Then it isn't a contract. Thanks for admitting it.
Do you ever tire of playing your juvenile word games izzy? -- I'm starting to wonder about how based on reality anything you post can be. You don't write like a math PhD who is concerned about religion, truth & credibility. -- And:
--- You have a really hang up about Hobbes, even though no one here is defending him. Weird obsession.
Orwell was right about one thing: ignorance is strength. Since you know nothing about the theory of "social contracts,"
Yet another in a long line of unsupported juvenile "yo momma" type comments.
of course the name of the guy that invented it would mean nothing to you.
I've read enough Hobbes to know I don't much agree with him. Why you obsess about him however, - escapes me.
Your ignorance makes you invincible.
Stark raving..
Once again, ignorance makes you invincible. Feel free to point out any error I may have made concerning the evolutionary history of humans.
I was commenting on your weird bit about gerbils, izzy. Read much?
Try something you've never tried before. Try saying what a contract is, what a "social" contract is, and how the Constitution is one. You'll find it eye opening.

On the contrary, you're the one who expressed incredulity that I should keep mentioning Hobbes in this context. Such incredulity can only mean one thing: you don't understand where Hobbes fits into the picture. Which is consistent with the fact that you've never tried to define "social contract," and appear not to know what one is. I, on the other hand, have defined it several times now.

That's why I mentioned the invincibility of ignorance. You're incredulous that I should claim that we're descended from a creature resembling a gerbil. If you were familiar with the oldest known placental mammal, Eomaia Scansoria, you would also know that it did indeed resemble a gerbil. Here's another picture for you:
As I said, your incredulity can only be attributed to ignorance. The pattern is quite consistent. I remark that tribal structures, which are supposedly "social contracts," are in fact found in every species of mammal, and hence by inference were found among Eomaia Scansoria some 75 million years ago.
This proves that social structure is not at all the product of rational thought, but is rather the evolutionary product of parental caretaking. If no thought is involved, then it's abundantly clear that no agreement is involved. And if no agreement is involved, then whatever it is, it certainly isn't a contract. When you keep asserting otherwise, with no attempt at proof, you're crediting the human mind with something that has much more to do with the human breast.
