Any books that argue against biological determinism? I'm really feeling down because my ancestors were farmers.

Mine too. I wish I could be a farmer. I can smell when the rain's coming. But it's like a parlor trick, useless.

Biohistory might interest you. It's still biological determinism of sorts, but it involves the epigenetic responses to early childhood conditions.
Henry Long
basic philosophy to argue about determinism in the first place which is utterly retarded and one layer of the scientific slave master mentality.
People really thing the plebs were given the evolution mindset for anything other than to make themself feel worthless and defeated as this mindset works in favour of the strong and powerful. (social Darwinism in action)
Camden Howard
Everyone's ancestors were farmers
Blake Cooper
If your ancestors were peasant farmers you wouldn't have scrawny arms.
Austin Stewart
What
Jonathan Morales
I'm 2-3 generations separated away from farmers though. All of my grandparents with the exception of my paternal grandmother were farmers who were given homes in the city under Krushchev's reforms. My mother became a translator and my father a failed businessman turned handyman. No one in my family went to university.
Michael Bell
How does this even work in the first place. IF there is biological determisnm at work, then how did one human rise above the other? Was one humans dna "better" than the other human dna? How come?
Did we have engineers from the beginning of society or what? Scientists know a lot less than they pretend to do. The differences had to evolve and it most likely has to do with enough nutrients for proper development through generations not some mystical differences in human dna.
If something like biological determinism has the ability to depress yourself, than it is working as intended: keeping the plebejan masses on their tracks:

How the hell is biological determinism depressing? It just is.
Jeremiah Hernandez
Biological determinism is pretty much abandoned by scientist rationalwiki.org
Dylan Williams
Lmao you're a minority aren't you?
Zachary Davis
Nothing wrong with being a farmer, user. Nor does it mean you can't be literary. Thoreau wrote Walden in the middle of a heavy span of bean farming, after all... many such cases.
Luke Allen
lol
basic common sense.
And who the fuck are these people sourcing rationalwiki? Fucking ASSfags are swarming this place, and they're worse than the trannies.

are you being serious?
Jeremiah Wright
I see everyone complain that rationalwiki is shit, but no one can make a counter argument against it.
Oliver White
You've never known twins have you?
Thomas Perez
lmao
Jonathan Phillips
If you actually browse rationalwiki Im not even going to speak to you
Dylan Carter
Bill Nye is a hack though.
But rationalwiki does a good job handling crackpot conspiracies, holocaust denial, and tankie revisionism.
Carson Campbell
>mfw anons feel smarter than others for believing in a far right conspiracy theory
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahhaahahahahhahahhahahahahhaahhahahhahahahhahahahah
John Reyes
who cares, my ancestors were all shepherds, sailors, and criminals, you don't see me making shitty threads
Christopher Jenkins
What kind of asshole cant smell the rain coming?
Blake Brown
your mother is probably very smart

nah they have a pretty clear neoliberal slant

>This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical pre-dominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforc’d obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whore-master man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star! My father compounded with my mother under the Dragon’s Tail, and my nativity was under Ursa Major, so that it follows I am rough and lecherous. Fut! I should have been that I am, had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardising.
Robert Martinez
peasants are despicable
Anthony Watson
Any of Camus/Nietzsche would work. Both are about fighting against apparent meaninglessness and chaos by both accepting/submitting to the concept of meaninglessness while acknowledging that they could still rise above it.
If you're down, just remember that in the question of anything being absolute--for example, biological determinism--it either is or it isn't. If it is absolute, then no point in worrying about it That'd be like worrying if the sun was going to come up--totally out of your control.
If it isn't absolute, then you're worrying over nothing. Don't sweat it, bro. You're gonna be fine.
Landon Miller
Read Stoner you farming bitch
Caleb Bell
You’re a Brazilian communist
Christopher Green
I'll hang your family from an overpass and flay you in the streets faggot. We'll have a ticker-tape parade with the greasy strips of what used to be your bonesleeves.

pffffff HAHAHA hey farm boy go shuffle up some cow shit Hahahaha
Juan White
And? The mother of my father grew up on a farm which she had to leave early due to historical circumstances, he still got a university degree and quite a good Job.

Metapedia is about as balanced and true on these topics.
Brody Bailey
I thought they accepted things like evolution? Or is rationalwiki run by creationists?
Jack Price
>No one in my family went to university.
how is this a bad thing? many capable and great men lacked formal education
Logan Perry
Minority in terms of ethnicity? Definitely not. Minority in terms of questioning the cult of sciencetism. I think so.
You are probably an anglo who treats white as a race.
Noah King
If biological determinism would have been true how come the nobility of europe was BTFO'd and became poor so quickly?
Hunter Perry
Marcello?
David Cruz
white is a race, like asian is a race, like niggers are a race. they're called caucasoids (europeans, middle easterners, indians, north africans), mongoloids (asians), and negroids (sub saharan africans)
Chase Moore
if rational wiki says so, then it must be.
Amen.
Grayson Ward
>le white man face
Ayden Perez
definitely a subhuman negroid, not a mediterrenean.
Mason Nguyen
they are classifications in anthropology
Jose Smith
Try reading Steven pinker, he argues against a lot of that
Daniel Walker
The major races are more accurately sub species. Negroids don't even have the same reproductive patterns as everyone else and significantly less prefrontal cortex development.
Alexander Perry

Hunter Bell
Just question the epistemological foundation of those assumptions, read german idealism.
Nicholas Turner
Seems like most writers I read about come from great families or at least were university educated themselves
Austin Wood
Colton Howard
You forgot melanasians and polynesians.

This is barely a step above being a tripfag.
