Excellent & Very Interesting Craig, My wife and I listened to this Video. " We want to Punish People that act immorally due to High Testosterone(Men). Men who are obsessed with other people getting Endless Punishment have high levels of Testosterone, I guess mine is too low,  ;D. Oxytosin incredible, thumbs up Craig for this Thread.

Hi Craig

your video lead me to a link I took that lead me to this one:

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions.html (http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_of_our_own_decisions.html)

And does anyone still;  doubts that our will is not caused?



and I have also decided (because of many causation's) to bring back this another good video, that somebody posted a long time ago:

Moises

(I really hope to someday have the ability to talk and be able to take this illusion out of some peoples minds)

Makes me think of a book one of my sister's turned me on to "The Alchemy of Love and Lust," all about the different hormones and their functions and how a person can do things in order to achieve a better bond with others. You can read an excerpt of it at google books:  http://books.google.com/books?id=de2KAi7_6s4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=alchemy+of+love+and+lust.pdf&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vxH7Tp3LHcqQiAL1h4WkDg&ved=0CDMQuwUwAA#v=onepage&q=alchemy%20of%20love%20and%20lust.pdf&f=false (http://books.google.com/books?id=de2KAi7_6s4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=alchemy+of+love+and+lust.pdf&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vxH7Tp3LHcqQiAL1h4WkDg&ved=0CDMQuwUwAA#v=onepage&q=alchemy%20of%20love%20and%20lust.pdf&f=false)


Also, makes me think of Fatal Attraction where Glenn Close's character got a little attention from Michael Douglas' character and when he backed off she boiled his bunny.  ;D  (Sorry, don't mean to make light of the women (and men) out there who are that obsessive/compulsive.  It's just that, that movie was so over-dramatized it was almost silly.)

But I can see how people can get that attached, almost addicted to another just from touch.  Since oxytocin is the chemical that bonds mother and child at birth, and I've researched it and oxytocin actually produces as euphoric a feeling as do opiates--like heroin, then it should come as no surprise that some people will resort to doing stupid maniacal stuff just to get a fix.

We each have the amazing capability of manipulating another's emotions so easily (except for the 5 percent of psychopaths  and that tells me we need to be very careful and carry a syringe filled oxytocin just in case.  j/k)  I have been the victim of this once or twice or three or four times.  

Looking back, the hug/touch-trust method is the very method I believe those priests used to manipulate all those young boys into giving themselves up.
But I digress...

"There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other." - Clarence Darrow
