>what do u figure a human is?
Oh fug,
Math is about solving simpler problems then that will get you to the main question, I will think this way. The reason why it took 2days is because of thinking and thoughts over the corse of months, If you don’t care about everything I have to say then you can skip to what I think the answer is, what was worth thinking about and a thousand words.
the thought process
I never liked it when people said “race is a social construct” because I just don’t see how. The only exception I got was “because we change the definition” but is that from the lack of knowledge or getting something wrong is any thing that change a social construct or anything that could change. We can’t just call things social construct because it’s not apparently obvious that it exists beyond humans. As we know more definitions will change overtime, this includes the definition for human.
So when making a definition we have to define if it even exists, or else it will change. So what does it mean to exist in the physical world. Going really broad to include most things, to exist beyond thought is “to be both quantitative and qualitative”. There could be a better definition for something that exists but for now this is good. It includes things like atoms, chemicals reactions, light etc, and it also excludes things like god, unicorns, thoughts etc. again not a perfect definition but also one that is very useful. I can go into more detail about why this is a good definition
, but that’s beyond what I’m trying to do here, probably do it in the next thread if you want.
Race is not a social construct
Let me give an example of a definition problem, “8-balls are people with ancestry from sub-Sahara Africa”. This is a good definition to get points across but with more knowledge the definition has to change, as in this was a good definition in the 1700s, but in the contemporary era how far back are we willing to go. Go back only one or two and Haitians people are not black, go back to at any time and then the entire planet is black.
Black exists on a spectrum as in something qualitative, so perhaps something similar is happening to human. So what’s a better definition for 8-balls? Yes we can’t just call be both quantitative and qualitative when talking about black race. The first thing I thought of was quantitative biology and melanin, a melanocyte that produces something that exists. Already you can start to see that this is a better definition than what we had years ago, this tells us that Italians in Irish people are white and blacks are dark because of this fact. For something qualitative the question needs to be asked, does color exist? At first you would think no because color is made in the mind you can’t Measure a red therefore it can’t exist. Indeed color how we see it does not exist but we know something is there because we can see a noticeable difference. We must ask are selves what is color fundamentally? With out rods and cones color is a wavelength on the electromagnetic scale. It is a photon, something we could measure like the amplitude or the sign wave and it’s something we can see. Therefore, we can definitively say that race is not a social construct.
trans people
For another more relevant example the trans community and the question, are they real woman or men?
Before I talk about this I first want to say I am a libtard, and I have a political bias. It was forms when Order of Nine Angles, the temple OV blood, million pity etc post CP and gore to krautchan. It was formed when I looked in the past and saw devastation rain from the politically right. I can talk to these people, friends, equal intelligence, but I could never understand why they are like this. I see many other libtards but they are so immature to argue about something instead of accepting the people are different. They are just so close minded to others, I am not close minded to anyone even the right but I could see the same as them, so big shocker that I like trans people.
So to give a good definition of man or woman that excludes not men or not woman and includes trans people is the amount of a hormone in the body. Most likely estrogen and testosterone, this proves the theory of gender is a quantitative amount of chemicals but tells us why someone may change their gender. indeed it is like a spectrum just like race, therefore nothing has changed. We just looked at it from a different perspective and change the definition.
Human
Finally we get to the hardest question define human. I will chart my thinking process so you can look into my mind’s thinking in chronological order.
First hypothesis, humans are a system of cells in a [describe human] arrangement. That a poor definition because it use human in the definition, but we had turned a definition problem into a describing problem a step in the right direction. For the robot We can get rid of the problem “looks like a human” because it’s not made of cells therefore not human. This does not describe how it acts like nor talks like one (by talks what I mean it’s more like think like one rather then actually talking like). Then I thought that a system can’t be a thing that exists because that would be a product of something that exists, example rods and cones are real, a color is not. Make the definition follow the rules.
Then I thought of what makes us unique then I thought of the brain. Perhaps a human is an organism that has intelligent consciousness? That’s a better definition for intelligent life. If we made a robot that thinks like a human the. The cells and ways it thinks will be different but it’s not entirely human. Will we be human if we uploaded our minds to an internet or a cuberverse? You will still be an intelligent figure just not a Homosapien, meaning the “human” is in the body not the mind. You could be originally human and then upload your mind to something else, remedies will define a place but ultimately the landscape will change. We are letting customs and society norms get in the way to the answer.
We must turn it into a spectrum like the did for race and gender, using the body and the mind as our x and y. The reason why the body is importance is because if the mind of an animal was placed in a body of a human then that will not be human even if it looks like one. Thus there must be something human about both body and mind.
What I think is human
A human has a conscious mind with a body that of a hairless ape. If the bot was made of body and had a brain that of a human then the programmer like a mom or dad had coded life into the bot. Even if how they got the answer if it was qubits or neurons than it’s a human, even if it was not flesh It still will be human. Think about it like this I would not what to fuck a cat with a human mind, or a human body with a dog mind, Im not a zoophilic person. I had found a definition that makes me happy send a loop hole or any thought on this thank you for reading this in our finite time.
