Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual?

  You seem to have a very poor grasp on science, engineering, and horticulture.

    Skinny kids who couldn’t make it on the football field trying to eke out supremacy in a different arena? Ok, that’s a fair argument.

      What? Please research the endocrine system before making another comment

        I’m talking about the famous ones and their famous effects. Testosterone. Estrogen. Horniness. Aggression. Obsession with titties.

        Now that my point is clearer, speculate.

  You… You know that hormones naturally occur in the body right? You know that without hormones, no one would grow ever? Hormones regulate eating, sleep, and more. You know this, right?

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume OP is only referring to sex hormones, though this could have been made clearer in the question…

      Yes. You are right. Maybe I could have been clearer.

    These are the hormones to which I referred in the op. I thought that was clear.

    Ok, maybe “taking” wasn’t the right term but I couldn’t think of better.

    I specifically refer to the big famous mind-altering ones. Testosterone. Estrogen.

    The fight-fuck hormones.

      The fight-fuck hormones.

      You seem to be under the impression that “fight and fuck” are the only things caused by sexual hormones.

      There have been studies how low testosterone/estrogen levels affect overall health:

      Symptoms include hot flashes, hair loss, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, fatigue, descreasing bone mass (osteoporosis), declining cognitive functions. increased risk of anemia, low blood pressure. (Testosterone, Estrogen)

      This applies to both hormones by the way. Every human body, no matter their assigned gender, produces both Testosterone and Estrogen, albeit at different levels. If you would somehow delete both T and E from your body completely, you’d end up as a depressed, overweight, brittle-boned, constantly tired person with memory issues and a messed-up sleep schedule.

        OP is a troll who spouts a lot of pseudoscience and tries to sound like a caricature of an intellectual while doing so. It’s not clear whether they are doing it for the lulz or they are, in fact, dumb as a rock.

        I said remove the mental influences of T and E. Not remove T and E completely.

        Because powerful uncontrolled mental influences are something that we don’t like.

        Then assume that we could remove the mind-altering effects without touching the rest.
