Most people, when they turn to look at the car wreck, they're not hoping that there's somebody injured.

The Jordan Harbinger Show

But if there is, you don't want to miss out on that information because how often are you going to come across that?

When you drive by the car wreck, if you do end up seeing something, you feel disgusted and you're like, man, why did I look at that?

And that's pretty typical of a morbidly curious experience, especially one that involves bodily injuries.

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

That would be a good example of curiosity about what happens to the body when you engage with something dangerous, whether it's an accident or intentional result of violence.

I think there are actually multiple pressures on interest in bodily injuries.

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

I think that's one of them.

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

You get a good taste of like, OK, how dangerous is this thing I'm doing?

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

What are the consequences of it?

If you see a crime scene, for example, of a break in.

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

If you see what happened to the body, it gives you a pretty good indication of how dangerous that person or that predator is.

If you're walking through the forest, you come across a body and it's got like a few cuts on it, but nothing really major, you're not going to be that concerned.

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

You're like, man, what happened to this person?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
