It's important to acknowledge that the mind of an infant is not a tabula rasa or a blank paper. There are innate structures that allow you to acquire language and other cognitive abilities. With the mind being a blank paper, Locke probably refers to specific experiences without discarding innate structures.
If we don't have any innate knowledge then how can we resolve Zeno paradox, that says that if we don't know something and then we come across a thing and we recognize it something understandable so how can we say that this is that thing which we don't know, as we don't know that thing!!
Professor iam from India and yesterday I was listening some love songs and singers usually express their feeling in lyrics , and those lyrics described how I felt , why things are relatable? Why every 21 year old running after girls ? Why everyone in the age category doing the same thing ? Why everybody experiencing the same experience? For instance , you are experiencing what every guy at your age experienced . I don't know whether these questions are making sense to you or not but these questions are bothering me and I wanted to ask somebody knowledgeable.
There's no singular answer to your questions. Obviously one is biological drives and genetic manifestations that change as we develop over life. Additionally, people are driven to follow society and others like a herd; it provides protection from danger and predictable patterns of behaviour that prevent anxiety arising from people having to intake and discern between infinite variables and angles of information. Perhaps most pertinent to your question could be Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious; that all humans have a similar psychological blueprint that is tied to our human experience and is passed down to future generations. Archetypal characters are manifestations of our collective unconscious link to archetypes; ie we all understand a misfit hero who takes up the mantle of greatness and defies odds to achieve greatness because that archetypal character lies within all of us. That is why light, dark, hero, evil, trickery, deception, bravery etc are all archetypal themes experienced in all art; not just characters. Music, painting, dance, life stages and our perceptions; they all reflect the collective unconscious in a meaningful way that makes us get in touch with the true depths of human experience and beyond the mundane experience often thought of (falsely) as life. We are all connected by our interelatedness to our human experience and this can explain a lot of seemingly irrational enjoyments that human engage in. Hope some of that makes sense.
@@Psyaii because your answer has provided me a map or idea where to look for my answers , and it never happened before,you seem like a intelligent person so i thought to connecting with you.
@@shadows1531 Ironically a large part of knowledge often comes from solitude and reflection, so unfortunately I don't have many ways to connect right now. If you have any other questions though I'm happy to try and help.
Just as the absence of a mask may carry the implication of scientific idiocy and your enslavement, utterly, to a room -temperature IQ leader of an idiocracy.
@@kennethshouler3055 Did you read the box of the masks and how they don’t protect against viruses? Did you notice the sides and tops of masks are usually open? Did you consider that people can vape through masks and viral particles are much smaller?
