Taboos aren’t always universal and this that is what makes it a taboo rather than an instinct.

Is human fescies that different from animal one, that one will spread disease and other won't? I doubt, since we eat the same things that animals do - plants and meat. Taboos are made to obscure things, as i understand it. Nothing good comes from lack of open debate on any topic. Idea that there are things, that we do not speak about is strange for me. I might not like to speak about certain things with certain people or in certain circumstances, but not to talk at all about hygiene, sex or other topics recognised as taboo is not healthy from my point of view.

@@maciejlewandowski7311 There is a difference between human and animal crap as humans could carry parasites and diseases that specifically target humans (like cholera), while with animals it still isn’t healthy to have around but the chance of a specific disease jumping species isn’t as common. I think that isn’t too important as the idea is more about not pooping where you eat and live, you can’t limit what animals do but you can limit what people do. Also I interpreted this argument in the video as saying why we would evolve the ability to make taboos rather than justifying them. However, I wouldn’t say all taboos are bad as some can serve a genuine purpose (ex: incest is a taboo). But they can also be harmful by limiting ideas or discussion on topics like sex or hygiene. But that’s more of a cultural problem than an issue with human nature.

@@RwandaBob Well, in Britain, a teacher in a nursery school is paid on the same wage scale as a teacher in a primary school, or a secondary school. To become a lecturer in a university usually takes more expertise- Ph.D - in your subject and you are paid slightly higher. Although, a highly qualified, time-served, nursery school teacher will be paid as much as a junior lecturer. To become a Professor, you need to do research and write papers, which are delivered to other academics in your field. They are people who are thought of as capable of training and mentoring lecturers. They are responsible for organising coursework for students and they also have to teach. It is not an academic qualification, but a title bestowed on a person which honours the contribution they have made to their subject and their university. Although, headteachers in a large secondary school will often be paid as much as a professor. It's not really a 'dumb ass, contrived system' at all. All countries have prestigious universities, including Spain.

Morale of this? Money can make people do things they wouldn't normally do. BTW, he rarely talked about what he saw during the war, although he did say that when he was replacing a duty post with another man in the trenches, the other man was shot in the head as he was walking away. Could have easily been my great grandfather. It must have been horrific.

"In other words, human beings are bastards." or maybe just the people causing bad to others are bastards? I hate to see this anti-human sentiment everywhere I look. Bad things happen between people -> "oh, humans are so bad and evil! No other animal can be so cruel and evil! I'm so edgy because I think exactly like others around me! Do I fit in now? Do you accept me?" Meanwhile in the real world: a cat ate her own kittens because she was alarmed by a noise, a dolphin fuck a dead fish for its pleasure, a lion killed all the babies and fuck their mother, a baby penguin killed its smaller sibling because it wanted to eat all the food given, a rat ate its own mother, a tree strangled another plant to death because it had in order to live, a star exploded and destroyed several solar systems around it, so on and so on.. So maybe it's just that "bad things" are a natural part of life and existence itself? At least a human has the ability to not do bad things even though it can, so maybe we are the best thing ever existing at least in our part of the universe?

The point about status increase for the regular trooper really rings particularly true when you consider how many armies (dating as far back as the Roman Republic) relied on giving land or property to the landless as payment for long military service or particularly tough campaigns.

"Beards are good and that's a fact!" He speaks the truth!

I'd argue that people don't just fob off the grand noble ideal they are fighting for, instead they tie the ideal to their own identity and status. For example if you are fighting for God, you can use the war to underline your own prestige as a man of God. If you fight for democracy you can identify yourself as a citizen of 'the land of the free'. In both cases the willingness to fight for the shared mythic ideal of your tribe gives you the personal prestige that you are aiming for.

One of the main ideas in Frank Herbert’s sci-fi series Dune is that war happens as an instinct to mix the gene pool when a lack of change and dynamics in populations over an extended period creates a retroactive effect.

I really like this video. I love how you dig into the roots of human nature instead of talking too much about wars. Very well explained.

Wonderful, thought-provoking video. My mind was blown by the fact that 80% of women but only 40% of men have contributed to the current gene pool. One thing to consider, though: that's a very different thing from saying that most men died childless. Some men fathered children, but still didn't contribute to the modern gene pool because their lineages eventually died out. For example, Richard III fathered three children, but none of them had children of their own, so his genes aren't in the pool today. Possibly Henry VIII also, depending on how many illegitimate kids you believe he had. And Richard and Henry were both quite high-status.

Lindybeige proposing marriage: "I want to stay with you and my support group back home, and breed with that, and raise kids. That's the way to do it!"

So what Lloyd is saying... is... Service guarantees citizenship *would you like to know more?*
