VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I object! You can please all of the people all of the time: its called sex. In hegemony thats not true, "you can please all of the people all of the time until people come up with new systems"The point is, everyone was happy with v1, it had some flaws; thats true but v1 was most fun.

I wasn't, therefore, by your system, we need a new system, but by the new system we don't need a new system, since a couple of people being unhappy isn't important any more. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 the point i'm trying to make is that the statement is not true for everything, humans are evolved to enjoy it - only cultural situtations would stop that. Also, would this statement work."You can keep all of the people content all of the time"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archimage_a Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 humans are evolved to enjoy itThat is a falsehood.Evolution is a more complicated mechanism than just reproduction....If that were not so then sex wouldn't exist, everything would be about asexual reproduction and creating as many copies of yourself as physically possible.An example would be Black Swans, which mate for life, if their partner dies directly afterwards then that is, usually, that.Unless you propose that all animals have an innate culture (Since it has been observed in captivity, so learning it hasn't happened), something that even we humans lack, then we must assume that it runs much deeper than that.Asexuality also exists within Bi-sexed speices, so it is not purely human in any case... If we accept that, then the most probable cause is a genetic predisposition, something that we have evolved, over time.We could have a long, drawn out, conversation about the benefits of asexuality, but we would have the underlying concept wrong...evolution isn't about benefits or disadvantages, its about getting hundreds of trillions of genes to randomly line up to create a person. Natural Selection biases people who have benefical genes to survive, but that doesn't mean that they definately survive or people with 'bad' genes to die out...After all, I have a strong desire to have children, yet am Asexual, and if I was gonna be sexual, I would be gay...So, for me to have kids I would have to overcome two major revulsions in my life...and I am probably willing to do that...So my genes can still be passed on, even though, from an evolutionary view point, they should not be past on. So the idea that ALL Humans have evolved to enjoy sex is an entirely faulty assumption. It may be true for billions of other humans, but not for everyone. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Retech Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Also, sexual reproduction is beneficial to some species because it helps the spread of beneficial genes. For example, if Archi had a gene for...wisdom and he were asexual, then only the Archi clones would have wisdom. However, if Archi found an Arcshe, then the beneficial gene would be past down the the offspring, while on the other side of the gene pool, Hex wins a Darwin award for being infected by zombie meat which he tried to use to disguise himself.

The Dark Lord Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 To be honest, with new technology that is beginning to emerge, the need for sexual reproduction will be a thing of the past; sex will soon become something that's merely for recreation or intimacy. Probably about 50 years or so from now, you can just go to a clinic, give them some of your DNA, and have them make you a physically/intellectually superior child. Of course, there would be ethical and financial barriers associated with that, but still... SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

Seraphi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Asexuality aside, I also have misanthropic tendancies; Even if I wasn't asexual, I still would not want to have children, and therefore, would stay out of relationships anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Ross, you're not asexual, you just never have had sex.And feel absolutely no attraction to either gender. That is the literal defenition of asexual. Either that, or reproducing by splitting, an ability which, as far as I am aware, I do not have.

The_Mather1 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Though genetics aren't as simple as guaranteed inheritance. My children (if I get any (which I hope)) will inherit a blue eye gene (since it is recessive and I have blue eyes) but has a 50% chance of inheriting hyperlipidimia.
