  2.  @djwaltoaram7052  You have a very surface level understanding of how biology (physics) translates into a universal mechanism of sentience and universal morality (which depends on sentience). What you are trying to do, is to feel convinced of your understanding a large mass of information by simply knowing a few topics and using that to conclude that you fully understand it to make a final judgement on the matter. When as a matter of fact, you can easily see for yourself when animals help other animals out of no objective benefit to themselves, and at times also end up risking their own survival. And on the other hand they have no pedestal for their own specie, everyone is open to killing if it comes to that. There is proof of bears saving drowning birds, cats saving fishes. Dogs helping lizards n shit. Just ONE example is enough to negate your claim of "they only help their own specie. And it's even weirder because you contradict yourself in the next line saying "inter specie violence is their way of life". They conduct both, Inter and intra species violence. These examples you use are prone to violence in all spaces. Humans also have naturally been lovers of intraspecies violence. Does that mean if someone threatens to kill you for your house and belongings, you will just "handle it naturally" and not call the cops? Because calling the cops or reporting to any "authority" would be unnatural of human behavior. You're believing in 2 mutually incompatible things. And you only delude yourself. Whether it makes you feel good or not is another matter entirely. "And its not wrong. It cannot be fixed." This shows how you don't even know evolution is change and progress, because you have confused it as some unchanging process. Which is the only way your conjecture feels valid.

  4. ​ @djwaltoaram7052  Clearly I'm not the one jumping to any conclusions here. I merely responded to what you wrote to me. You are not the one who had to spend their time replying to 'some guy on youtube' lol. Just how a physicist cannot make any unfounded claim and vindicate it by saying "I've been working as a physicist since I left university 6 years ago". And neither can you. I certainly didn't "insult you". I said you are wrong and delusional. Which you in turn, took as something to feel insulted by. I made no ad hominems here. While you indirectly call me ignorant without anything to back it up with. For an ethologist 6 years practicing, saying something as surface-level as and I quote " it appears to be the same with humanity. And its not wrong. It cannot be fixed. Life after all is just a bunch of physical and chemical reactions" is really not doing yourself any favors. It's evident enough already, that when all adaptive pressures that give rise to violent/aggressive traits within organisms are removed, the impulses/genes/traits associated with them will also recede into non-existence (or can be forcefully removed, given sufficient technology). It is merely a matter of the specie within any ecosystem, that evolves into the niche of abstraction, to reach a point in its advancement, where it can completely overwrite the evolutionary paradigm of that ecosystem (such as earth, for homo sapiens). At that point natural evolution takes a back seat. Basically, you were wrong in claiming that this is how it is and it's never gonna change cuz evolution.
