Deep you are correct to a great degree. I’ve covered this before; I’ll cover it again.
Pseudo speciation on the part of one group of atheistic s or Christians or subgroups of the two see each other as ‘sub- human’ or at least less of a human than themselves. [or different religious denominations]; in the case of atheistic s the GNU’S , [new] angry atheistic s, Darwin atheistic s etc. In the mind, these less than ‘human’ , less than ‘Christians’, it doesn’t count if you ‘kill them’.
The more you kill off the more powerful you appear and hence the greater reproductive rewards.
“Under the right circumstances anyone is capable of doing something appalling.”
“ Some are considered ‘honor killings’”.
A solution to this dilemma can be reciprocal altruism which can be prompted by pseudo kinship as we saw recently on a thread where “WILLIE stated: “
lets just make peace!!!
it's all gonna be ok... just let it go under the bridge... i sure wish you could make peace!
karma and crow sandwiches for everyone!!! “
Agood example of “Sapolsky’s waterhole” analogy.
There are reasons for this type behavior much to lengthy to go into here.
What I have said above comes from my notes taken from a series of on line lectures by Robert Sapolsky at Stanford University.. The series is lengthy and requires a few weeks to listen to and take notes. Several requires listening to more than once for me.
Dr Sapolsky is a genius and this series on human behavior is a must. [the character in my avatar]
I will further state: if one has not been educated on this level by Sapolsky and others there is really no reason to post blind speculation on here as to human behavior.
