Very easy but unstable environment.

It would be a mistake to think easy means pleasant or idyllic. It only means that survival or fitness is not related to long term planning. An example of a harsh but stable environment would be that of Sumer. Total dependence on agriculture.

I can't say, abortion isn't something I have an opinion on. It does seem like it could effect the way people respond subconsciously to children.

@wolfhnd My point is that the LIBS support Planned Parenthood with every fiber in their bodies, but claim there is no cost to high to pay to save lives from "KUNG-FLU", while they kill hundreds of babies a day!!!

Well you know me well enough to expect my response.

Most mammals "eat their young" if something is wrong in the environment. Often males will kill the offspring of others males it they take over a group and the females will come back into heat. It's less common for females to kill their own young but it happens. Occasionally we see women kill their children to pursue a romantic interest perhaps with a higher status male. There are many things that could influence instincts. As it relates to the topic at hand abortion is often about time and resources.

It is understandable that women who need support during pregnancy and nursing may not want to rely on a male. This must be especially true for women who cannot attract a high status male. The alternative of marrying the state may be equally unattractive for sexually reasons. Why females want to have independence may be as simple as both dependent children and males may limit survival potential under some circumstances. It's always better evolutionarily to wait and reproduce under favorable conditions.

The assumption that females have a strong instinct for nurturing and no other instincts is a cultural myth. For the most part out recently acquired instincts are over whelmed by "Chimpanzee" instincts. Instincts that make most humans inclined towards a fast lifestyle which are appropriate for easy unstable environments. Since we have only been civilized for a short time the instincts for a slow lifestyle are relatively sporadic in the population. I would say that for the most part the cultural values of the female left reflect the dominate instincts, of fairness, sexual promiscuity, independence from unreliable commitments, a preference for mating with strong leaders, hierarchies based on networking not competence and the outsourcing of violence.

@wolfhnd Humans have accomplished some of the best and worst things in human history, over the last few millenniums.
The best things came from moving past the hand to mouth existence, to a more stable community existence.
The worst things all come from seeking and or obtaining power through dominance, and that seldom turns out well for anyone!!!!!!!!

@Serg97

Dominance is a game.

If a game is properly constructed it will allow a competency hierarchy to exist based on unbiased competition. Those are not sufficient conditions however. A game must also, as Jordan Peterson points out, be seen in relationship to the set of games we call social interaction. He also points out that a proper game must be iterative. That means that people will want to keep playing. Within the set of games an individual will win some and lose others. Regardless to be successful you have to be invited to play. Dominance hierarchies that become tyrannical are those in which the competition is biased and some people will not be playing.

Take the social media game. Because free speech is being suppressed by the media and tech companies the competition is unavoidably biased towards opinions that those who control them hold. Many people have under these conditions either been forced or have chosen to stop playing. At the moment it is the left that has become tyrannical but it is easy to see how the other players could if they came to dominate be equally tyrannical.

Because our primary instincts are evolved for an easy but unstable environment they are a poor fit for a civilized environment. Our instincts are designed for fairness. Fairness however should not be confused with equality of opportunity. In a tribal environment fairness is about distribution not production. Production is left to nature. In a civilized society production is entirely "unnatural". Because civilization creates a harsh but stable environment hierarchies of competence are necessary. Small mistake in managing production come with disastrous consequences.

Since civilization is "unnatural" we have constructed games with rules to counter instincts. As we all know referees can only do so much and voluntary compliance is a necessary part of any game people will want to keep playing. Once people start cheating the civilization collapses.

What the rules should be is the game of politics.

@wolfhnd I, personally, am NOT impressed with Peterson!!!
IMHO, he speaks "educated gobbledgook", which is , again IMHO, a way to avoid PLAN TALK, that leaves NO question of what is being said!!!
Sort of like what you said above!!!!!
I believe in KISS!!!
