People are Animals, this Explains Everything

Exactly, Gambler. Lila, that ego is damn good at suppressing our soul’s creative drive!

So evolution has not removed the primitive animal instincts in humans, but if animals were given intelligence, evolution would favor them enough to also remove their primitive behaviors too. Yea, I’m highly skeptical of that. 

I don't think that. My point is that evolution takes strange paths and can differ significantly between species, even relatively close ones.

We are closely related to chimpanzees, yet our evolutions are different.

I think that evolution is not very likely to completely remove primitive instincts from intelligent animals because they are so fundamental to survival. However, these intelligent animals can use their intelligence to manage their instincts wisely and avoid acting on primitive instincts when there is no survival threat.

Humans do this to some extent, but I believe they can do better. They don’t use their intelligence wisely enough, often channeling it into the wrong things, like spending vast amounts of time and money on expanding to Mars while actively ruining our own planet, even though we still have the power to save it, but we doing nothing. Or creating guns and engaging in constant wars and destruction.

And maybe, if some animals were given human intelligence, they would use it more wisely, or at least their period of unwise behavior would be significantly shorter and less destructive than ours. Who knows? This is all very hypothetical.

Currently we are the biggest mess on earth.

When I saw this, I gave up on knowing. Amazing. I saved this to my phone a few months back.
