re: #140 Obdicut

The argument you made was that all human society was evolutionaly determined. If instead what you meant was that it is evolutionary bounded, that’s a truism, but fair enough. Did you mean that it was determined solely by evolution— human conscious thought having no effect, those thoughts themselves deterministic— or not?

Yes, evolutionarily bounded. And, human consciousness absolutely drives the development of society and interrelationships. I would just argue that evolution drives the development of consciousness so therefor has a secondly effect.
