sammy:
it completely changed my perception of violence
Sid:
what do you think that violence is now?
sammy:
scientifically, it's a manifestation of natural hormone production
most murderers are males between the age of 16 and 25
Sid:
high test
peak rather
sammy:
and not coincidentally that's when testosterone levels are roughly double any other time in their lives
Sid:
makes sense to me
sammy:
so we recruit these idiots to "protect us"
soldiers and police officers
Sid:
oh my, deep insight there
sammy:
we need their violence
Sid:
so society is like using them naturally, as "resources"
sammy:
yep
Sid:
I mean, it's natural or not, depending on where you sit your perspective at, or how far you zoom out.
sammy:
well, it's natural for most mammals
i was shocked when i watched "bambi" recently
Sid:
oh yeah?
sammy:
i had no idea it was considered an "anti-communism-skreed"
there's a scene where bambi is a teen and has small horns
and another young buck gets between bambi and the young doe he's set his eye on
the interesting bit is that the "rival" is almost identical to bambi, only slightly darker
bambi thinks this rival is "attacking" the doe
but in reality, it's "rescuing" the doe from bambi
they battle and one of the young bucks falls to their death off a cliff
Sid:
damn
sammy:
and i really can't tell which one dies
i like to think it's bambi who was killed
and the rest of the movie plays out with a new lead, and the audience never notices
Sid:
lol
sammy:
cause the deer are all going to do the same thing
eat and rut
Sid:
been so long since I seen bambi
sammy:
there are no "domestic abuse police" for deer
Sid:
ahh
sammy:
each young buck thinks they're the "good guy"
Sid:
never tried to think from the mind of an animal before
RE: this vid completely changed how i think of violence in society
