Yes. I think that we don't know that knowledge yet.
Of course YOU do not know this Knowledge yet. But YOU also can NOT speak for EVERY one.
Yes.

Okay.

But are you now talking about the coding of The Knowledge of Good/Right and Bad/Wrong in Life, or just the coding of the process of normal physical genetic developmental growth?
I am talking about uncoding process of the code which exists in DNA. There is no process of coding for DNA.
But soon WHY the code, which exists in dna, is the exact way that it IS will soon be realized, and thus also much better understood, by you human beings.

Understanding this WHY, better explains the actual process of coding for dna, which will be revealed soon enough also.

But HOW do you KNOW this, if, as you say, human beings still do not know how uncoding happens during the process of growth? You seem to be implying that you already KNOW that there is no process of coding for dna, yet also saying that none of you know how uncoding happens.

You appear to be telling us what the answers are, before the experiments and testing have finished on the actual object and before the actual subject is even understood.

A serial killer who enjoys killing people. Evil and good are coded inside DNA and have related distributions.
Is this an already KNOWN FACT, which is irrefutable?

Could the Knowledge of right/good and wrong/evil/bad be coded inside dna, and the reason human beings have just grown up doing wrong is only because of past experiences?

Or, are those adult human beings who do wrong, which is absolutely every one of you, partly because of genetics?

If you adult human beings do WRONG partly because of genetics, then HOW does genetics make you do wrong, and WHY would genetics do that?

Knowledge can be viewed as solid state RAM in a computer, it is gained from our past experience of reality.
As a conscious being with experience, we can read from it, add to it, and once we acquire better reasoning, manipulate it to what we consider our best effort at rationalising the 'database'.

bahman wrote: Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:04 pmWhere the knowledge comes from? Evolution, by chance. Basically those creatures who by chance have more knowledge could survive better. What do you think? Do we acquire knowledge through interacting with reality or we just got it by chance?
It is by chance that we are generally of higher intelligence than our fellow mammals, and yes of course it is via interacting with reality.
bahman wrote: Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:04 pmIn first case, how do we acquire knowledge?
Ultimately you are asking, how are we conscious? Since without any consciousness, there is no method to store the knowledge and retrieve it at will.
The question is how a limited code, DNA, can lead to such a complex structure, human brain.
Apparently there are 3 billion base pairs in the human genome. This works out to 2 to the power of 6000000000 combinations. Considering that 2 ^10> 10^3, converting, we get 10 to the power 1800000000 combinations. Some estimates place the number of atoms in the observable universe at 10 to the power 80.

So there are more cominations possible in the DNA of the human genome than atoms in the observable universe.

How limited is that?

Our current condition, for example understanding a subject, cannot have any direct impact on our DNA. Therefore, there is no coding for DNA.

Basically evolution is the result of random mutation in gene and adaptation of new gene in environment.

There are studies which show empathy in babies. I can find a few if you are interested. Experience to me also affect our behavior. The question is how much a behavior is related to genetic or experience.

It is not about number of random permutation. To me DNA is made segments each segment has a function. So one need to divide DNA to several segments to estimate total number of function DNA can perform. In case of human, the average human brain has about 100 billion neurons. Each neuron may be connected to up to 10,000 other neurons, passing signals to each other via as many as 1,000 trillion synaptic connections. This is by far bigger than number of segments on DNA.

The knowledge of right and wrong is encrypted within dna (some may say encrypted in the human brain). This will soon become realized, and HOW and WHY this knowledge is encrypted within dna will be better understood. All other knowledge is learned (grasped by the human brain), and passed on (from human brain to human brain), along the way.

When you write; Knowledge, encrypted in our brains or not.
1. Are you asking a question?
2. Are you implying some thing?
3. Is there another reason you wrote that?

If it is 1. are you OPEN to what is being said?
If it is 2. what are you implying?
If it is 3. what is the other reason?

I have said;
1. The knowledge of right and wrong is encrypted, or already encoded, within the genes. (This knowledge is yet to be fully understood by human beings but when this knowledge is fully understood then it will get passed on from brain to brain, just like all other knowledge does.)
2. All other knowledge is learned and passed on from brain to brain from what the body experiences.

