will post some Shakespeare

Let them come.
They come like sacrifices in their trim,
And to the fire-eyed maid of smoky war
All hot and bleeding will we offer them.

Up to the ears in blood.

>>1312449

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
— To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
>>
>>1312453

Could great men thunder
As Jove himself does, Jove would ne'er be quiet,
For every pelting, petty officer
Would use his heaven for thunder;
Nothing but thunder! Merciful Heaven,
Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt
Split'st the unwedgeable and gnarled oak
Than the soft myrtle: but man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.
>>
>>1312460

Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back,
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion,
A great-sized monster of ingratitudes:
Those scraps are good deeds past; which are devour'd
As fast as they are made, forgot as soon
As done

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
>>
>>1312485

These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.

>>1312499

Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth,

We are all just a bunch of atoms!!!
I am sorry but the fact we are made of atoms is completely unrelated.
Atoms work according to their own rules. People work based on completely different rules and never shell the two meet because it would not be pragmatic.

Sure you can say, well what if we have a powerful computer that can simulate all the atoms in your body.
This would not give us anything, it will not explain anything because what is practical to explain about human behavior is not decided by the behavior of single atoms but instead by huge groups of atoms.
Knowing what every atom in your body is doing at every moment will not teach us about you.
We will have to group many atoms together and simulate their flow to explain how your cells are operating and evern at this point simulating every single atom is pointless because its redundant information.
Organisms cannot be reduced to their parts.
Much like sociology cannot be reduced to psychology...
I hope you understand what im saying cause its not easy to understand.

She said that her and her man they had the worst sex
I used the jelly so her booty hole hurt less
Then I pulled out and I skeeted on her church dress

Leave 'em looking messy in the presence of God
Plus you know my willy is impressively large
So I always hit the coochie up aggressively hard

For several centuries the British have ravaged the world. They have spilled the blood of Americans and Europeans, Asiatics and Africans in their mad race for conquest and loot. This they achieved, not by military prowess, but by guile and terrorism, and by a careful selection of whom and when to attack. They are not a fighting race, and in all their history, never once have they won a war, when alone, against a first-class power. The only time they attempted this was against America, when Lord North and his British troops were ignominiously kicked into the sea by the young, half-armed and half-trained Americans. It is quite true that the British have always been one of a winning combination, as when at different periods they fought against Spain, France, Russia, Germany and Italy, but one looks in vain through the pages of history for a single instance of success when challenging alone a country of even half Britain's strength. Britain's proud boast is that she has fought seventy-seven wars in the last four hundred and fifty years, but her jingoes always omit to mention that ninety percent of those victories were the slaughters and massacres of tribesmen from the jungles of West Africa to the rice-fields of China. When I was a schoolboy our geography told us that the British possessions were colored red, and the large map of the world on the school wall and the globe were patched deeply with that color. It was only later in life that I could appreciate how appropriate that color was.

are you seriously arguing that evolution doesn't exists and that DNA doesn't determine the guidelines in which we behave? sure I also believe consciousness is more complex than a bunch of neurons being connected to each other but the human behavior is definitely conditioned by nature either way
>>
>>1314661
How has that got anything to do with what i wrote?

DNA is a completely different structure than an ATOM and it is unique in the way it related to the rest of the organism.
It has its own rules and behaviors and movements.
>>
>>1315119
and again, simply treating DNA as a molecule will not explain anything about anyone. You have to understand the algorithms and ways of operating specific to it. It cannot be reduced to atoms and their physical rules nor can anything else be reduced to it.
The rules that govern DNA are not the ones that govern humans. Knowing how DNA relates to the body, knowing how organs work and knowing a shit ton of other rules of different operations of the body allows you to make connections between different operations on different levels but the rules by which DNA works cannot explain to you how humans operate.
Much like the rules of an atom cannot be "combined" to predict the operation of the cells.
Well it can be combined but as it is combined the rules that govern atoms no longer apply, instead new rules arise. The atomic rules become unnecessary and can be dropped. The system undergoes a qualitative change.
You can ask well what iuf we take one atom and move it around how will this change the system and the answer will be it wont because huge groups of atoms tied a certain way are not impacted by the changes of single atoms but by trends of movement of large groups of atoms.
At every stage we find out new rules and we decide what the different stages are according to our needs.
Just like with animal taxonomy(at least at the beginning) where we decide on new names when an animal is visually different enough so as to be recognized as different by our perception. We decide when it is practical to name an animal a new name based on our needs.
>>
>>1315131
Meaning that you cannot take the rules of one system, somehow multiply them and through them understand how other systems work.
Essentially by multiplying them they transform to something new.
The rules by which two atoms cooperate are different than those by which one does and the more atoms you get the more different their rules become from the rules of the working of one atom.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
>>
>>1315152
so what? we can still examine the phenomenona and cross reference it to other phenomenonas in different resolutions and perspectives, sure you can't explain why h2o = water exactly but the phenomenona still exist and is observable.
I don't get what you're trying to say, everything is connected atoms form molecules who form DNA who forms specific human design who forms human consciousness and everything it contains(for example emotions, instincts, intelligence) which forms individuality which forms human behavior which forms culture

Appeals to "nature" are fucking retarded.

Culture is in our nature, social roles and expectations are in our nature. It is the contribution to that culture, the manner of fulfilment of social roles and our deviation from expected norms that make us unique, not some woo woo pseudo-mystical quality imbued in us at birth by """""nature""""".
