  • Ok. I thought I'll clear things up. Yes I had received the relevant responses and I'm happy with the answers I got.

    But I'd like to bring attention to comments like yours or the one prior to it, because I see such comments throughout lemmy. It assumes the worst from someone's post/comment and gives a negative spin for the discussion.

    My question was genuine and if you must know it arose from my curiosity that if there will be a language that I cannot be 100% fluent in even if I try. Thought I'd ask with others.

    But now I'm wondering if any of my comments were offensive and reading through them again I don't think I was (hence this response). Again since I'm a non native English speaker, I apologise if it were.

    But the whole discussion has moved away from the original point. I had never heard of Eugenics, which from the little I read now, are deeply disturbing concepts. I'm sad that my question could be compared to it.

    The point is to ask stupid questions here. And mine was stupid enough. I got my responses from others. But please stop this trend of putting words into people's mouths and negativistic spin on things. It doesn't brew a healthy community. People will fear asking questions here (or anywhere in Lemmy).

  • No idea what race theory is. But what you say does makes sense. As an adult, yes it is mostly dependent on not being used to. But as another user pointed out, there are some languages with clicks in it that are difficult for someone outside the community to speak.

  • May be. Would things like facial structure impact the fluency of the language ?

    But I'm wondering more about communities than ethnicity. For example, my native language is difficult (not impossible) for someone brought up outside the community to speak.

    My question is are there languages that one cannot be fluent in even if you are brought up in that community.

  • Sorry that is not what I'm asking. Of course anyone can learn skills. But there are certain mannerisms that are imprinted on us because we are from a certain community.

    My question is if there exists a language that let's say among two children (one from the same country, but one from a different one) going through the same upbringing, but the non-native child cannot be as fluent as the native child ?

  • I stopped using reddit after they dropped the bomb on the devs and I'm not a fan of the company.

    I understand the hatred towards them, but this is definitely expected from a company like reddit, and any other social media for that matter. As users we must be aware that we don't own the content in their platform.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the same story comes from Instagram tomorrow, though I suppose there will be a bigger outcry then.

  • Ok. I understand what you mean now, but I disagree on the correlation.

    If someone is not religious, they could still be morally advanced. In the modern world people are tending to prefer reason over faith. I would even argue it is way better now that people are directly discussing philosophies rather than following the constructs of religion around it.

    If someone is religious in the true sense, their way of life following faith in God also advances them morally. How this works depends on the religion of course. But as I mentioned earlier this tends to create a form of groupism.

    So a person being religious or not doesn't directly mean they are morally advanced or not. I'd say lack of moral advancements are due to other factors, like the evolution of society on top of technology.

  • Where did I say it prevents monopolies ?

    Where I'm from if it goes public I'm sure the govt is going to take advantage of it with piss poor speeds. When it's private, at least there are companies competing with decent speeds even though it's expensive. It's a choice between the lesser of two evils.

  • Sorry I don't understand your point. The question was about enlightenment. One doesn't necessarily need religion to walk towards it.

    Also religion is a terrible way to deal with war. It's simply a form of groupism that just brews more conflict. But that's a separate discussion and off topic to the question I feel.
