How has human nature changed over time in the west?

>>1949371
We wouldn't know because we have yet to find a way to scientifically verify what human nature actually is.

>>1949371
People were dumber and more conservative when more communities were more rural. That's the simplest, solidest thing we can say.

>>1949385
>Science

>>1949371
It hasn't. Civilization and culture fall on the nurture side not the nature side.

The closest thing to altering human nature is Jewish eugenics where white people kept Shoahing all the dumb Jews and Jews selectively bred themselves to be smart.

Genetic determinism is false, so no.

Considering shitposting has existed since at least the Greeks, I'd say human nature is pretty much unchanged for a least 2500 years

>>1949399
>dumber
>more conservative
You repeated yourself.

not much

we still slaughter each other like animals

>>1950581
>like animals

Gee Anon, it's almost like humans are animals too or something?

Why call it human nature if it changes over time or with culture?

>>1950687
Thus there is only one true way to change human nature

Trans-humanist singularity WHEN?

>>1949371
In what way? People tend to be less religious. There are some regressive trends that I'm not sure are important. (radfem microaggression, safespace, cult. appropriation nonesense, anti-vaccers etc.) Race, gender, sexuality and other trivial factors play less and less of a role in social standing. All this is not exactly "human nature" however. What you are asking is too vague.

what? human nature doesnt change fag, if it did it would stop being human.

religious sentiment waxes and wanes over time

if you add "secular religions" this is even a case in modern times

>>1950845
Sure, traditional religious sentiments are at a decline is what I am saying. Nothing prevents another belief system hailing from whatever scientific, pseudoscientific, spiritual, or plain "trendy" way of thinking to surface in the future. /pol/ is ironically worshipping meme magic as we speak...

>>1950881
>ironically

Yeah, about that...

our entire societal superstructure relies on coercion and the threat of violence

all social interactions are dictated by bullying and wanting to fit in

shit hasn't fundamentally changed at all since the caveman days other than concepts of rights and legal protections but they're enforced at the barrel end of a gun anyway

>>1949371
removing lead from petrol has probably made people less impulsive

>>1950897
but muh communism

Due to the rise of the internet the entire world is now becoming part of a network similar to the beginnings of a brain, soon we shall all become part of the singular entity known only as braxalougagrogagarm and then transcend into the next plane of existence. Desu desu

This. Another way of summing it up is that "Real life is highschool" or "Everywhere is highschool" or "Everything is highschool".
