      Humans run on corrupted hardware: mental health. Trauma, depression, akrasia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akrasia ), suicide, addiction to junk food, and many common mental health "illnesses" are most likely not illnesses. They are 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 that get activated.

      Abuse (sexual, physical, emotional) doesn't directly cause trauma in the same way as a knife wound causes a scar. Our brains are deliberately wired to go into a trauma-mode following abuse.

      I knew someone whose parents had the bright idea of showing them hardcore pornography when they were a young child. The result was a person who had trouble holding down a relationship and had a bunch of what we politely call "issues".

      I also recently met someone else with really serious anger "issues". Unsurprisingly they told me that they had been abused physically as a child.

      But it's important to remember that these "issues" are nature's way of adapting a person to what nature's best guess about the environment is.

      Zoom out a bit and think about it like this: your unconscious mind has been mercilessly optimized by evolution. It would probably be easier for the adult brain to have a personality that simply couldn't be "damaged" by abuse (a constant is simpler than a variable!) ...

      ... so why aren't we like that? Because that wouldn't be optimal: the people who didn't adapt based on these signals were less able to survive and reproduce in the past.

      🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲 On food: the theory behind the so-called "Shangri-La diet" is basically that nice food triggers an adaptation in humans for us to gorge ourselves and put on fat, in a way that bland food doesn't.

      I'm not sure I entirely believe the diet & its theory, but it's worth noting that in the past being somewhat fat was likely highly adaptive, as that stored fat could be used to survive through harsh times (famine).

      That's a complex question because it touches on sexual attractiveness versus survival and the trade-off is different for different life stages and is different for women and men and is different for women and men in a common environment that varies across groups.

      Plus there's a trade-off with ability to fight and perform physical tasks (although purely for fighting extra weight is usually an advantage - for example: the greatest hand-to-hand combatant of all time in his prime)pic.twitter.com/0wKdTYQlQD
