Question: Why do I see Humanity as primitive and incapable of every getting pass their own differences.?

The answer is quite simple and abundantly obvious to me.

You are an egotistical jackass. You probably are an expert at depicting shortcomings and flaws in all that you purvey but completely inept at deriving solutions to anything.

Question: In human thought, which necessarily came first, induction or deduction? Surely, induction because deduction only checks formal consistency?

Inductive reasoning (as opposed to deductive reasoning or abductive reasoning) is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is probable, based upon the evidence given.

Many dictionaries define inductive reasoning as reasoning that derives general principles from specific observations, though some sources disagree with this usage.

The philosophical definition of inductive reasoning is more nuanced than simple progression from particular/individual instances to broader generalizations. Rather, the premises of an inductive logical argument indicate some degree of support (inductive probability) for the conclusion but do not entail it; that is, they suggest truth but do not ensure it. In this manner, there is the possibility of moving from general statements to individual instances.

When humans don't have answers, they tend to invent them. This is why we have religions in my opinion.

Question: Which is more likely... judging people by what they DO know or what they don't know?
