This is one thing I will probably just never understand about people. If I'm wrong, I want to know about it. Why wouldn't you?
I get that there are a multitude of reasons, yadda yadda, but it's just so difficult for me to empathize with someone who has that mentality. You really want to live with a bunch of (potentially dangerous) misconceptions? Doesn't that go against basic survival instincts (lizard brain) at the very least?

- Amadou 13y agoSure, but it is still a catch-all term for base, low-cognitive mental processes. I don't literally think lizards are tribal, if anything the opposite.
