0106 Here is a picture of the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em> compared to our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0107 For evolutionary psychology, orthodox views3a<\/sub> are going to be influenced by hominin adaptations into social circles of the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>, even though, in our current Lebenswelt<\/em>, a differentiated dynamic is in play.  Indeed, social construction(3a)2aC<\/sub>, along with critical theory(3b)2aC<\/sub> and social justice(3c)2ab<\/sub>, constitute an organizational objective2aC<\/sub> in the societyC<\/sub> tier that interpellates individuals in communityA<\/sub> to enter organizationsB<\/sub>, either willingly (by voluntarily identifying onself as “oppressed”(2b)2aC<\/sub>) or unwillingly (by involuntarily being assigned the label of “oppressor”(2b)2aC<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0108 Professor Saad does not touch on the above, because this discussion extends beyond his expertise in evolutionary psychology pertinent to consumer behaviors<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These comments add value to Dr. Saad’s argument by explicitly posing how social construction(3a)2aC<\/sub><\/em> (which applies to our current Lebenswelt<\/em>) cannot fully exclude evolutionary psychology3b<\/sub> (which applies lessons about the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em> to our current Lebenswelt<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0109 What if human will in our current Lebenswelt<\/em> is influenced by innate tendencies that are adaptations to the Lebenswelt that we evolved in?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, social constructivism3a<\/sub><\/em> should not ignore that reality (rather than displace that reality beneath its own occupation of the content level of inquiry<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, critical theory3b<\/sub><\/em> cannot situate the actuality of identity as personal choice2a<\/sub><\/em> according to the potential of a system1b<\/sub>underlying a manichaean division between “oppressed”2b<\/sub> and “oppressor”2b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, social justice(3c)2aC<\/sub><\/em> cannot properly contextualize the division between “oppressed”(2b)2aC <\/sub>and “oppressor”(2b)2aC<\/sub><\/em> with the potential of protection(1c)2aC<\/sub><\/em>, because the demand for protection(1c)2aC<\/sub><\/em> <\/sub> may itself be an innate adaptive response to the existence of a system(1b)2aC<\/sub><\/em> that pretends to be an evolved social circle<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
