>>12862128Newton had siblings, he had relatives. I find this mindset far too short sighted, it's one of the reason westerners are in such state of shit right now, it's selfishness. While china thinks in a more holistic way (just read Jinping's translated speeches for this) which the West seems to have forgotten. I don't think they're a prime example for what western areas should become and aren't in their own kind of shit right now but their current system is stronger and more whole. We should think about the entire societal structure and its health, not a singular genetic anomaly.
Newton's dad was a "wild and extravagant" extroverted farmer. His mom wanted Newton to be a farmer too, making him obviously an anomaly, we don't know what his kids would have been. People aren't just 'natural', if the exact combination of Newton would be born today he would be different because of society, culture and the upbringing variable he's thrusted into.
Newton was European, European people still exist. Netwon's accomplishments were also partly due to variables. I like how Spengler puts it, how societal superorganisms seem to have a sort of determinism within them where a person like Mozart would have always existed, whether it was Mozart or not (Leibniz discovering calculus independently too around the same time a little bit later). Newton was the perfect combination for its time for the ergon of calculus and a deeper understanding of physics.
He wrote and wrote, 'mimetically' transferring information for the random genetical abnormal combinations that needed his later in time like Godel and Braun. Even if Newton would have had kids they would have likely grown without proper nurture with a workaholic of a father.
