[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Faheemdunkers: [qb] Badumtish, that wasn't the point at all. The point was -- if you use crisp logic, [i]everything[/i] is a social construct, including reality itself and individuals. However as Pinker and others show, the whole premise here is a fallacy. Reality or the world you interact with is not a two-valued system (0, 1) but has multiple values, hence "categorization does not require discreteness" (Sarich & Miele, 2004). If you want to be consistent with your logic, you must also claim individuals, cells and quarks are social constructs, and reality itself. You don't do this though. This is what Pinker criticizes: People only select certain categories, over others, to deny because certain concepts/categories are social taboos. [/qb][/QUOTE]“quantitative differences are small in biological terms, and they are found to a far greater extent among the individual members of an ethnic group or race than between ethnic groups or races”-Steven Pinker you should use this quote to change your life the priorities of how you view things and look at individuals first instead of your preconceived notions [/QB][/QUOTE]
