The Human Brain in Numbers: A Linearly Scaled-Up Primate Brain (2009)
So, basically, it&#x27;s an ape brain. Figures. That&#x27;s why we do so much ape brain shit, around the world. We don&#x27;t need complex theories to explain why the world is, in some respects, a violent mess, we just need to look at how primates behave in the wild: do they live peaceful lives in the abundance of space they have in the forest? Nope. They divide up that space into little areas, form tribes, and then go attack and raid other areas and other groups: killing, maiming, raping, eating babies. All ape-brain shit. And we humans do basically the same thing, but we need &quot;intelligence&quot; and &quot;sophisticated technology&quot; to inform our &quot;military strategies&quot;. But it&#x27;s all ape brain shit. All the crime we have: ape brain shit. And even all the online warring, all the Twitter mobs, and MeToo movements, and fake left extremism and fake right extremism, all that stuff, forming little tribes, and going and attacking and raiding others. Dividing up the abundance of free space, but this time, ideological space, and going to attack and raid other ideological spaces, rather than just living in the peace and harmony that would be possible if it weren&#x27;t for our human nature: ape brain shit. Just sublimated from &quot;real violence&quot; into ideological, emotional, reputational, verbal violence. But all those ideological warriors love to pretend they are so much better than all the rapists and murderers and war mongers and child molesters and all the other bad things on planet Earth. But they&#x27;re all just doing the same thing, driven by the same bullshit force: ape brain shit. We don&#x27;t need complex theories to explain the state of the world, it&#x27;s just human nature. It&#x27;s all just fucking human nature. What the fuck is wrong with the world? Ape brain shit. Human nature. That&#x27;s it.
