You were pretty much right at the beginning! Society as a whole has a blood thirst that we love to watch from outside of harm. Human nature I guess. You both had good points for each gender, males have that primal feel for the hunt or kill and woman have an insatiable thirst for revenge/justice in those murder shows they love. Well done you two. Also proud of you not pausing on the last drop through the Vicarious scream Brad, and I love Lex's nose wrinkle and instant smile when the first drop hits, she's totally a metal head. Can't wait to watch you get deeper into Tool.

Way back then you needed psychopaths, which were mostly men, to conquer new lands. That's why women weren't fighting on the front. I notice it over and over when I talk to my male friends about grewsome content, when women are near. They start to look at us in disgust while we don't really care about it. There are no emotions attached to talking about someone else's suffering. Of course, not every man is like that and not every woman is like what I described, but many are and those were the warriors of a nation and the women were the ones keeping up the home while the men were fighting out the wars. It's embedded into our dna per nature.

We are all obsessed with death especially our own. We just don't like to admit how much our pursuit of 'achievement', 'money', 'sex' and 'resources' is simply and clearly our attempt to prevent, delay and mask the reality of our obsession with our own death. Why is pain our greatest teacher? Why are mistakes what we remember the most clearly? Why indeed
@markgregory983 2 жыл бұрын
Its what religion prays on. Fear of death. It indoctrinates you to live your life preparing for an afterlife. But everything listed is a fear. The reality of the situation is that noone, and i mean noone, knows what happens after death. There is a 99.9% chance all religion, philosophies, or even current understandings of the universe are wrong. We are, afterall, just a very complex computer. We are what we believe to be sentient, but thats only an interpretation, and thats how we explain our conciousness. But in the end, we only require oxygen, just like a computer requires power. When lose consciousness, everything goes black, and we essentially shut down like a computer. Our dna is literally just a bunch of on/off switches, like transistors, that determine what we are, look like, and function and operate. So the real question i always ask people is: why worry about death when we dont know the answer in the first place? Just live life the best you can, while you can. Why should pain and pursuit of being better than others matter so much to our mindsets? It costs nothing to be a decent person. You being the richest, or strongest person, or better at something, should not really matter, because you are still just as expendable as anyone else, so treat people with more respect. I will never understand why human nature is to have something we dont, or to crave for more. Like you said, its our obsession, and masks our fears. We remember our mistakes vividly, but we often dont learn from them. We fail to critically think all too often.

I've had this argument a lot of times when talking about the lyrics of this song, most people pull back like "no, I'm not like that"... but everyone has this instinct, it's the survivor instinct and it's imprimted in our deepest part of the brain. When we see someone suffering or dying, our primal instinct says "I am alive and he's not". But society looks that as wrong behavior, so we supress and hide it. Being honest, everyone likes to see those kind of things, even if it's not consciently.... just look at the number of views of any KZfaq video showing "Tsunami in XXXXXX", or "Volcano destroys village in XXXXX", or "Earthquake in XXXX kills 200 people"... Hypocrisy in it's golden state.

I love how deep you guys go on these things, that's the whole point of these songs! Just to add another angle: there's a theory that I find very believable about human fascination with the death of other creatures (especially fellow humans, but other animals also), that our instinct to watch it even if it makes us sick is part of the survival instinct. That survival instinct is stimulated pleasantly when we see something else die, but it doesn't touch us. We feel powerful in that moment, because we witnessed Death, but it passed us by. More pragmatically, especially for women who faced different kinds of challenges to our survival in society than men did, we watch to learn. What strategies can be used in a life-and-death open conflict? We watch to observe, in case we need it one day ourselves. Anyway, it's fascinating to think about.

Just wanted to share some insight. Humans are motivated by avoiding pain and discomfort. We don't want to be comfortable because it's nice, we want to be comfortable because we really don't want to be uncomfortable. This is why we focus more on the negative aspects of life. Imagine 2 tribes of primitive hunter gatherers around their campfires. There's a sound from the bushes nearby at both camps. One tribe is enjoying the merriment around the fire, the other tribe gets up and inspects the bushes, focusing on the negative aspect of the situation. That tribe discoveres a rival tribe sneaking up on them and fights off the attack, and lives to see another day. The tribe who were making merry got took by surprise and their tribe was wiped out. This is why we tend to focus on the bad aspects of life. Because they indicate a problem or threat. So when I hear this song, it speaks to me about how the media, be it news or TV, exploit this nature for profit. Hence, all the negative news stories, movies full of violence and suffering being so prevalant.
