P1 What are distinctly human instincts? https://g.co/gemini/share/cbbf28c13631

P2 – List the different kinds of instincts as academically differentiated? https://g.co/gemini/share/998e6c8839aa

P3 – Within what you just shared, what percentages of each kind of instincts are genetically determined? https://g.co/gemini/share/668822351bfb

P4 – Could we look at these three classes of distinctly human instincts as evolutionarily learned rather than individually learned learning biases? In other words are social instincts a dimension of deeper human instincts genetically ordered in initial unfoldment but differentially determined though individual learning (like language)? https://g.co/gemini/share/0c30767a3858

P5 – From this newly shared perspective re-respond to my earlier question about the genetically determined. What are the most likely genetically determined instinctual behaviors? https://g.co/gemini/share/dd0989386dbc

P6 – Human infants are genetically endowed with the innate capacity to automatically perform the complexly coordinated neuro-physical-semantic behaviors implicitly necessary to learn whatever language they are learning in. The words they are learning within the language(s) they are learning are unique to their individual learning, but the more deeply co-implicate emo-cognitive processing abilities through which their individual learning is learning is to some deeper degree analogous to emo-cognitive ability processing instincts.  https://g.co/gemini/share/941906172d18

P7 – Every mental movement from “neurons to nations” is a participation profoundly biased if not determined by prior learning. It is important to learn into the spectrum that stretches from genetically determined learning, the genetically scaffolded and instinctually oriented and biased learning, through the degrees of 1st person agency determined learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/e251a6b350de

P8 – With everything so far in mind, would you agree that we can view “instincts” as low to no agency learning biases some of which are biologically learned and some of which are behaviorally learned? https://g.co/gemini/share/7b9510cc38c6

P9 – As learning is the central dynamic of instincts, and instincts are behavioral learning biases, the most distinctly human instinct is learning. It’s our learning instincts that most make us human. https://g.co/gemini/share/88253c34763b

P10 – Keeping all of this conversation in mind and recognizing that there are very fuzzy boundaries between genetically learned, genetically determined learning, low-no agency learned learning, and agency learned learning, we need to differentiate those instincts that are inherited via our biology from those inlearned in our environments. https://g.co/gemini/share/6e133036e923

P11 – Quick tangent: the way you just used the word “nurture” is another example of “other words for learning” (our conversation: https://davidboulton.com/other-words-for-learning/) it obscures the centrality of learning – its a word that suggests an outside-in happening is the effect cause when it’s the inside-out happening – the learning that is important.  https://g.co/gemini/share/9092ebb6bc2f

P12 – Are there any studies that correlate component learning disabilities with genetic heritage? https://g.co/gemini/share/d4a09433e8b0

P13 – Describe the classes of component learning disabilities. https://g.co/gemini/share/69f91a4a22ae

P14 – If there are some foundational component learning instincts that are passed biologically rather than learned, then they are subject to all the combinations and variations and mutations of genetics. Learning disabilities could be scrambled learning instincts. https://g.co/gemini/share/60d503c808ee

P15 – So we are agreeing that the inherited genetics of the physiological becoming of humans can scramble their component inherited learning instincts into less efficient ensembles that result in inadequacies in the component learning required to process particular kinds of deep sub skills. https://g.co/gemini/share/0effa54ca1f9
