Human Behavior
Sam Aurelius Milam III
There
are various possible sources of motivation for human behavior. We
might like to deny some of them because they challenge our notions about
how we control our behavior intelligently, how we aren't controlled by
our instincts, and how superior we are to the animals. I'm kind of
sympathetic with those notions myself but, even so, much of the motivation
for human behavior might be adequately explained by the following little
theory, containing only two simple ideas.
| Much
of the motivation for the behavior of men follows from a genetic mandate
to impregnate as many different women as possible. |

Here are some of my thoughts regarding those two ideas.
Every
man has millions of male ancestors from whom he inherited behavioral tendencies.
Those male ancestors who were more successful at impregnating a large number
of different women passed on their behavioral tendencies to more descendants
than did those ancestors who were less successful. Thus, over many
generations, the behavioral tendency of men to impregnate as many different
women as possible accumulated in the human genome, and forms the basis
for much of male behavior.
Every
woman has millions of female ancestors from whom she inherited behavioral
tendencies. The female ancestors who were more successful at controlling
men, for support, were better able to raise more children, and passed on
their behavioral tendencies to more descendants than did those women who
were less successful. Thus, over many generations, the behavioral
tendency of women to control men accumulated in the human genome, and forms
the basis for much of female behavior.
Most
of us, conditioned as we are to political correctness, might reject this
theory but, in fact, the inherent objective of any species, including ours,
is for the species to survive. The strategy for survival includes
the successful production of viable offspring. Some people might
doubt that the theory applies to our species but that isn't determined
by the theory's popularity. That's determined by its operation.
This theory seems to explain much of observed human behavior. The
alternate theories mostly provide a lot of job security for psychologists.
Note that I don't have any financial stake in the theory that I'm suggesting
here.
The
reasoning behind the theory is simple. It's concise, general, and
unambiguous. So far as I can tell, nothing in our advanced technologies
or modern societies has changed the motivation that's proposed by the theory.
Anybody who observes people for a while might eventually accept the theory.
Of course, general approval or acceptance isn't a necessary prerequisite
for the validity of a theory. This theory is worthy of consideration,
whether or not anybody likes it.

I also read an interesting comparison of yours about a vector and the universe
[Understanding
Gobbledygook, April 2005, page 3], and how we manipulate one and
may be able to do the same to the other.
On
that subject, I recently received what I believe to be confirmation of
one of my most ancient theories. That is, our science and our technology
is completely limited by our grandparent star. In other words, the
star that blew up and formed the nebula from which our parent star, and
current solar system, was formed. Long story short 30 years ago
Bob Lazar spilled the beans about what we had at Area 51 and Wright Patterson
AFB. He was marginalized, threatened, and ignored. What they
had that made everything else work at those facilities was a stable isotope
of element 115. And lots of it. Fast forward today everyone
is trying to develop even a fleeting glimpse of element 115.
My
theory has always been that we don't have the science and technology that
is written about by countless SF authors because we came from the wrong
star. We only got 92 elements and therefore we are prisoners of our
own stellar evolution. Descendants from bigger and badder stars are
the ones who get to roam the galaxy.
Add
that theory to my other ancient the-