In other words the knowledge of right and wrong is already KNOWN within dna, so this knowledge is already acquired. But this knowledge remains, for the moment, unconsciously known. Just like all other knowledge gets acquired, and stored within the brain, from what the body experiences when the knowledge of right and wrong becomes consciously known, grasped and stored within the brain, then this knowledge can and will be passed on from brain to brain also, from and through what those bodies experience.

If dna caused people to do what they do, then they have NO choice over what they do.

So, you have no idea how a code on dna could give rise to a behavior, BUT you are CERTAIN that code on dna causes behavior is an already KNOWN FACT, which is irrefutable.

But even KNOWING this FACT, which is supposedly already known KNOWLEDGE that is very accessible on "google", you human beings still judge and PUNISH each other, for some thing that implies that one would have absolutely NO control over. Some might say that you human beings really are a strange species.

Behaviour is a function of the mind which is responsible for choosing between freely realiseable alternatives

So, you have no idea how a code on dna could give rise to a behavior, BUT you are CERTAIN that code on dna causes behavior is an already KNOWN FACT, which is irrefutable.

But even KNOWING this FACT, which is supposedly already known KNOWLEDGE that is very accessible on "google", you human beings still judge and PUNISH each other, for some thing that implies that one would have absolutely NO control over. Some might say that you human beings really are a strange species.
Scientists are just able to show that there exist a correlation between a specific gene and a behavior. They don't know how such a gene has potentiality to become active as a behavior.

I do not think that DNA can give rise to actual behaviours as its only function is to self replicate / propagate
Well you can discuss that with bahman. They are the one saying that it is an irrefutable fact that dna can give rise to human behavior, which can be found on "google".

If you say that is what it is, then it MUST be so, right?

Yes, I agree. In some country like Canada, they hold individual who killed another one while not being aware of their action in special hospital.
But I NEVER asked any thing about what happens in countries nor what "other" people do. I specifically asked YOU, WHY do YOU judge and punish human beings, if what they do is a result of dna?
I don't think if they should be punished.
ONCE AGAIN, the question is NOT answered.

Nothing. They are however under psychotherapy.
Seems a rather peculiar thing to be working on/under considering you said that it was the evil and good code within dna that gave rise to human behavior, and this irrefutable fact could be found on "google".

Yes.


I am wondering whether all part of knowledge a person have is encrypted within his DNA or partially comes through learning.
You can wonder for the rest of your life for all i care. I have already told you WHAT HAPPENS from what i have observed. You can now either ignore it, dismiss it, challenge it, question it for clarity, or just ask other questions, or show some thing like some inquisitiveness, or do any other thing that you so please. I really do not care. But sitting there wondering is NOT going to get you any closer to understanding and knowing.
Perhaps I missed your point. Could you please refer me to the post that you explained this?
"Perhaps" you missed it???

It was in the post(s) where I more or less said the knowledge of good and bad is encrypted within dna, and where I also said that ALL knowledge CAN be and IS acquired through learning, and then passed on.

I don't know how we acquire knowledge of good and bad through experience. Do you know?
Yes.
How it is?
From what a human body experiences through any or all of the five sense becomes acquired knowledge, stored or held within the brain.

This is what human beings known as "scientists" are TRYING TO discover, to support previously held views and beliefs. However, what will be found will be different to this. Through logical reasoning what the actual Truth IS will be SEEN and UNDERSTOOD, then through scientific methods this Truth will be verified.

Do you actually remember me telling you that I may not know anything at all ?
If you did then why did you ask me a question you already know the answer to

If you had express it that way, then you would be more clear that it might not be true at all.

All you needed to write was the "I think it is so" part. If, however, you just wrote, "I think that ..." in the first place, then that would have been even better still.

I agree that all knowledge is acquired through learning but how would you describe DNA
and by what process does it actually come to possess knowledge of both good and bad ?

As: a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms.

I am not sure if there is any actual process for dna to come to possess knowledge, as the knowledge of right/good and wrong/bad has just always been encoded/encrypted in dna. The 'genetic instructions', which the dna molecule carries, is the KNOWING of what is right and wrong, for a particular living organism, or species, to continual its survival.
