Are you sure? I mean you’re kinda splitting hairs. Lotta gray area. Lotta room for interpretation.
I was thinking less genetic and more cultural. That by good education, communication, government, diet, art… we might grow beyond our monkey nature.
But maybe the 99% will always be a monkey.
There’s a whole universe between “hostile reaction” and “bow down and worship”.
We call it “polite conversation”.
You should try it sometime.
Consider them the same topic viewed from 2 different angles
Aww. The whores don’t want to hang out on my corner anymore.

Well there’s the optimal way to do it for individuals working alone. And there’s also the optimal way to do it when working in a group. They can be pretty different.
That depends on experience. Plenty of people have seen religious stuff while tripping, meditating, NDE etc.
And plenty of people believe stuff just because it’s popular to think that way. Which is arguably just as bad.

It’s like some kind of low hanging fruit convention.
Give me one that all the normal, smart people like you and me are guilty of.
You could throw a bit of “sunk cost fallacy” in there (he bought an anti-dragon whistle, he’s spending his time and energy blowing it),
And popularity bias (if anti-dragon whistles are popular)

And authoritarian bias (if the authorities are recommending anti-dragon whistles)

Also there’s a thing called a slingstaff. It’s pretty amazing. You want the 6’ long 2-handed version.
There’s a crack in every ideology. In fact it’s all cracks.
Any position is coherent when you have anonymity and free time. That goes double for moderators.
Piranha solution works good for that.
This is so sexist. I am appalled that you “people” aren’t more appalled than you are.
Ho ho. Yes, the backbone of every good community is a rigid orthodoxy.
That was sarcasm.
Go piss up a rope.
