Exactly.

People treat thier opinions like children instead of women. They'll do till a better one comes along.
And most people think they are more intelligent than they actually are.
Thank you for your answer, and what is the first thing you will do if you are selected Miss America?
That's the paradox of intelligence. Those who have very little, think they have a lot. And those who have a lot, think very little of themselves.
You can't fight the normal distribution.
Also called the Dunning–Kruger effect.The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt. Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

You look just like David Gilmour and I've heard he's 7 ft tall and weighs 450 lbs (sans Strat).Oh yea. All the keyboard commando's are 6 feet tall and bullet proof.
I've confronted a couple in person and they all wimp-up like little girls then, and I'm in no way a big guy.
Do u mean serotonin?Totally get where your coming from with this, and as a fan of Friedman, you are in good company!
As mentioned in my previous post, the problem is that humans just like apes operate on seeking out dopamine and ceratonin (as well as other such as oxytocin).
We generate a lower base level of ceratonin when we rank lower in our social groups. This has lots of effects such as reducing self belief (that's not the exact correct term in this case)
But the problem is who we identify as our social group is evolutionarily limited to a small group of (usually local) interactions.
We can't easily rank ourselves against people and cultures we have no daily exposure to.
This means a countries 'poor' don't logically function to rank themselves as comparitively fortunate.
In short Friedman is logical to a fault. The apes that talk are collectively not.
You only have to look at social behaviours like mass hysteria, cults and evangelical exorcisms to see we function on social levels as much if not more by our genes as we do by out frontal cortex.
That's partly why this forum is so great! Amir works very hard against the forces of apes gone past.

We can transcend the ways of nature.
With our knowledge and technology, humans can change the rules of the game, control populations, ignore/avoid triggering emotions and instincts.
I feel there is a correlation between hostility and competition. This is nature's way as well. Survival of the fittest and all that.
But I think we no longer need to be like this anymore. We can transcend the ways of nature. With our knowledge and technology, humans can change the rules of the game, control populations, ignore/avoid triggering emotions and instincts. We could live in a VR world so there would be less friction between people. Marriage and Religions can be abolished. We could live in a sci-fi futuristic world where individualism would be a thing of the past.
