Short transcript of a YouTube video by Mark Hamilton discussing humans' tendency to focus on negatives and gossip. Hamilton suggests this negativity is hardwired from primitive survival instincts—stress-driven communication during early human (bicameral) periods—leading to an emphasis on threats and provoked talking.
Just through life experiences I have learned, I've noticed that people tend to a lot of people tend to almost naturally talk about negatives. That's where gossiping comes from and so on and so forth. I believe that.
It very well could stem back to our primitive mind. It's hardwired in there. If you stop and think back to the bicameral times.
Man would act and would be forced into a decision during that period of leaping from the bicameral mind into the conscious mind under conditions of stress.
Stress threatened survival.
So I'm sure.
If archaeologists and so on studied.
Mankind'S communication it would be largely and is known as largely oriented around stress and that provoked talking.
So think about that our survival, hardwired survival is we need to talk out the negatives first. Get all those negatives out on the table. That sort of explains why gossiping has always been here and probably always will be here at least until we're in the sea of you.
