I could have read Wiki if I wanted Wiki's idea of what it is.

And true to Wiki form if you read that ...it says nothing.

What's nature ?

In what way are human thiking, feeling and acting different from other animals ?

Isn't that just lack of experience/learning ?

If I paint your child with mustard can I put it down to human nature ?

Well to be slightly obvious i would presume its because animals are not human for a start, different intelligence levels, different survival instincts etc

is there any way of truly knowing how an animal feels and its thought process? We can watch its behaviour and make presumptions and predict what it will do next but without actually being that animal people will not know

What is human nature?

In my opinion its the thing we are all born with, its automatically knowing how to breathe, knowing how to cry out when we need help, knowing how to move, knowing how to communicate and fend for ourselves. Its completely natural however it can be taught and encouraged.

Its the life cycle, creating life, watching it grow and then dying..

I view it as a set of of instinctual reactions inherited in a species that have not been learned.

Usually as we get older most of us learn to unlearn them all until by the time we get into the final quarter of our lives we are ridiculously civilised and very boring.

Of every animal on this planet only humans do this. We are freaks of nature and probably don't fully belong on earth.

Fucking aliens and their experiments!

Do you want to know what it really is or what most people mistakenly use the term to mean?

When we demonstrate 'common sense' are we resisting impulse rather than nature ?

Actually, I said mistakenly, but that's not right..... our use of words dictates the meaning when the use becomes common place.

Hmmmm, so you you mean what the science bods use it to mean or the man in the street?

Good morning Aunty Polo.

I know what eminent writers in the field have to say on human nature and similar.

I have an idea about why the cliche is used with careless abandon.

I'd very much like to know your thoughts on either.

I shall go and brew up in anticipation.

What we blame when we do something that hurts someone else. its just an excuse to make up for our own inadequacies.

I generally chuck the phrase into the pot when I want to indicate a behaviour choice which is commonly shared across a wide cross section of society.

Whether that behaviour is really in the camp of nature or nurture is a different matter of course.

If it's a behaviour 'choice' I'm going to go with nurture.

Wouldn't 'nature' indicate lack of choice, absence of will ..... determinism? No say in the matter?

Surely both nature and nurture affect how we make decisions?

Yes both have impact. One is NATURAL and the other is LEARNED.

We are getting closer to why people do the things they do and a lot of what they do isn't natural.

Well its partly to do with consciousness, something that sets us apart from other animals.

We as humans can recognise behaviour patterns which means we can then choose which behaviours we want to follow.

What is socially acceptable or not for example, is largely influenced by mass behaviour patterns, and re enforced by generations of said behaviour.

When we revert to "instinctive", rather than "chosen" behaviours, is when we are using our human nature, I think.

Agreed and said in several ways now.....

So what IS human nature or is it easier for us to say what ISN'T human nature?

Its the animal side of us that is serving our basic needs, food, water, shelter, procreation, healing, herd instinct, can't think of anymore just this second.

Aren't food , water , shelter etc - as you say - needs rather than behaviours.

Isn't human nature a set of behaviours ?

Along with a few more complex behaviours which derive from our basic survival instincts.

Yep fair point, the human bit then, would be the things that we need that other animals don't. Like having sex for pleasure, rather than to reproduce, maybe.

Chris..... brilliant direction. I'd call that nurture.

I'd see a natural fuck as ..... taken, swift , not particularly pleasurable for the female.
