ive been up to my eyeballs lately in literature on primates, and it makes humans look weird. We're floating in this tiny little insulated ball of peace when it seems like all of reality was built out of lil biological machines screaming and killing each other so they can fuck

So essentially they're stuck in a primal version of 16-25 year old human young adulthood? I had friends that spent most of their free time in their early 20s fighting and fucking inside and outside of various nightclubs.

no, worse. depending on the primate species, ofc. Like half of all orangutan sex is rape, most gorillas experience the murder of an infant, chimpanzees regularly beat the shit out of their females so they're too scared to resist sex, spider monkeys have collective male domination

So it's a mix of young adult hormones guided by the impulse control of a toddler and a psychopath's morals. It's also interesting to see how humans swapped out violence for verbal manipulation and degradation to nefariously achieve many of our same collective primate goals.

I bet it would be possible to diagnose PTSD in monkeys if they tried, and that it wouldn't be that difficult to trigger them.
