The villains aren't strong enough.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And the protagonist is somewhat, you know, when you use the phrase formidability, there's a lot of things that play into that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

Like the core of that is how big and strong are you?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

That's how our brain processes it.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

But there are things that make you more formidable, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

If you have a gun, if you're really smart, you have a lot of allies.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

These are all things that increase your perceived formidability, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

He's not very big and strong, but neither are the burglars and they're really dumb and they don't have a lot of resources.

1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

They don't work well together.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So their formidability goes down.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

I would say four types of morbid curiosity.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So you have morbid curiosity.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

It's like this overall trait that you have.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

That's your total interest in things that are dangerous, right?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

And then there's different ways you can express that out in the world.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So one of those is minds of dangerous people, which we talked about.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1276: Coltan Scrivner | The Evolutionary Logic of Morbid Curiosity

So that would tap into this interest in understanding who's dangerous.
