A short monologue by Mark Hamilton arguing that humans naturally focus on negative information and gossip, a tendency he suggests is hardwired from primitive (bicameral) times when stress threatened survival. He links modern communication patterns to survival-driven stress responses, noting repetition and emphasis in his delivery.
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 about 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 that it is largely oriented around stress. And that provoked talking.
Think about that our survival, hard wired 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.
