Imaging. You take person who has been abused, neglected, and or subjected poverty and you scan their brain to discover what’s up. You don’t just use ghost work mysticism you look at the actual biology.

What’s your ace score?

Here’s a practical application

Identify children at high risk for a high ace score. Use advanced imaging technology to get a picture of their brains. Correct the problematic situations and monitor the biological development of the brain and learn how to steer a course away from cognitive dysfunction where you actually monitor the source of cognition which is obviously the brain.

Whatever sorts of CBT or mindfulness meditation or changes in diet and exercise or medicine and every combination in between brain structure has to be monitored so we’re not caspering this **** with ethereal ghost theories. Any **** rhetoric that lends itself to false intuitive beliefs that emotions and behavior are intangible need to be dropped because it perpetuates the unproductive thinking that keeps real solutions out of reach. If neural plasticity and new neural pathways are supposedly being created proof through imaging should be the standard.

And yes I do think there’s a link between this language that pretends there’s a separation or dichotomy between nature and nurture is archaic, ignorant, and harmful.

Whether the behavior is homophobia, transphobia, violence, or acceptance, generosity, love - it’s all biological- it’s all brain function: language that suggests some force outside of or separate from nature or behavior that is not instinctual is counter productive.

I... I said at the beginning of this convo that you're fixated on semantics. I clarified that irl both are always hard to disentangle, but conceptually there is still a distinction to me made between factors that are environmental vs genetic. If you concede that the two always work together, which is what I said in the beginning and if what every link you've since posted has said, then you concede that both environmental and genetic influences exist. Even if it's impossible to disentangle them precisely through experiment in every single case.

Keep in mind this entire convo started cause you got pissy when I corrected you that elph was right that there is a distinction between learned behavior and instinct. Please do a frantic Google search to find some click bait pop sci article proclaiming that learned behavior is just instinct since everything is instinct.. professor hawk
