QotD: A World with Less Violence
What could we do to create a world with less violence?
I don't think we can. Is that sad?
There is a possible way but it's way too difficult and unethical - get rid of the males. Testosterone is the bane of all peaceful lifeforms. There are more men than woman in prison due to violent crimes (I think it's about 6 times, but I've read that the rates are becoming more similar the more urbanised the places are - must be the competition). And we all know what a bunch of males can get up to once their pig-headed brains feel threatened, pissed off or otherwise unhappy with something (riots, strikes, wars, anyone?). So get rid of the males. Or get rid of male-centred thinking. Or remove chauvinism altogether.
However, once that happens, I think mother nature will compensate and make the females produce more testosterone hormones than they already have, and then the violent cycle continues.
Yes, I know some testosterone driven competition is good but hey, I didn't ask the question.
So. Back to my original statement.
Is that sad?
(PS: I'm not a man-hater. And, as I said, I didn't ask the question.)
