But again, that is quite distinct from the concept of instinct.

No.

I took your use of "instinctinvely" to signify something which cannot be changed, ie. "genetically programmed". The action you described is not of that category.

Primitive reflexes are distinct from instincts because they are lost after a certain period of time, btw. If adults also suckled whenever something grazed their mouths, we would have had instincts.

You say that as though semiology and ontogeny aren't engaged in the same inquiry.

Sorry, but US political correctness monitors will have to fine you for your poor communication choice. Speech characterizable as urban African-American dialect is not permissible to Austro-Swedes. You will simple have to continue to endure the unbearable being of whiteness.

LOL!!

That was just my way of :focus:

Not like they would gain any information, right? Just make them go brain-dead that much faster. But no, the fear is that if the government goes totalitarian (and some are trying, now for a new uproar), they will take those who have posted what they call insurrection and put them away. Or what they call racism, or hate speech, or you name it. That is the fear, and it is not totally groundless.

Indeed, there are several loonies in the US who wants to rule by the bible, which is the first example of totalitarian rule in the world(the Anabaptist in a german town I can't remember the name of right now).

....not to mention that in the minds of these 'champions of free speech', being rightly called a racist hick is the same as living in North Korea.
