> We simply evolved like that and next step of evolution was to become more rational. We are somewhere in the middle. While I'd never call myself agreeable, as I really enjoy argument as a means of engaging communication and establishing bonds with others. I have found this lack of rationality to be a widely spread defect and when reduced is as simple as you describe: I've never been steadfast in even my deepest held beliefs, I often question them myself and look for ways to validate their merit when given the opportunity. Whether that be engage with people who hold opposing views, or simply analyze them to exhaustion on my own. This philosophical outview is what I felt the Sciences would laud as it is the crux of what Scientific model which relies on and tries to achieve via the highy touted peer reviewed model wherein experiments are meant to be replicated and derive their credibility on these criteria: instead after my experience in undergrad in the life sciences and then having spent time in graduate level courses (not enrolled) and befriending two professors I soon realized it's really a petty, tribal, and often passive aggressive environment where it's less about merit of your experiments results and more about 'who knows you' and 'who they know.' On top of that, most experiments are never replicated and when they are they seldom get the same results. I'm not sure which dismays me more, but either way, we need to get past this and I fear social media's optimization models has entrenched this defect deeper into the Human psyche than anyone will ever admit. I think it's less about evolving and more about halting the regression of base feelings and reactions in the Human Condition to be honest.
