www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... This insightful paper provides a sound evolutionary explanation of the threat management in humans.
Threat detection is pivotal for reproductive fitness. Here, the authors emphasize two independent, yet related systems: self-protection and disease avoidance.

Our new research finds that people are willing to cheat if it benefits their group — even when they gain nothing themselves.

Roy Baumeister called ego depletion "one of the most replicable findings in social psychology." As someone who spent 20 years studying it—and ultimately had to admit it wasn't real—I have to respectfully disagree. Here's my perspective of what went so wrong.

One of the main problems about cultural relativism. People often put at the same level opinions and scientific evidence/rational conclusions. This is why a lot of university students strongly supports empty beliefs as astrology and homeopathy.
