Are you also considering an analogy: those with innate capacities for violence tend to favor an aesthetic or desire of joy or peace?

It's not 100% true, but I find that it tends to be.

> those with innate capacities for violence

Pretty sure that's everybody.

Possibly, but some, though willing to aggress on others, quickly cowar at any actual sign of violence.
So heavy metal brings joy, but Nazis and psychopaths love classical music at least in the movies.
I was just speaking to inherent ability for violence, not morality.
