Food For Thought: On Individuality

avatar
(Edited)

Human biodiversity is a fact. Our personalities and abilities have a significant hereditary component. One quality in which we differ from each other is agreeableness. Low agreeableness is a trait that itself is a source of variation as it makes a person want to resist any type of pressure to conform.

What is the core of our being? In my view, no such thing exists. We are layers upon layers of mental patterns, informed by varying degrees of genetic predisposition, external pressure and habits. At the core, there is nothing at all.

There is value in individuality. Paradoxically, society and not the individual is the greatest beneficiary of individual variation. Most of the time, inability or unwillingness to conform spells nothing but trouble to an individual. Individual variation is essentially nature's way of ensuring a species will not run out of variation for selection to operate on to maximize adaptability.

Humans are truly diverse, in thinking, reasoning, actions, character and so on.. The variety of traits in humans really affect our way of life.

hola amigo me gusto mucho su definición del núcleo que también considero que no existe, el hecho de escabullirnos sobre las capaz que muchas veces otros han dejado, es difícil cuando alguien toma la iniciativa de salir de la tradición de la rutina e imponer su modo de pensar en una generación , saludos
