Sadly, we are barely civilized. A hundred-thousand of years need to pass to make hormones civilization compatible. We have prehistoric hardware -hormones- and modern software -law, rites, supposed behaviour. Current law is like a dog slow virtual machine running under a Pentium MMX and some software on it. Picture subleq/muxleq running Eforth under 233 MHZ based CPU running an ASCII Art Mandelblot with integers. At least you will need a minute or two to render it.

Biology it's the same, hormones run much faster than social customs.

We tried with religion/law, which the 'original sin' it's just a metaphor on hormone drived behaviours VS the learned behaviours in order to create a successful civilization/trive/society without wars. Probably that happened after last big ice defrosting.

Geologically speaking, we are civilized beings since 'yesterday'.

We tried that by force: Stalinisms, religion based totalitarian states, nazism creating a demon scapegoat... they failed. You can't drive changes on decades. It's impossible. Humanities' people fail to understand this. You need an effort of millenia in order to get some visible results.

Speak for yourself, it seems like you’re really invested in something biological being “at fault” for something. You’re thread sitting which is never a good look, but worse still when you are spouting some kind of personal philosophy held up as science.

Is not personal philosphy but actual science.

Now keep your Humanities away from actual facts, please.

BTW, my favourite pop-science Mathematician it's a woman and the subject she loves most it's DIscrete Math, something directly related to my beloved computers too. She has no issues with the rest of branches but as I said the one she feels more confortable with it's graphs, nodes and whatnot.

Said entirely with love, this is a worse look, a cliche even. https://www.quora.com/What-s-wrong-with-saying-some-of-my-be...

That says more about your prejudice than my supposed one:

Said this, most Mathematicians -no matter women or men- owe a lot to Gardner and Conway.
