Those monkey torture videos on youtube had some very disgusting comments, I'm glad I don't get these people at all.
Thousands of years ago smoke machine kicks on
Buried deep in our DNA are these types of people, and I've often thought of exactly why. Back in the jungle our species was born in, we NEEDED shitters. The original battle royal called nature was a harsh mistress, and we carefully evolved these types to carry us through the dark ages.
Sociopaths: to help manipulate the tribe into staying together
Psychopaths: to kill to defend the tribe
General Anxiety Disorders: to stay alert for threats to the tribe
Depression: to keep the tribe realistic about existing on planet earth
Personality disorders: to unlock the creativity it takes to get out of sticky situations
Schizophrenia: to give a sense of higher purpose to the tribe through delusions of grandeur
And so on. Plus when selecting for certain genes to keep the tribe strong, there will be unintended consequences.
I hope yall enjoyed my very unscientific ramblings about this.
dna: mutates randomly
lemmy comments: This is a grand plan to help our survival as a species! without monkey torture we wouldn't have made it through the before times!
nb: I did enjoy the unscientific fan fiction, please subscribe me to more evolutionary psychology facts
Evolution isn't a plan, its the result of the RaNdOm MuTaTiOnS. Which sometimes proved useful for the survival of the being that mutated, allowing them to pass on that gene. The above comment is speculating reasons that those particular mutations might have helped them and therefore allowed them to live to breed.
