Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including Lockianism, strong and weak social constructionism, and [[biological essentialism]]. Human behaviour is mostly biologically rather than socially determined, e.g. humans have cross-culturally the same facial expressions for the most part. But obviously, humans are also malleable to some extent, e.g. humans become smarter attending to school, but their ''potential'' is largely predetermined. Scientific theories like mathematics are thought to be objectively true, independent of culture. | Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including Lockianism, strong and weak social constructionism, and [[biological essentialism]].

Social constructionism can be seen in the [[anti-incels]]/[[incels]] polarization, where firmly entrenched memes and roles create a split over time and define each others actions within forums. The social roles of modern blackpill and [[anti-incel]] forums become codified almost to the point of [[incels.co|subcultural]], [[anti-incels|not traditionally moral]], and [[blackpill|quasi-religious]] activity. These social roles all groups form then define those groups over time as well as the causes they claim to represent. | Social constructionism can be seen in the [[anti-incels]]/[[incels]] polarization, where firmly entrenched memes and roles create a split over time and define each others actions within forums.

I.e. the roles that anti-incels and incels are largely constructed through an ideological war, which is admittedly kinda obvious provided these are very complex, high level, culture-dependent behaviors, not the ones that one would expect to find across many cultures. The more simple behaviors are, the more likely they can be found across many cultures. | |||
