yeah, real men carry two guns on them and hand one to the man they are about to shoot, then give them 10 paces

If human beings do not evolve into better things per se, and we are just differently adapted now than we used to be, how does this theory explain the human desire for eternal life that we have witnessed in human culture for the last 200.000 years.

shrimp because we all fear death

it's the anti thesis to human existence

isn't there a whole mechanism in our brains specifically to stop us thinking about how we're all gonna die?

But don't we want to overcome it since the dawn of time?

it is something we cannot fully comprehend because it comprises of something that is totally against our nature

it is completely alien

we can get close but cannot truly experience it

Doesnt that make it sort of an evolutionary desire

it's a one way ticket

shrimp we can also argue that only those with the fear of death survived to pass on their genes

I don't think evolution is completely consistent, but there's a red line

that is true

an organism cannot go back to the drawing back it must work with what it has

for example our eyes are better suited to under water vision

PoMo's often say there isn't a consistent line of growth

they were originally made to see under water and have been modified over the years to see on dry land

@Shrimpf how many weedies are you on right about now?

Death is the primary enemy to the survival instinct. Very basic shit.

I did smoke weed for my IBS

But it barely affects me because I only dose for pain

@lgmdigm if you also look at it, it is the most scary thing we can imagine

@johnfrum#8811 you can think about it but I read somewhere there's a mechanism that normally shuts you down from thinking about death too much

or distracts you

with other fears there's a chance of fighting back or hiding but with death there's nothing you can do

I usually think about cancer

It runs in the family

damn

if people didn't have that mechanism society wouldn't work

Well there's probably a mechanism for a lot of chains of thought not creating a feedback loop.

you better run faster @Shrimpf

we'd all be thinking about what's coming constantly
