Okay but what if I told you that the survey methods and everything is private but you can look at it if you join the right wing think tank I work at? - my thesis advisor after development of a survey that "undermines" the notion that Black ppl are treated disproportionately by police

That does not negate the point that because humans are social creatures that rely on community to survive, violence between humans then ultimately reduces survivability. It's not that complicated.

The video points out exactly what I'm saying. Humans are good at sweating for long distance travel and require community to survive.

In the video that *group* of people working together to track down an animal. Violence towards others is not native to human survival and actually works against it.

Our bodies are built to kill?

We're the least built to kill of all mammals. No sharp teeth, no claws, organs/sensitive areas are out front. The only thing we're good at comparatively is sweating for long distance running.

Humans are social creatures that survive through community.

I was reprimanded pretty hard for choosing for follow OSHA rules over a SNCO and this was just about hardhats on a construction site. Random extra duty for like 2 years, that SNCO killing tdy opportunities, refusing to sign off on my marriage license etc etc. It's more complicated than just go home.

Personally, I've been using a custom default search query, in place of brave/chrome's default and it works alright
