    we’re not as evolved as we like to think we are. ultimately we’re driven by the primate brain’s relentless urge to be part of a group (ANY group, apparently), on top of the more primal survival/mating dance instincts

      Survival dance sounds interesting ;) But yes, humans are herd animals really. We figured out we’re stronger together and set some common rules, and we don’t want to be left outside so we conform.

      Irony is, we’re also predators - and crucially our own is not excluded from predation. (in the nature sense not the sex offender sense)

          Oh yeah, I meant to express I was painting a comparison with animals and nature, not pedophelia.

          Also, my address won’t show on that site :)
