On Libertarianism

[Sorcerer386]

I don't think that humans are at all GENETICALLY predisposed to conditions of grouping. I just think that is how society has become, and we are taught to find "likenesses" in others in order to adapt and survive. However, grouping is the downfall of libertarianism because it is where individuality becomes lost, hence stereotypes. In the ongoing battle of "nature vs. nurture," in this case I would go more with nurture. And to loop Stevie into this, it's like she said in that interview about children today being totally antisocial with all the technology around today. This has been a theory of mine for years...technology is leading to further isolationism (can isolation be an 'ism?) and causing society to become less social. I mean, when you can talk, send mail, shop, work, and even go to school online, social behaviors tend to go away, or not be learned at all. Therefore, as I loop back to the beginning, I don't think it's in the genetics to group oneself, but socially learned.
