come up with a better analogy and we'll have a discussion. As a fully self-aware being I could easily break genetic conditioning that doesn't actually benefit me. By the way, the behaviorist approach that you are proposing was generally considered invalid by the end of the 60's and human behavior is much more complex than pure survivalism. There are countless things humans do that are counterproductive to our survival that this viewpoint is not valid in psychological study, I would know. Point being doing one thing because of genetics does not mean we are incapable of behaving in a way that our genes would not generally dictate.

I feel like I've heard this somewhere before...where could it have been?

Sorry Dion. I can't control myself.

I generally withhold pity as I think most people are victims of their own design.

But I genuinely pity those close to you.
