Honky, there is no such thing in the social sciences as "blank slate theory". The tabla rasa is more a general axiom that goes back to early empiricism. It’s not proven or disproven - it’s an important, but not provable, idea. It’s a philosophical proposition.

It would make you look smarter if you stopped going on about things you don’t understand.

'Social sciences' - now there's an empty proposition.

Sure is. And psychology is the emptiest proposition of all.

Gerontology, on the other hand, well.

Most useful.

ya think... obviously not.
how about a sensible comment for a change

how about the fact that it isn't political for most and many LWingers are against it for any number of reasons too? Roll Eyes

Pssst... some are even traditional Catholics Grin

Obsessing over looking smarter is another feature of the 115-120 IQ range personality. Geniuses often try to hide their intelligence so as to fit in.

And so they do. But the next time you go to mention "blank slate theory", try to remember that it doesn't exist.

Fools also try to hide their stupidity so as to fit. And so it goes. I find it best to talk about the things I know.

My reference to geniuses was an answer to an earlier Mistie post. Mistie, you see, is a Nietzschean.

Blank slate theory exists in the minds of many postmodernists. Judith Butler for example uses it to break down gender distinctions.

Hobart? Adelaide?

Don't think so mate!!!

Inbreds the pair of them.

Melbourne yes, Sydney yes.
The rest is bogan-land. Probably the one time I agree with Keating.

It exists in the mind of John Locke - that’s it.

The tabla rasa is hardly a postmodern idea, Mistie.

Honky’s just paraphrasing the genius. I know I’m in safe hands now. No need to get the IQ test out, Honky. Mistie’s in town.

Locke may have come up with the idea, but the postmodernists have run with it. Breaking down gender and pretty much every conservative idea prior to the 1960s relied on the tabula rasa. Only by removing any and all essentialism or properties of the mind could they bring down the previous conservative ideas.

Excellent question, Bobbie. Why do you start most of them?

No no no, this is a thread about the fine institution of marriage - an institution so intrinsic to the moral health of our society, its inclusion of hommersexuals is certain to bring about the end of society as we know it.

Typical.

Mistie, the empiricists ran with it - long before conservatism was dreamt up. It has nothing to do with postmodernism at all.
