➤➤Transcript (Partial):
Anyways, lobsters are creatures that engage in dominance disputes. I think "dominance" is the right way to think about it. Lobsters aren’t very empathic, and they aren’t very social, and so it really is the toughest lobster that wins. What's so cool about the lobster is that, when a lobster wins, he flexes and gets bigger. He looks bigger because he’s a winner. It’s like he’s advertising that. The neurochemical system that makes him flex is serotonergic. You think, well, who cares? What the hell does that mean? I’ll tell you what that means: it’s the same chemical that’s affected by antidepressants in human beings. If you’re depressed, you’re a defeated lobster. You’re like, I'm small, things are dangerous. I don’t want to fight. You give someone an antidepressant, up they stretch, and then they’re ready to take on the world again. Well, if you give lobsters who just got defeated in a fight serotonin, then they stretch out and they’ll fight again. We separated from those creatures on the evolutionary time scale somewhere between 350-600 million years ago, and the damn neurochemistry is the same!
That’s another indication of just how important hierarchies of authority are: they’ve been conserved since the time of lobsters. There weren’t trees around when lobsters first manifested themselves on the planet. What that means is these hierarchies that I've been talking about are older than trees. One of the truisms for what constitutes real, from a Darwinian perspective, is that which has been around the longest period of time, because it’s had the longest period of time to exert selection pressure. Well, we know we evolved and lived in trees something along the order of 60 million years ago. We’re talking 10 times as far back as that for the hierarchy. The idea that the hierarchy is something that's exerted selection pressure on human beings is not a disputable issue. How it’s done it, and exactly what that means, we can argue about. But that sort of biological continuity is just absolutely unbelievable.
I didn't discover this. I read about it, and I talked to my graduate students about it. I used to take them out for breakfast. They were a very contentious, snappy bunch. They were always trying to one-up each other, and they were quite witty. For like six months-until it got very annoying-every time one of them one-upped the other, they’d stretch themselves out and snap their hands. That was very funny. It was really, very funny. So you see this in lobsters, and that's pretty amazing.
One of the other things that's really cool about lobsters is that-let’s say you’ve been top lobster for a long time, but you're getting kind of old, and some young lobster just wails the hell out of you, and so you're all depressed. Your brain is dominant, but you’re a lobster; you don’t have much of a brain. So now what are you going to do? The answer is, well, your brain will dissolve, and then you’ll grow a subordinate brain. Yea. That’s worth thinking about, too, for a couple of reasons....

Just wanna clarify as someone working in the field of biology that serotonin acts entirely differently in humans and lobsters. In fact, this difference is practically split down the lines of vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates feel a sense of heightened awareness, and happiness, while also having better memory retention during times of high serotonin. Essentially its really good for learning and socializing with others, not fighting. In invertebrates like lobsters serotonin causes agression and may increase irritability If you want a simple answer why its because lobsters and their ancestors lived in poor environments that lead to fighting for resources. Our early ancestors lived in environments where we had plenty of resources, and were safer from predators if we formed cohesive groups. You can stop here if you want, but i explain it in a bit more detail below. This is because lobsters have evolved to compete with each other in a resource scarece environment. The one who survives to pass on their genes was the one who could take food from others. So the biggest and most aggressive make the babies Humans, on the other hand, have evolved from ancestors who lived in more resource rich environments. Our ancestors' main concerns were predation and accessing those resources in our environment One could avoid predation by being part of a group. However to exist as group you had to get along with others in close proximity. It was also highly beneficial to remeber the habits, tendencies, and dislikes of others so you were better able to predict where, when, or how to find your group again later Accessing resources in our environment was also alot easier if you worked as a group. Tasks such as hunting, home making, caring for young, and gathering resources were a lot easier when you could delegate tasks to different people who work for the collective good. Individual tasks could also be made easier if multiple people were to do them together as a group. In humans this was especially important because surviving as a group rather than an individual allowed us to share knowledge and even have designated individuals who mastered tool making and other skills to benefit the collective. Group survival is the basis on which all society began Humans aren't lobsters, and biochemical processes vary between taxonomic groups

True... But we do have serotonin in our body. While we are definitely not primitive, we can definitely feel dominant and depressed and it literally depends on your success and defeat to trigger it. Sometimes to understand something that looks complex you have to look at the basics.

