In fact, I refuse to adapt to any culture, unless I genetically inherited these cultural/ evolutionary (positive) values, such as having inherited musical creativity etc. Only then I feel compelled to fulfill them systematically, regularly and adequately.
Only such positive values deserve to be developed and fulfilled. All our inherited negative traits should be dismantled as early as possible. It's the job of parents to discover and dismantle their kids negative traits with love and affection. My great aunt did it with me and albeit I served two years in the army, I could not imagine myself to be able to join ISIS and murder people in the way they enjoy doing it. I much prefer to show emotionally troubled people how to enjoy lasting, innermost contentment.
According to my reasoning it is meaning of life on Earth... what's your?

I'm surprised that you fused those two opposing viewpoints of mine together. I would think it obvious not to do so. Each to their own.

Where does deaf preconception end, and conversation begin?

What was the conversation about? Maybe I confused something?

Hey it's your thread...

...so trolling bait is it??

Or are you serious about the topic or more appropriately, the body text; your ponderings?

Because I was just trying to add to your thoughts. Possibly something more for you to think about. Of course I expected your return comments. What I didn't expect was for you to contextually chop up my content with a misleading misquote!

So, trolling are you??

Your statement is that general that I really don't know what you meant to say... Well, let me try:

Yes, the differences between us are caused by the ever variable environmental experience, both physical and mental, not only as dealt by humans, but the universe in it's totality. In other words, don't underestimate the power of the sun baking one's brains in their skull, or other such conditions.

For personal consumption I'm only interested the variables of evolution and in that regard we are stuck with the goodies and badies we inherited. Of course, if we ignore our inheritance, we are at the mercy of all sorts of variables... "environmental experience, both physical and mental". - Does this somehow fit your thoughts on that?

But largely, the human animal is in fact, "monkey see, monkey do!" Everyone wants to fit into that culture in which they were born, so as to feel accepted, included. They always seem to leave logic at the door, never inviting it in. Though there are us few that actually understand the human animal, for what it actually is, as we wish the same for everyone. Wouldn't that be nice!

Early on in my life, I came to realize that my parent's theo-philosophical reasoning was flawed. I then searched the local library for pragmatic philosophical guidance... and couldn't find it. All I was after was... some practical Grandpa advice on what I have to do next. - Finally, I had no alternative than to struggle and help myself to sort out my life... yes, the hard way.
- Does this somehow fit your thoughts on that?
I guess, our way of thinking is very different, because we come from very different lifestyles and therefore, we should go step by step and forget spitting funny remarks... because it doesn't work with me.

So a troll, it is!

You'll probably not last long!

Good Luck!
