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 meant sex hormones. Creating this powerful mental influence, coloring how we see and think. Urges to fight and fuck. Aggression. Obsession. All that.

    I guess I wasn’t as clear as I thought.

    (In my title, I’m trying to be clear yet succinct. Stick to terms everybody can understand. Deliver it all inside 50 characters or whatever the limit is because everybody skips the text. So I’m honing that craft)
