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.

      I’m referring to the big famous mind-altering hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The fighting and fucking urge that shapes 99% of politics, advertising and popular music.
