Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual?

  We'd die out. It's clearly a question that's hyperfocused on the worst aspects of it.

    We successfully complete many projects that arguably have nothing to do with our hormonal fight/fuck imperative.

    Why do you think that particular project would be different?

      Because those hormones are also involved with making people want to do those things. Just because you associate them specifically with fight/fuck doesn't mean thats all they do.

        Yes, “humanity” is heavily tied to those hormones. And humanity is also motivated by much other than those hormones. So to conclude that without hormonal influences we would necessarily abandon important projects like “keeping the population maintained” seems rather hasty.

        So let’s consider some more interesting results than “we would all just die”. Because no doubt they exist.

        Come on, exercise your speculation muscles.