As a biologist, I just want to remind everyone that serotonin is used by both vertebrates and invertebrates, however it does not do the same thing in both. Infact many chemicals that affect the nervous systems are shared, but act differently between vertebrates and invertebrates. This is because we share an ancestor with invertebrates, but that ancestor was a primitive worm that makes todays worms seem very advanced. We both inherited a incredibly basic nervous system from this worm, but thats basically it, and because it was so basic it evolved into many variations over time. So in invertebrates such as lobsters it does cause agression. In humans it doesn't. Infact it causes happiness, and a heightened sense of awareness that helps you learn and remember events. In other words we are not lobsters, and biochemistry isnt actaully identical between different species, family, or genus

I accidentally washed a baby bird out of a tiny sparrow nest hidden in one of my flower pots hanging from the roof. Figured I'd let the mom and dad sort it out. Came back 6 or 7 hours later, poor little guy was still on the ground, terrified and shivering and clearly hungry. I felt incredibly guilty for not picking him up. I got out the ladder and put him back up in the flowerpot, hoping the parent birds would return. Less than an hour later, they heard its cries and came back to the nest.

@TheWorldWithin27 Жыл бұрын

Dominance doesn’t always imply aggressive but whoever is dominant sure better have the ability to be aggressive at any moment because their rise to dominance will be a quick fall down from the top as someone equally dominant as you comes about but they are far more aggressive and their goal is to annoy you or set the tone for whatever circumstance. Setting the tone for a majority of situations usually determines the outcome. I look at dominance as an outcome of someone’s priorities and character while aggressiveness as a skill that unfortunately some people adopt as a character trait because of its success rate it produces as compared to something like confidence.

I think I have expetienced the growth of the amygdala. I used to smoke a lot and often get anxiety, which led to negatieve and bad thoughts that I didnt even consiously think of but they kept coming. I thought smtng was wrong with me becuz becuz no one around got this from weed like I did. ( allthlught eventually a lot did after some years) . After watching a video of someone explaining what weed does to the brain and that some people reavt different and u Just sinply cannot let go of a bad tbought becauze your brain is making conmections i calmed down. Its fine to underdtsnd things. Plus i lowered the dosis heavily But I always feel like all those years of negatieve thinking, and ultimately a lot of self hate has brought me down mentally and "spiritually". All though I dont have those obsessive thoughts anymore and I have slowly build up and imlroved some facets of life it feels like I am a " weaker" human then befofe and that its taking more time to get my shit together than it normally would. But Im staying positive and like to think that if i pile up little victories and get back to my "normal" functioms that I will become stronger and wiser then ever before. Hopefully 🤣🤣. Okee ciaaao

He does state that this is not his theory. A simple Google search will show the science behind these statements. Apparently someone has done all the scientific research to prove it is actually a fact.🤷

I’m not a smart noodle but the first tree big tree 400 million years ago and lobsters showed up around 360 million years ago (not exact years of course)

@aeropostale101nw 2 жыл бұрын

Not true trees as we know them today. The trees of that age were large lycopsids (club moss essentially) or something like calamites (a large horsetail) neither of which are trees with the vascularization we see today. Edit: misspelled "horsetail"

petersons pyramid /\ shape for hierarchies is quickly debunked by his belief in the IQ bell curve. the bell curve shape would have a point at the top, a point at the bottom and a bulge in the middle, nothing like a /\ shape.

Damn, I heard of people reaching to make a point. But, to reach 350 to 600 million years into the past to do so is truly a spectacular feat. How this isn't a discussion on the influence of serotonin, and it was somehow manipulated into an argument about hierarchy is truly a superpower.

If you ask Lao Tzu he will reply by be at the bottom of hierarchy, never fight, never try to be dominant, be soft like water, and no need for anti depressants. Of course you will need anti depressants to be on the top of hierarchy because it's an ego game and ego its competition, cunniness, pain, suffering..., so if you want peace be like the worthless tree in a forest and you will never cut down.

This is hilarious. In anyone's experience, do the biggest toughest guys, the ones who enter into dominance battles and win physically (ie beat the other guy up) typically do the best in society? I'm thinking of all the old rich dudes I know and how they never got into a fight in their lives, versus the guys down at the dockside bar. I know, someone will say dominance hierarchies are different now, that money and power go with brains and wits ... but does that support or defeat this guy's argument? Do "dominance hierarchies" mean anything outside the schoolyard and sports? Is "dominance" just whatever he wants to define it as, so long as it is the status quo (men staying in power, his central thesis)? This guy just says things. He is not defending his arguments. Lobsters! I also love his take on how psychedelic drugs connect us to God.
