics are able to rationalise, which isnt very far at all. Morality itself is unnatural. Beyond that, the catholic church is the biggest collective of homosexuals on earth. Having most of the world's xxy females and the most pederasts world wide. While it's overwhelmingly obvious we cant take moral pointers from such an establisment of eunuchs, pederasts, misandrists, catamites, and heroin mafia, they are useful for something, being the most dispicable archaic bag of evil on earth for us to have something to struggle against.

甚至他们自己的出版物也预测了他们出版的结束。它们只是作为结构暴力的实体存在。没有理由让他们非法入境。他们不允许任何人非法进入自己的国家。他们曾经找到了一个他们喜欢的穆斯林教派。一群鸡奸军阀种植了世界上95%的海洛因....甚至被说成是世上邪恶之源。

Im tired of this dichotomy. Im tired of their 2dimentional thinking. Im tired of this two sides of the same coin thing. Im tired of their jelous god named after ji(zeus). Im tired of this type of currency.

Lets let the real currency be something natural. Like whether or not your country can take care of its own self on its own.

让我们把联邦调查局的人干掉。它只是一个英国天主教的傀儡。奴隶:奴役的工具它唯一的真正目标是让一切都成为非法,这样它的经营者就可以在不受惩罚的情况下主观地、有偏见地、自私地执法。

Lets see evil take care of its own self once its currency bubble blows up. Lets see them choke on all their el Dorado gold. What worth is a brick of gold to a starving man looking at a loaf of moldy bread.

You wanted pure top down cannibalism, eat up.

Genes only give capacities, propensities, and limitations. Its up to you whether or not you're able to overcome these factors. It's whether or not you're truly "alive" or just a pocket calculator only able to calculate as it was designed. A so called "flaw" can be your biggest strength or it can be your biggest weakness. Science and mathmatics are the most potent magics, but they are not a belief or compatable with theists.
