Still though. People ought to stop equating the two.
This one ^
Fair point. I only have english textbooks for college, and it’s in pretty much evry single one of them. My dutch teachers said the meme in a translated version during lectures. Only happened twice though.
Not a parasite. A vital sidekick whom we cannot exist without.
It’s a meme in the netherlands as well.
Mitochondria is plural. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.
I am aware of the reason behind the behaviour. I even mentioned that killing an infant gets the female in estrus sooner. I was merely pointing out that men aren’t like male monkeys. That men are able to find the idea of infanticide unacceptable, wereas male monkeys couldn’t care less.
I am not applying “modern western morals” on them. Strange way to phrase it too. Why not call it human morals? Why modern western?
My spiritual need was liberation from this projective bullshit.
You aren’t born religious. You are indoctrinated. I grew up in a cult. It wasn’t nearly as bad as cults get, but it has its own insane ramblings “teachings”
I escaped my indoctrination because I took it too seriously. I wanted to adhere perfectly, which resulted in finding out how convoluted and hypocritical it is. It is impossible.
So in my confusion, I started to look more critically at the hows and whys. The result, religions all use the same dirty tactics to get people to believe. False promises, comforting lies and empty threats that will seem real to those who were taught magical thinking.
I reject religion.
But I cannot hate people who are religious for just being religious. They were a child when taught, or an adult so downtrodden they needed a fairy tale to continue life. Or perhaps just are a bit naive. It’s a slippery slope. So… I can’t blame people. I get it. I know what it’s like and it saddens me the older people get, the less likely they’ll ever escape the mental constriction religion brings.
I sure as fuck hate a religious person for commiting hate crimes. They can go to hell.
But it’s often 1 male that mates. So you have a lot more males that try to kill, rather than not. And if that 1 male wasn’t at the top, he’d be doing the same.
Not only that. Menstruation started as a way to decrease the chance of non viable pregnancies (because we are susceptible to genetic mutations which we needed to in order to adapt). Because it reduced fertility, people had to fuck more often. Not only that, men were selected on certain traits that resulted in paternal care evolving. Because well… if the mom dies, then at least the dad makes sure they both succesfully reproduced. Male chimps are more likely to eat orphans than take care of em. After all, they can always force a another one.
Menstruation became so good at reducing fertility, that we developed monogamous behaviour. Men developed the ability to bond at all. By becomming more sensitive to oxytocin despite producing less of the stuff compared to women. Men also express prolactin in the brain after their baby is born, which is hard to find in other primates. It’s amazing that men don’t kill infants whereas male apes and monkeys do… just to get the female in estrus faster again.
I mean just look at the other primates. The males really don’t care about anything except their position, and control over females. Whereas men can love interacting with dogs. Ever seen a cat dad? That’s true care and love right there. It sounds like a “duh.” But there is so much more behind the behaviour.
Humans are dope.
Wars have always been brutal and involved murdering/raping citizens. Don’t act like nuclear power made a change in morals. Only thing that changed is the scale. The darkness has always been there.
I mean. They are a matriarchy. So one could say the oldest is the alpha female. Who only accepts a new female in the group if she’s able to sexually satisfy the matriarch. And in case you want to see what bonobo gay sex looks like… don’t. It looks like two sopping tumors rubbing against each other.
Constant danger or a threat.
“Even if you give an ape a ring, it’ll remain an ugly thing.” -Netherlands.
Was that due to animal welfare regulations? Thought it had to do with regulations favoring mega farms and forcing small farms to stop.
Fuck off mate. Not everyone is born healthy. Some of us have syndromes.
You may shit and piss all over the NS, but once you’ve been abroad, you’ll accept those delays with grace.
