anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 23:59:48 +0000

Animal abuse, violence towards humans, and psychopathy Actions that mistreat or kill any animal without just cause, such as torturing, tormenting, mutilation, maiming, poisoning, or abandonment, will be seen by many people as a clear indication that the person resorting to them is mentally disturbed and may well be capable of committing violence towards humans with the same ease. Actually, many studies have found a link between animal abuse and various forms of violence.

The philosophy of biological voluntarism

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 23:38:31 +0000

The philosophy of biological voluntarism Voluntarism is a philosophy according to which all forms of human activity, agreement, and association should be as free as possible. It categorically rejects violence as a method of achieving goals. However, being oriented toward non-violent struggle, it permits defensive actions and self-defense against individuals who have violent intentions and initiate attacks since it is, first of all, a philosophy of specifically

Are chimpanzees and humans innately predisposed to commit killings and wars?

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 00:01:33 +0000

Are chimpanzees and humans innately predisposed to commit killings and wars? Why do wars happen? One explanation is that chimpanzees and humans have an innate predisposition to kill “outsiders” when there is little risk because this behavior has provided a reproductive and resource advantage to groups of killers in the course of biological evolution. Such a theory began to be actively developed after a case when two groups of chimpanzees engaged in a “war” in Gombe National Park in 1974–1977.…

The influence of diet on the propensity for violence

The influence of diet on the propensity for violence There are many studies on how the presence or absence of certain compounds in the diet can affect the development and functioning of the brain. In particular, some of them address the topic of aggression, if not directly the influence of diet on the functioning of the violence inhibition mechanism. Given the importance of some of the evidence they provide, which may even suggest new possible approaches to the treatment of violent behavior…

The relationship of extremism and radicalization to psychopathy and other socially negative personality traits There is an interesting question about the role of the individual's personality in extremism (i.e., support for the use of violence in achieving political goals) and in radicalization, including aggressive religious radicalization. In this issue, it is especially worth considering the fact that psychopathic tendencies are the strongest predictor of violent behavior, and thus, it ca…

The problem of indirect violence

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 23:42:48 +0000

The problem of indirect violence Psychopathic tendencies are significantly associated with the violence inhibition mechanism dysfunction, and the more pronounced they are in people, the more likely they are to commit acts of violence. However, will this rule be true if we talk not only about direct violence but also about some indirect aggressive actions aimed at harming other people without coming into physical contact with them?

Moral bioenhancement: the only alternative to global totalitarianism and the destruction of humanity Many existential threats can stand in the way of humanity's long-term existence and prosperity: natural disasters, such as the eruption of a supervolcano or the fall of a huge asteroid; complex processes that are partially influenced by humans, such as climate change; or purely anthropogenic risks, such as the failure to cooperate in solving common problems, the overexploitation of shared natu…

Therapy for aggressive behavior in pets

Therapy for aggressive behavior in pets Pet owners can sometimes encounter overly aggressive behavior from their pets. And it would be good if this problem were always solved by training or other mild methods of behavior correction. However, there are also such severe and untreatable cases that one may consider abandoning the pet or even resorting to euthanasia. Of course, one should not rush with such a decision because if the situation is so bad, there is no reason not to try another option…

Why physical punishment for children is absolutely unacceptable

Why physical punishment for children is absolutely unacceptable Physical (corporal) punishment, or spanking, is the practice of using violence on children to modify their behavior. Unfortunately, there are still parents who consider this practice acceptable, if not absolutely normal. It is also supported by some public figures with ultra-conservative and authoritarian views, such as the American psychologist James Dobson. He believes that gentle parenting methods alone are not enough; they mu…

Proactive epigenesis: upbringing and education as a method of epigenetic fixation of non-violence As we know, the human brain has certain innate dispositions, including a disposition to violence inhibition. However, it is also essential to take into account the influence of culture and society. In this case, we should consider epigenetic mechanisms that play an important role in how the structure of the brain develops in response to ethical and social norms. This can greatly help us eradicate…

The ability to experience empathy and take the perspective of other people in psychopathic individuals It is generally accepted that psychopathic individuals have little or no empathy. This, of course, makes them cold-blooded and callous, even capable of easily committing murder when there is a reason and no significant risks. In addition, this lack of empathy has long cast doubt on the possibility of simple and effective treatment for their condition.

Violence inhibitor dysfunction is a cause of abusive relationships

Violence inhibitor dysfunction is a cause of abusive relationships When entering into any kind of relationship, and especially when it comes to romantic relationships and starting a family, people, as a rule, expect to receive mutual benefits. Of course, there are rarely relationships without flaws and problems that, one way or another, have to be solved or accepted as they are. But what people definitely do not want from them is harm in any of its forms, including physical and psychological.…

Millions of men who have never shot a human being believe they could become real soldiers. But in reality, war is psychologically debilitating for 98% of all who participate in it because the average and healthy individual has a strong inner resistance to killing. And the 2% who are not driven insane by war and are actually effective soldiers appear to have alrea…

Potentially effective treatment of violent behavior in humans

Potentially effective treatment of violent behavior in humans Violent behavior, including different forms of abuse and physical attacks, is a huge problem in human relationships. However, relying on simple persuasion or even behavioral psychotherapy can often be ineffective or overly demanding approaches. Therefore, it is crucial to consider a potentially faster and more effective approach that involves treating violent behavior with medications.
