Like, isn't it interesting how our society considers cannibalism more morally corrupt than ripping the individual limbs off a living fetus in order to terminate a pregnancy?

Also, I'd totally fuck the rotten corpse of a prostitute.

Hey dudes let's be disgusting pigs and talk about eating humans, especially babies. It's okay because we're only being ironic amirite lol

Yea…uuhhh….I'll take a Lisa Lomburger Quadruple Supreme.

Do I want HolyCrapItsBacon on top of that? Yea sure, that should taste good and salty

And I'll have that with a side of Tomberry Fries. Can I have an extra punnet of aoli dip to go with that?

No soda please, I'm watching my sugar intake

From what I can tell, evolution has conditioned us to feel adverse to certain things which, in the context of early man, led to decreased fitness (in the evolutionary sense) of the average member. And thanks to the Red Queen hypothesis, even small disadvantages lead to extermination of the gene pool.

Examples:
No pain = injury = bad

Incest = decreased diversity in genes = less adaptability = bad (AKA the Westermarck effect)

Not thinking babies are cute = more dead babies = bad

Not thinking dogs are cute = less chance of accidental domestication = less food than other tribes = bad

All humans straight = slightly more competition than optional = bad (since gay people can contribute to passing on their genes indirectly, through taking care of family, which was important for early man when every day was a fight for survival, then those benefits outweighed the benefits from increasing the competition for mates in around 90% of the humans who could reproduce to 100%, where after you reach a certain threshold, the returns start to diminish, hence the prostate)

All humans gay = less accidental births = smaller than other tribes = bad, hence the innate aversion of heterosexuals to intimate gay stuff, which is not homophobia as long as people don't use it as an excuse to do anyone harm

Eating human meat = prion diseases and more chance of unproductive killing of own members = bad

Weirdly enough, since things like old age, heart attack, and cancer generally happen after sexual maturity, they only indirectly affect fitness, unlike the examples above, and thus are slower to be weeded out. After all, as long as you live enough to have kids and raise them, then your genes will get passed on, so stuff that happens after 50 isn't likely to make much of a difference.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying religion is bad or evolution is the master race of all creation ideas, or that gay people are inferior or superior to anyone. I'm just trying to demonstrate how evolution, theoretically, leads to some "natural" inclinations to instinctively shy away from certain things, as humans.

Good to see that Verbose is back

@ Lurk, yeah, sorry about that. I can be pretty wordy sometimes. It's a bad habit. I'm not trying to look smart or anything, I'm just not good at figuring out what's not unimportant enough to leave out, I guess.
