Baba Brinkman - Hypothesis 3 (Social Constructivism) lyrics
[Baba Brinkman - Hypothesis 3 Social Constructivism lyrics]
Of course evolution is true!
It’s one of the central planks
Of the modern humanist view
And science is an important tool if
You wanna fly to the moon
But on the subject of human nature
Darwin is decidedly mute
Why? Because humans evolved
Language and culture and for these things
Biological explanations falter
Because behaviour can be altered
In infinite ways
So the brain is like a lump of
Clay just waiting for a sculptor
That’s why sociobiology is so dangerous!
Instead of celebrating the diversity of
Human symbols and languages
They think it’s all chained
To genetic entanglements
Which means there’s no room for
Change and constant moral evasiveness
If rap is based on human
Nature then we’re basically fucked!
Just prostitutes and gangsters and thugs
There’s so much more we’re capable of! No way
It’s racist capitalism and patriarchy that
Makes it so ugly
It’s one of the central planks
Of the modern humanist view
And science is an important tool if
You wanna fly to the moon
But on the subject of human nature
Darwin is decidedly mute
Why? Because humans evolved
Language and culture and for these things
Biological explanations falter
Because behaviour can be altered
In infinite ways
So the brain is like a lump of
Clay just waiting for a sculptor
That’s why sociobiology is so dangerous!
Instead of celebrating the diversity of
Human symbols and languages
They think it’s all chained
To genetic entanglements
Which means there’s no room for
Change and constant moral evasiveness
If rap is based on human
Nature then we’re basically fucked!
Just prostitutes and gangsters and thugs
There’s so much more we’re capable of! No way
It’s racist capitalism and patriarchy that
Makes it so ugly
