Transhumanism – reddit

Our natural behavior is to eat and reproduce above all and to fight and defend over food, resources, and mates. The problem is that our bodies are designed to eat the most high calorie foods and store energy as fat which leads to chronic diseases and early death. We also become easily controlled by our emotions which often leads to self-destructive behaviors and violence (physical and mental) and murder. Our brains are also maladapted to modern society and mental illness is super common now because many of us cannot cognitively handle reality as it is. Our genes make it where almost everything that gives us pleasure is harmful to us (eating meat, drinking alcohol, risky exciting behavior like sports/irresponsible sex) even at times with moderation - but thats what drives most of our actions. Our body is designed to live just long enough to propagate our genes and protect them through raising children and then dying.

I just think its ridiculous that people value being human and willingly accept the self-destructive drives we have as being normal and use it to justify being unhealthy.
