Sex hormones are powerful. Running through everybody's blood. Creating massive aggression, obsession and mental disturbance. What if we could remove their mental influence?

I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too....

cameron_vale,

Bzzzt. We’d find a way to breed without hormones pushing us around. Look at science, engineering, flower gardening. Plenty of ambition there without chemical influence.

cameron_vale,

You know that hormones naturally occur in the body…

These are the hormones to which I referred in the op. I thought that was clear.

Ok, maybe “taking” wasn’t the right term but I couldn’t think of better.

I specifically refer to the big famous mind-altering ones. Testosterone. Estrogen.

The fight-fuck hormones.

cameron_vale,

Yes. You are right. Maybe I could have been clearer.

cameron_vale,

Pre-puberty I was less aggressive and did not look twice at girls.

That’s 99% of politics and advertising down the crapper right there.

I’d call that a pretty big difference.

cameron_vale,

Yes yes, I’m referring to the big famous mind-altering hormones specifically.

cameron_vale,

Skinny kids who couldn’t make it on the football field trying to eke out supremacy in a different arena? Ok, that’s a fair argument.

cameron_vale,

Ok. I thought it was obvious. Edited.

cameron_vale,

Ya, it would probably be a type of dark pattern.

cameron_vale,

I just heard the term “administrative burden”. But that’s pretty vague.

cameron_vale,

So what’s the situation and how do you avoid it (and thus avoid the damage)?

cameron_vale, (edited )

That would require us to exercise a degree of humility. Tricky.

cameron_vale,

All modern smart people know what the truth is. Always have. Always will.

cameron_vale,

Have you tried conducting the relevant experiments? That’s how we test such things.

cameron_vale,

Did you not research the phenomenon a bit? Google it?

One hypothesis is that they didn’t touch the stuff that the doctors touched.

I mean I’m getting that your question is rhetorical. Which is to say it doesn’t get to the point quickly. And I think you’d be better off getting to the point quickly. So you can move on to more meaningful investigations.

cameron_vale,

So many of us think of ourselves as smart and sensible while actually being as locked into the paradigm of the hour as a 13th century religious zealot. Same insanity, different century.

cameron_vale,

Gee, sorry.

cameron_vale, (edited )

But ignorance is only really appreciated in retrospect.

When the ignoramus is contemporary, he knows he’s right. He’s thinking what all the smart modern people are thinking. Of course he’s right.

And any idea that contradicts him (and contradict the modern, right-thinking majority) is clearly foolishness.

So maybe it’s the modern right-thinkers that we need to be wary of.

cameron_vale,

A rhetorical question avoids getting to the point because getting to the point is not the point of rhetoric. The point of rhetoric is emotional effect. Therefore when swift and easy arrival at the point is eschewed (a moment’s google), and an emotional effect is clearly evident, then rhetoric is clearly the point.

Tangentially, consider the phenomenon of “smugnorance”.

Ok.

Environments suggesting an afterlife may be encountered via certain meditation techniques.

Interviews with children who recall past lives suggests reincarnation.

Something fitting the description of a “creator of the universe” may be observed via certain meditation techniques.

Little people. Hmm. You got me there. But the literature is filled with reports. I hear that frequent fasting is good.

Spirits. I’d advise hallucinogens.

And of course, these methods are unavoidably esoteric and depthy.

cameron_vale,

And repeating your thesis sways me not at all.

Have you tried whacking yourself in the head with a rock?

cameron_vale,

The scientific method consists of observation and talking about what you observed. The rest is accounting.

And tho I appreciate balanced books as much as anybody, let’s not let that distract us from our first step in any scientific investigation : Observation.

Which leads us to these methods that I roughed out for you there.

But if these methods are not your cup of tea then you can only blame yourself.

And if you prefer to ignore those who have gone where you have not, then, again, you can only blame yourself.

cameron_vale,

I described like 5 things. Can you be more specific?
