I have been thinking about that for a while now. Do you have any thoughts on that?
My starting point is: evolution is real, we are mamals, we are a type of mammal called a chimp, chimps are genocide / war creatures it is all they do (as do we), to understand a human you understand him like you would a dog, a cat, a horse ... or a chimp.
I have read a lot of philosophy, politics, math, science, but most of that reall is in the esoteric weeds of the issue.
The real stuff is happening in evoultionary psychology, these are the weeds we need to study.
Buuuuuuuuut, while we can learn a lot form evolutionay psychology (Gaad Saad may be a jew but thankfully he doesn't fully understand the full scope of his work and how useful it is) we don't operate on that level. We opearte a couple of levels above. I have noticed that all of us men have not been taughted and trained to to fight, how to speak in front of people, how to lead, how to manage risk ... nor even how to manage relationships.
It's as if we are children of children whose brave fathers that had the knowledge died in a long ago war and we are having to re-learn the same lessons every generation.
What are your thoughts on this?
Finally had time to read what you wrote. My first thought is it's depressing. The layers built have been left in ruins. We don't go to war because bread and circuses now. Back then they kept order through leadership, taking risks, etc.
In my own life I see a motivation to make everyday tasks more efficient so that I spend less time and energy on them, and have more for greater pursuits. This seems to be how any animal works, if its basic needs are met it's not going to be attacking other animals etc. We just have far greater capacity to build layers and make basic needs easier to meet. All the animal stuff we're capable of, and it has its place as a fallback when our brain isn't getting things done. Machines we design also have fallback mechanisms like this when the more intelligent ones fail.
