Sex and Death
Isn’t it interesting that the same thing that drives us to fuck the cute girl we meet at the bar also causes us to fear death to the point that we’ll do almost anything to delay it?
In other words, the same thing that makes us want to have sex also makes us afraid to die. Isn’t evolutionary psychology interesting?
But it’s also true that young men engage in the most risky behaviors (fighting, drinking, driving fast) because that is when competition is fiercest.
