(22,456 posts)...any psychosis is 'normal' at a certain level within our species diversity, my apologies for using the word.
But what I am referring to is the quantity of members of our society who carry and act on these traits that are antithetical to a working society.
If the percentage of people who behave in ways that are destructive to a cohesive society is too high, that society would destruct. So the balance of people with these traits has obviously been somewhat maintained for us to reach this societal stage.
It seems to me (and I admit I have no evidence at all, this is all just my gut instinct), that there has been an increase in either people carrying these traits, or in people exhibiting these traits that may have been repressed before.
In any case, I disagree with you that our social composition is the same as it ever was. I truly believe that in recent decades there has been an increase in human behavior that is in opposition to a healthy society.
I could, of course, be very wrong. If I am, humanity definite does NOT deserve it's primary species position.
