10. actually now I'm curious

debunking aside, please educate.

Aren't social constructs actually emergent behaviors? That would mean that you wouldn't code for a complex behavior but for the simple set of reflexive or instinctive behaviors that combine to form those seemingly more complex observations.

I think I can roughly see how you would get to a neurological "module" from that; build the machine and the chips at the factory, let the user evolve the software. Hardware is heritable, software is not.

Something like that?
