Interesting puzzle. Why is it that people rather choose to break the foundations of peaceful life with other humans, and consider killing one of the three? The 2/3s solution is just this tiny bit harder and not 100% exact in practice. But we don't need to kill someone?
Also interesting for me: Why does it seem more obvious/logical to just break the law instead of breaking the stupid "JuSt usE It 1 tiME" instruction? We could just cut the apples in small slices so everyone can eat what they like and not be assholes about it?
Why is it easier to fall back to just (virtually) killing people as a reflex?
Because you are the direct descendent of a murderer, a rapist, a thief, a slaver, a raider, a pillager, a conquerer, and a genocider.
I don't care who you are or where you are from. Sometime in the near or distant past, you had ancestors that did each of these. Some of these crimes are more relevant in the present day; the Holocaust or Jim Crow have a lot more effect on present sociology than Rome's genocide of Carthage. But go back far enough, and each and every one of us is descended from a monster.
Violence is simply part of us, and it has since before we were even human. If it ever existed, the "pacifist" gene was weeded out of the gene pool a long time ago
Well, I'm also probably the descendent of someone who was murdered, raped, stolen from, raided, or enslaved. And of educators, healers/medical practitioners, maybe activists for a good cause, artists. What's your point? All of these things just got deleted from the DNA somehow? And the DNA just magically predetermines all of my thoughts and behavior?
