Stop calling it a choice: Biological factors drive homosexuality

AI is a modern problem, getting rid of negative traits is a potential problem. Getting rid of negative traits incur that something about the person or being is a disorder. That could be schizophrenia or autism, that are more considered like problems, even though these are problems that are at the core of society, not problems with the people themselves. Getting rid of these might seem logical, but they also meddle with what a person is at its core. Now moving on to things that are more accepted by the literature as non deviant genetic ‘traits’ would be homosexuality and transness. What if this defiant and deviant mode of living was to be erased by genetic modification? I’m sure the parents would be proud, but you just got rid of something that is at the core of what that person is. That is against diversity by itself. Genetic modification in the sense of eugenics or getting rid of negative traits is the same as eliminating diversity and difference, which is why Hitler picked at it so much.

I’ll elaborate even more: Arjun Appadurai implies at his “Fear of Small Numbers” that at the core of eliminating difference there is a deep desire for oneness. That those who are different are such small steps away from complete oneness and national identity. That is, I exist in the society which I identify as real, and anything against that is so close to inexistant that I could just wipe them out and be in my happy place. So close to it, but not quite. Something that Appadurai calls the state of “incompleteness”.

If there is no proper definition for what IQ is, it’s just another fallacy for normative thought. I mean by this that going through classical logic seamlessly does not incur into intelligence, even though it might incur into intellectual fitness. And then it’s all again why we have a certain model of thought of what is considered normal. This needs to exist if we are to assert “Intellectual Quality”.

Now, if we assert what is “normal” we also have to assert what is a “disorder” or “deviance”, which is what’s treated as “dumbness” here. If it is a desired “heritable” quality, that means to be included or fit to the current intellectual state.

Next to relate as to why I have compared this to the AI results. AI could predict race based on X-rays - but that means as much as IQ being heritable. A normative study for normative thought with no valid conclusions using formal logic as an excuse.

That’s true. How can we possibly measure logic if logic follows the characteristics of 1900’s classical logic? Does that translate to real intelligence or the ability to get things done? I don’t think so. What if the person just don’t want to get a IQ test? All the more, what if their qualities are not measured by finding out how many balls are inside a cube? I think classical logic doesn’t translate to intelligence.

Getting rid of negative traits gets out of control really fast. I would say more than AI.

It’s also known by the MIT that race can be identified on X-rays using AI, and that doesn’t mean much, does it?

I think the USA is taking a turn to the right more than americans care to admit. It’s hard to believe some of these news.

Also, peace on Europe depends on those 1945 treaties. Things can’t go wrong. Something needs to be thought up, and the destruction of universities don’t help. Duke University and others work hard but guess what? A lot of them are on the United States.

This symbol of freedom won’t go out without a bang. Who will support the world in these trying times? Which philosophers will bring the glue that holds us together? We need that.
