I love that bit of marvel. The archivist. The gardener. The collector. The ruminator. The gods and eternals

And the question to of what 'instinct' might mean. Which becomes ideological. And it's sensible to ask whether your beliefs on these matters are merely self serving. Or to ask if they make you a puppet of power.

What is inculcated socially? Does this serve power rather than community? Is this really just a value free inheritance of the DNA or is it something else?

Ooh that's an interesting question

Like if you're some stupid guard dog those are only your instincts cos they were bred into you by The Controllers so you would be better short circuiting yourself and just fucking off into the woods

I'm sure I've read/heard that Jagger is actually massively insecure - though I think that's more to do with not being taken seriously as the intellectual he believes himself to be.

That's why he had Brian Jones killed.

I called my second to last big poem the feed I thought it sounded really cool computers and stuff

Computers are the least cool thing ever though, especially for someone who hates nerds and science and uses a mechanical typewriter!

Terminator is a big walking computer ruled by a bigger computer called Skynet. That's cool.

Good thread lots to think about. Has kinda been said by others in here but low self esteem and shyness are as much a function of ego as arrogance, they don't stem from a lack of ego. Theyre 2 sides of the same coin, it's an obsession with how you are viewed by others, either relishing in your own glory or cowering in fear of your failures as a personality.

Being comfortable in yourself requires you to not take your ego / your idea of yourself too seriously I reckon
 
Instinct... It is an ideological question, like common sense is ideological, encoded maxims for self-preservation and survival. Survival shortcuts that are distilled from thousands of encounters with threats and opportunities.

point i was making is an obstinate child has not been intentionally socialised to be so, so their instinct to resist authority must come from elsewhere, it can save their life in certain situations and put them in jail in others

What is inculcated socially? Does this serve power rather than community? Is this really just a value free inheritance of the DNA or is it something else?

the information feeds in from all all of the above, genes set the foundations but behavioural patterns that seem innate can be encoded (pavlov). trauma can disrupt and give birth to new instinctive reactions in certain scenarios
