Wow, I'm digging this. When my son was born my first thought looking at him was "This is not a blank slate" (I never knew the term used in psychology before) As my son has grown without his father around to teach him, it is profoundly remarkable how much my son is like his father. Blank slate theory is completely false!
Look at a feral child and that is enough to see that the mind is an "empty slate", naturally the structure is different than other animals, and this structural potential gives humans the ability to learn in ways different from other animals, however it doesnt guarantee that they will do so, that is dependent on the environment. Don't misunderstand their arguments.
...He denies tabula rasa (blank slate theory) but also denies that actions are determined by an innate human nature and instead says that human development is determined by a strict set of rules that, combined with life experience, determine a specific human being's nature.
Haha! The second this video mentioned language I thought to myself "no way they're going to use Chomsky -- a collectivist -- to refute collectivism based on an assumption of human nature, which Chomsky himself believes is false", and sure enough, they did. To paraphrase Chomsky, "human nature manifests itself in many ways. If we gave free reign to serial killers they'd run the place"...
You apparently didn't watch the whole film, Anubis. Joseph says very pointedly that "there are no human instincts" and he has "tons of science to back that up". THAT IS BLANK SLATE THEORY, in case you were wondering. Also, you missed the entire point of the film, which is that certain psychological dualities ARE inherent, which allows us the capability of choice. Environmental circumstances have nothing to do with these inborn qualities,as we show in the film.
Actions and Behavior are entirely dependent on the situation.
No blank slate, no human nature. Peter Joseph never said he agrees with the blank slate theory, because it's wrong.
None of you seem understand that we behave based on our CURRENT environmental circumstances, mixed through what way we've been TAUGHT. Not Blank slate. It is ALWAYS the situation at hand that determines how we act.
Politicians aren't greedy and power hungry simply and solely because of some human nature. They still have to be elected to power, or steal that power to become powerful. Thus, the situation still determines the behavior, NOT HUMAN NATURE. AND Not what "blank slate" theory suggests either.
Episode 2 of this series will be entitled; "Good, Evil, And Moral Relativism." We are putting it together now, but it may take a couple months. In the meantime, we will be producing some short films on various subjects.
Actually, Peter Joseph says point blank in the film that there are no human instincts and that he has "tons of science to back that up...." Which is blank slate theory. He also says that all our behavior comes from the influences of our environment, which is also blank slate theory. Just because he doesn't come right out and say "blank slate theory", it doesn't mean that's not what he is promoting.

Either way, one can never convey this information over text even in a million years.
I'll never be able to argue my point here. But i will tell you this video is totally wrong

Peter Joseph doesn't believe in the Blank Slate. He is talking about value systems.

3:17 Is this a quote from someone?
ThoughtOnFire21 2 years ago
The makers of the film wrote it.
Pymander81 2 years ago
Correct, that first quote is our own sort of introductory statement. We felt it would be more effective to print it onscreen.
generally, if we are quoting something or someone directly, we will cite the reference below.
Thx for watching! keep tuning in
