Do you think that our entire personality and tastes are simply a product of our experiences and the traumas we’ve gone through? when I was a kid, I lived in a sort of ghetto and had a little gang or something like that, it wasn’t a bad thing, but I wonder if I had never moved to the city and had stayed in that environment, would I be a completely different person today, someone i wouldn’t even recognize ?
this makes me think that we don't actually have souls, and maybe you're an incel loser because they programmed you that way, and it really isn't your fault

You’d be a different person if you lived a different life, but I don’t see how that means souls don’t exist.

not really
your behavior might become dictated by that temporarily, but (You) are not your raped brain or your raped body
and yeah systematic trauma over years can make people into golems but it's unnatural & not them, they'd slowly return to their proper forms, if disfigured, once the trauma stopped
>this makes me think that we don't actually have souls, and maybe you're an incel loser because they programmed you that way, and it really isn't your fault
those are three completely different lofty statements
- we don't have souls
- you're a loser because you were programmed
- it's not your fault
i'll let you guess what i think about each one

Yes but also no because God gave you freewill to choose
>>
the brain adapts to environment, for better or worse
it can work for you or against you
it can adapt to trauma or good conditions
but (You) can decide whether to be conquered by your brain or whether it will be subordinate to you, an example is people who overcome drug addictions vs people who let it take them
and this is why i hate "you ARE your brain, everything is nothing, you're a byproduct of chemicals" because regardless of how literally true it is, it tends to make people let go or submit themselves to an ORGAN which is EXTERNAL to their real self
you're not your brain, you're not your dick, you're not your nose for powder, you're not your emotions, you HAVE these things but you are not them

because that means that essentially there’s no difference between you and a retarded nigger and everyone else, so there’s nothing that makes you who you are, the concept of a soul becomes unnecessary

do you see how this carries something submissive/nihilistic to it, even though unstated?
it's dangerous, man

You could grow up in the exact same environment as a retarded nigger and come out of it completely different than they did. What would be the difference maker then? Why would you come out different under the exact same circumstances? You can't control your environment but you can control your reaction to it.

So I’m not a different person after all, I’m just the same person reacting to different events, but in the end I’ll always come to the same conclusion

If it's all predetermined it doesn't matter, right? Par for the course, we were meant to be ruled like animals, there was no other outcome.

I'd say reacting to the same thing/situation as somebody else in a different way is what makes you different.

Cope, you have no soul loool, how do you know that reaction isn't also fabricated ?
>>24223101
I don't know if such programming exists in the first place

Of course it matters, but if the environment is what decides who we are, what makes us different from animals that act on instinct?

Because otherwise everyone would have the same reactions, yet people are different. What ultimately makes you different is you, not just the environment you were born into, although it does heavily influence you. Nothing can take away from the choices you make, and that’s what gives you a "soul," or whatever you want to call it. I don’t really believe in God or anything, so I’d say it’s more about free will or something.

It doesn't, so why do you think your predetermined animal life has value? Because you feel good sometimes?

While i do believe that personality and etc are pretty much determined soley on your enviornment, you still have the choice to pull yourself up from being a chudcel white supremacist loser. Humans still have free will to a point and you still have overall control over your own life

Identical twins who where separated describes their upbringing very similarly even though they were objectively very different. If you have identical twins grow up together they will chose to differentiate themselves from their twin. If they grow up separately they become extremely similar. It's a survival strategy not to be clones in case whatever they do is shit then both fail when they grow up together. There's loads of studies on this. Socioeconomic factors does not exist, it's all genetics.

What if one of the twins gets brutally molested every day for a decade? Would those Socioeconomic factors exist?

im not disagreeing with you, atleast not that much, i aknowledge that genetics is king as the most deterministic factor, i just humbly suggest that enviroment can play into the development of a human being to some extent

Ah yes, some of that is needed. I suggest you start hanging on /biz/. I live like Ingvar Kamprad but so far I've amassed 10 million and don't even use my whole pay check even with a stay at home wife and 2 cars. Renting is definitely suggested in our communist heaven.

They are definitely worth everything in my life, although I'm chronically tired. Hoping to have my first day off in 4.5 years soon with a baby sitter in the summer. These days I try to do as little as possible outside house chores, work and playing with the kids. I would go to the gym if I wasn't chronically sick from their germs.
