I wonder what your opinion is on evolutionary psychology. Some people treat is as an iron-clad thing; our instinctual drives and biological characteristics, laid early on in human history, direct our activities to this day,despite attempts to repress or re-direct them. Others consider that innacurate, pseudo-religious; basically they think that it only somewhat affects the probability of an outcome, with another major factor to consider being the environment that individuals live in. What do you think? ~~Anonymous 2023-06-14(Wed)14:47:51 No.190

To me it makes sense that it's a factor that affects our lives, though I wouldn't say it overpowers us completely, because certainly environmental factors play their part, also. I find it convincing to think that we lived without electricity for 99% of our time walking the Earth and that we know for sure that light pollution, especially at night when we should be sleeping, is harmful to us, so there are reasons to believe in evolutionary psychology. However, the sole fact that we not only succesfully invented time-keeping devices but also regimented our lives not around sunrise and sunset but the hands of the clock certainly proves that we can alter our destinies despite whatever our biology is attuned to, for better or for worse. ~~cidoku ## Admin 2023-06-14(Wed)21:29:29 No.193
