I’m talking about the fight/fuck/dominate hormones. Testosterone, estrogen. The reason why putting a pretty girl in an advertisement works so well. And it might explain a lot of aggression too.

Take them out of the equation and that’s 99% of politics, advertising and popular music gone.

I guess that needed to be clearer.

    Hormones is too broad a word to use without being more specific. ‘Taken by everybody’ is a bit broad and inaccurate. Personally I have to inject a very powerful hormone several times a day to avoid dying, which most people produce naturally in sufficient quantities (insulin). I assume you’re talking about exogenous testosterone and I agree, people without a medical need for this should not have access to it.
