I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too.

Take them out of the equation and that’s 99% of politics, advertising and popular music gone.

So what would that look like for society?

Would it be Star Trek? Would it be a dystopia?

What about the individual??

Flat effect no ambition misery? Or creative powerhouse and visionary?

Give me your speculations.

    Imagine a society made up of eight-year-olds. Gentle, un-aggressive. Couldn’t care less about titties. Incredible clarity of mind.

    There would still be art and science. Soccer and carpentry would still be fun.

    We just wouldn’t have that little pseudococaine gland squirting into our bloodstream 24-7.
