&gt; The point is that the fear-response tells you to not play with the tiger, you astounding idiot.<p>Last I checked, the fear-response &quot;tells&quot; more than not to play with the tiger. For example, it tells (via moral conditioning) not to kill or maim or wound (not to mention insult as you evidently are doing here) one&#x27;s fellow humans - yet reading the daily news will confirm that such violence does happen on a regular basis (despite fear &quot;telling&quot; them not to do it). Therefore, is there something new you can contribute to aid human understanding?
