> It is quite obvious that you are trying to use a single evolutionary psychology argument without having any knowledge of the field.
No - you're assuming what I mean from text that I never wrote.
> The way it can also work is that a bigger and more aggressive man comes along, kills you, and takes your woman.
Precisely that. That's exactly how evolution works. At some point, we eschewed evolution for "feeling good". I have a problem with that, and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it.
> And these people would listen to you tell them where to go and what to do because ...?
They won't, and I wouldn't tell them to do anything, given that random humans have no reason to obey my forum-written thoughts.
> You have some kind of Puritan mental hangup
I'm not a puritan. Don't lump me in with people that search for meaning and invent a bearded one in a sky/sun/moon/long-dead-arab.
Sedachv, I get the impression you really want to argue with someone about something puritan-related. If you want to get together and rant about everything wrong they have done to our civilization and way of life, you would find I'm quite agreeable to that viewpoint. At the root of it all, I hate that I have to "work" so that other people can "not work". I want the "not work"-ing people to go away. Unfortunately, I can't go off and chase those ideals, because I am still taking care of my own biological imperative's fruit until they can are grown and capable of taking care of themselves. When people stop working early(most of them do not do so because they have become rich, as in the article), we have to take care of them. I don't want to take care of them.
