Inherited Memory
-
Do yu believe there is inherited memory?
For instance if u see animals, when they are born, they instantly know some things, what to do. For instance, they will know how to walk/ or learn how to walk.
Also if u notice on Discovery channel, they know how to mate, although nobody teach them.
Another thing if u notice.....among animals, for instance dogs.....certain breeds have specific characteristics...not shared with other breeds.
This is perhaps somewhat related to Buddhism philosophy...

yes and no.
because i belieb instincts can change over time due to environment and pass em on to our kids.
like a kid first come out will prefer certain shapes, people, etc, over others. these "preferences" are not taught. -

I forgot the exact examples.....something related to a specific animal......if Im not wrong, a kangaroo or something. An animal who knows to do something that has not been thought to him.

Don't is ever wonder how babies learn how to anknowledge speech and words amazing?
Its like u teach them, say Mommy... this is mommy... then in their mind they will be thinking... what does this means? what does is means? what does mommy means? why is that person pointing to herself and opening her mouth? Where does the sound come from? Why does the person infront of me look like that? What am I doing?
And to make things more complicated, what language are they using to think? And how do we teach them? Its like an endless cycle of explaination if we were to teach 1 by 1... but somehow even those less fortunate kids with learning disorder are able to understand stuff.
Its weird isn't it?
And we seem to lose this ability to understand stuff over time... when I was young, I was only taught english and chinese... but sometimes I hear my parents tok hokkien... I also dun understand... but graduatually as I listen to their conversation, I can understand abit abit... how I understand I also dunno. -
hmM~ I would say it's the natural instinct.

I really don't think buddhism is particularly concerned with genetics.Originally posted by Meat Pao:Do yu believe there is inherited memory?

This is "instinct" not memory, so please don't be confused. Buddhism is about clarity of thought, not muddle-headedness.Originally posted by Meat Pao:Do yu believe there is inherited memory?

In sociology, nothing is innate.. everything is learnt through social interactions. the only quality inborne is that we are social beings..Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:hmM~ I would say it's the natural instinct.
for eg, even a baby cries bcos it has learn that crying attracts the attention of the mother and nurse and the baby knows it can exert certain level of control over them. so it cries to get the message across . -

Of course we humans are made differently from other animals, just as every other animal is. There's nothing particularly special about being different.Originally posted by jay_rocks:hmmm, i wonder issit instinct. or issit we humans are made differently from animals? tt's why thr's this diff

It's a good idea not to mix them up and get muddle-headed.Originally posted by ahhaoz:In sociology, nothing is innate.. everything is learnt through social interactions. the only quality inborne is that we are social beings.. There's genetic memory, then there's social memory. We call that "history". -

mating is natural instinct! -
I believe i din get them wrong..Originally posted by ommyoji:It's a good idea not to mix them up and get muddle-headed. There's genetic memory, then there's social memory. We call that "history".
sociologists argue that everything is learnt.. it is because of social interactions and the quality in humans being social beings, not thru instinctive but thru that different societies and cultures form.
if it was instinctive then which ever parts of the world we grow up in, we should all behave the same way. but no. we now live in a world of diverse cultures ..
there is an incident where a girl was brought up by a group of orang utans.. and she grew up behaving like one of them.
This observation strengthens the above mentioned point.
maybe i'm not too good at this.. let the book do it for me ahha
reference material: " Ten Questions", Joel M. Charon 2004
nice book to read..
