"Our ancestors ate shit and died. Then one day someone was born with a strange genetic mutation that caused the first ever emotion of disgust. This mutant was disgusted by poop and didn’t eat it and didn’t die. Everyone else did. Thus this ancestor spawned the entire human race of “disgusting people.”..."
"Imagine eating excrement, kissing a stranger covered in open sores, or painting a swastika on a Holocaust memorial. Despite the broad range of these behaviors, all trigger a common aversive reaction: the emotion of disgust (e.g., Tybur, Lieberman, Kurzban, and DeScioli, 2013). Because disgust is such a multifaceted emotion, there are multiple possible accounts of its evolutionary origins. The most widely accepted functional explanation is that disgust originally evolved to prevent the ingestion of pathogenic substances (e.g., Rozin, Haidt, and McCauley, 2008). "
Amen amen Kern !!
“The Story of Us” in one succinct “post”.
Let us pray for a happy ending, and “move our feet” in that direction!
One rendition of this question that I ask myself in as many moments as possible is: ✨ Right now, how will I choose to be the Love that I am? ✨
Wonderful piece of work, Kern! Appreciate you!
Thank you. Let's collaborate?
