Lack of large-scale violence/conflict causing people to go crazy??

[Finding Deebo]

Are we evolved for conflict and going crazy due to the relative peace of the last 70-80 years and overall safety of day-to-day life? Is life TOO easy for the human psyche to handle? Like how animals in the zoo are depressed even though they're far safer than in the wild (this has been observed in solitary species as well)? I think yes, and I have some more details to my though process I'll type later, but I want to hear your thoughts.

It has and will always be Globalists causing almost every single problem, especially social ones on this planet.

imagine if TWR was a single floor in a mega office building known as sherdog.

each thread would have its own room.

now imagine us all stopping on this floor & visiting each room.

there would definitely be murders on the daily. riots too.

I think our nature has more to do with it...

It plays a part, however Globalists are the ones exploiting it.

The zoo analogy only works with humans living in cities, you could read up on it in “the Human zoo”. It doesn’t really say a lot about large scale conflicts, which weren’t a thing for the largest part of humanity.

we are living through high information, low knowledge.

 

[Halge]

No. This is entirely the fault (deliberate design) of the left. Constant provocation disguised as "progressivism". It has nothing to do with soft living, social media or any of those other copouts.

I believe most people are appropriately social and are able to live peacefully and collaboratively with their peers.

The perception of widespread "crazy" is seemingly designed for entertainment purposes rather than an accurate reflection of reality.

Too much rot in high places thats why

Do you mean high information, low intelligence? How are you defining knowledge and information differently?

What do you mean designed for entertainment purposes? Who's designing it?

 

[Ornife]

What do you mean designed for entertainment purposes? Who's designing it?

Not implying a nefarious conspiracy exists, simply stating the media institution benefits from "clicks" derived from sensational stories.

This reality most certainly influences many in the public.

Maybe it's time?

George Orwell said it well:

[Hitler] has grasped the falsity of the hedonistic attitude to life. Nearly all western thought since the last war, certainly all "progressive" thought, has assumed tacitly that human beings desire nothing beyond ease, security, and avoidance of pain. In such a view of life there is no room, for instance, for patriotism and the military virtues. The Socialist who finds his children playing with soldiers is usually upset, but he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won’t do. Hitler, because in his own joyless mind he feels it with exceptional strength, knows that human beings don’t only want comfort, safety, short working-hours, hygiene, birth-control and, in general, common sense; they also, at least intermittently, want struggle and self-sacrifice, not to mention drums, flags and loyalty-parades. However they may be as economic theories, Fascism and Nazism are psychologically far sounder than any hedonistic conception of life. The same is probably true of Stalin’s militarised version of Socialism. All three of the great dictators have enhanced their power by imposing intolerable burdens on their peoples. Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a grudging way, have said to people "I offer you a good time," Hitler has said to them "I offer you struggle, danger and death," and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet.

Our species' dependence on violence, conflict, struggle, should be obvious enough to anyone who posts on a forum dedicated to a bloodsport. It is not as if violence is all we need in our lives, but we do have a demand for it. And if the supply of violence doesn't meet the demand, then we will manufacture more of it. By rioting, looting and breaking shit up if necessary.

To avoid the worst excesses, we've always had combat sports and other means through which people can express and satiate their natural aggression and combativeness. But perhaps in modern days these are not enough. We are in need of more ways through which people can channel their aggression in a less harmful and chaotic manner.
