Disgust Theory is partially supported scientific claim I made that anti pedophilia happens because cultures label pedophilia as child harm due to half baked partial truths, such as mixing coercive cases with peaceful pedos, and because of cultural biases the threat of child harm taps into the same parts of the brain that wild animals use to defend their their young from threats, and these parental instincts over ride logic and are very primitive and deep seated in our evolution with the first evidence of parental care in animals going back since the Cambrian Explosion 530 million years ago when parental protection first evolved. With birds, crocodiles and mammals all 100s of millions of years apart all showing the same parental protection instincts such as fighting to the death to protect their young. We also talk about Paul Rozin's research on Disgust and how the same parts of the brain that detect rotten food also were repurposed by evolution to do two new things. 1) detect norm violations and label cultural norm violators disgusting 2) reject unwanted sexual cues and how the Disgust system is used against gays, lesbians and MAPS. We also tie this into research on "us" vs "them" thinking and how Robert Sapsolsky's research shows human brains are hardwired to divide the world into simple "us vs them" categories and more research about how stress and anxiety are known to mainstream science to tap into predator prey dynamics, Stress evolved when wild animals chased us, and anxiety evolved to predict dangerous animals in advance. So summed up the predatory animals that once ate children are gone in today's world but the neurocircuits to detect them are not, and we MAPs are evolutionary mismatched as a threat by many cultures and combining that problem with addition complications of disgust, us vs them thinking, and moral outrage leads to a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM against us MAPs, and the goal is to get normies to reason their way out of brutish instincts, by framing anti MAP behavior as a evolutionary mismatch and having antis introspect their sense of disgust, rage and peer pressure towards us using enlightenment values. Thus reasoning their way out of anti MAP attitudes.


Let's apply this way of thinking to fight racism

This is what happens when Disgust Theory's logic is applied to fight racism

Humans are NOT born with DNA or genes that makes them racist. Duh! Racism is NOT evolutionary selected as a default. Its a cultural thing. Its a possible outcome with a higher chance then many other potential cultural biases happening though. So I am saying racism is a more likely problem to happen in a culture due to how our brains work. We are evolutionary hardwired to divide the world into "us" vs "them" (ALL HUMANS DO THIS) and the "us" is usually the ingroup culture and the "them" is the outgroup, which can be a different culture. And since we have highly developed visual systems and brains meant to categorize things, we detect obvious skin tone differences, and many other regions of our brains detect taboo and cultural differences, which causes the brain of a ignorant lay person to classify different racial/cultural groups further apart as a "them" So uneducated people who don't know about 1) melanin in skin shaping the tone, 2) and how moral norm disgust is tied to the same parts of the brain that detect rotten food and 3) the dangers of us vs them thinking, is far more susceptible to fall victim to the dangerous pseudoscience doctrines of racism. That's how cultures have the potential to become racist. But just because uneducated people are susceptible to being racist. Science and reason can override and prevents that dangerous ideology from spreading, acting as a counter to divert and transform racist into anti racist once they REASON their way out of it.

Enlightenment hits when we realize melanin levels and peaceful cultural norm differences are NOT valid ways to judge someone, rather we should be judged by individual merit and demerit alone, and racism is invalid and abhorrent and must be combated by all members of a free society, so we stay a free society. Evolution favored "us vs them" thinking, and racism is one of the more likely potential outcomes of it unfortunately, but we reason our way out of bad biology and REASON overpowers brutish instinctual programming.

That's how Disgust Theory type logic expands to racism. See what I am doing? I am using evolutionary sciences to dismantle racism.

I am left wing. I'm on your side too in standing in solidarity against racism, anti lgbt and harm done to any peaceful minority group. I just don't think blaming alone western society, colonialism, patriarchy, Christianity and capitalism will work. I disagree with that method alone. While criticism of these things are valid and Christianity is bullshit unsupported by evidence, and colonialism did enormous extreme harm to nations like Africa, India and South America. It appears the far left made big errors on over focusing on these things with intersectionality research. So please consider thinking outside your comfort zone. See how Disgust Theory's logic can be expanded.

Try to think like a evolutionary psychologist and fuck racism.
