Stress.

[spankythehippo]

I'm afraid, if they do, there will be people who will use this profound knowledge not in the way the owners of the bodies would like.

I think the opposite is true. People who are aware of their body's capabilities tend to be more health conscious. Compare this to a 300kg land monster who eats chocolate every second. Pretty sure they don't know about glycolysis. I have seen some very overweight scientists though, so it's ultimately choice. They know the science of it, but don't care.

I'm weird. I like arguing with people and fighting generally. In my day to day life I choke that back because other people are conflict averse and I need a paycheck, but I fell generally un-stressed.

I do despise the government, but I find that it is my hobby to attack without end, so I appreciate the target. Without things like gun control, abortion, war, liver disease, other hurdles, life would be so boring. I relish in stress inducing chaos an find myself spiraling into a self destructive mode when there is no stress. I feel that we are built for war and stress, averse to peace for prolonged periods of time.

"My only goal is to attack and keep coming"

This way of thinking is actually really scary. Not the government part, but the combative attitude part. Kind of like that other guy who said war led to where we are now, so war is good. It seems like your line of thinking compliments Konrad Lorenz. "There is no love without hate". Also used a pressure builds up until release model, arguing that the longer it's been since the individual was aggressive, the less of an environmental trigger that will be required to provoke aggression. Which is complete rubbish.

We are not built for war. We are built for self-preservation. To some people, they convoluted the idea of self-preservation, not about genetic self-preservation or about keeping their lineage going. More about preserving their assets. This leads to war. War is just large scale aggression. We have the physiology for aggression, hell, most animals do. But we've taken this very simple individual trait and turned it into something catastrophic. One of the unique features of humanity, and definitely not a pleasant one.

This what human unity looks like in the face of a challenge.




This is what large scale aggression looks like in the face of a challenge.




I don't know about you, but I like the former picture a lot more than the latter.
