We kill! But Why?

We allocate money for important things. At times it is to develop a certain idea, to initiate a certain project that can function in many ways. It could be a project of waste recycling, it could be a new roundabout or anything else. At times we do invest on things that shall help prevent impending danger. An expected flood is treated by creating an intelligent system of allowing water to flow without causing damage, or it could be a certain awareness project to teach people how to use water, dispose waste, share certain public places, or anything that would be of societal benefit.

Looking through history, we realize that humans have been dangerous towards other humans. We have been conquering each other’s lands and exterminating each other. I think it would be wise to invest upon studies to understand why we have some dormant animosity towards each other that gets free in certain situations. I do realize that many shall say that is what the field of social sciences is doing. That’s what psychologists are doing. The question is are we really investing on unbiased social experiments or some people are funding social scientists who carry similar notions and by that are ready to skew date to reach certain conclusions that have been determined prior to the study.

Some simply jump and say since we are species that evolved, then we are just creatures bound to seek survival and protect themselves from any expected danger, so we annihilate our fellows. We should realize that most of our exterminating of fellow beings is not due to concrete dangers but it is for certain abstract notions that we hold strongly dear to ourselves. So it is our neocortex that is directing our lower brain parts and in some cases it could be the way around but massacres could hardly be guided by the lower brain regions but by the higher ones, or maybe they are implemented by orders from the neocortex, which received orders from the lower brain regions. Often, we don’t kill because of concrete danger but due to abstract notions.

Think on this more!!!!
