Well then, for the sake of argument, say I was born in the wild and have never come in contact with any societies; would that, in your opinion, make me an individual?


Well, it certainly would make you more dominated by your genes and instincts. How do you define individuality anyhow? Is individuality to be dominated by your genes and instincts instead of being dominated by the data your neural net has assimilated from society?

I define individuality as being an individual being. :tongue:

Why would being raised in the wild make me any more or less on an individual than being raised in society? Either way, I am still composed of the same atoms.

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

Okay, but what atoms belong to you then, and what atoms don't? Atoms have wave properties and interact with each other in complex ways, so I think it would be very difficult, if possible at all, to determine what atoms belong to you, and what atoms don't.

Your post made me think of that song in the movie Night at the Roxbury:

What Is Love?? Baby don't hurt me ...don't hurt me...No more...
