It would have been a tense situation, not a fun situation for anybody.

Yeah.

So humans are much less reactively aggressive than most other animals and certainly most other social primates.

But we developed a new kind of aggression.

We developed what's called proactive aggression.

So now we can sit back and we can plot and think about when we're gonna attack someone and how we can do it when they're unprepared.

We make that distinction in our criminal justice system.

So if you kill someone out of a crime of passion, right?

Come home and you find your wife in bed with someone else.

Your brother.

Your brother, especially.

You're going to commit a crime of passion, right?

And you're going to get punished for that.

You'll go to jail, depending on the state and the circumstances, let's say 10 to 40 years, 10 to 30 years.

You might walk in Kentucky.

In the Southern honor cultures, you might walk.

But if you decide that you don't like your wife anymore and you're just going to kill her and you plot that, now it would be first degree murder and you can be put to death in certain states.

And we reserve that for premeditated aggression.

We intuitively recognize that this premeditated aggression is a problem.

Yeah.
