—“This is a problem of extending in group loyalty to all humans. Human genes are only valuable should they be closely related to your own or at least not destructive to your own.

As an emotionally relatable example the cockroach works well. I kill the roach not because I hate the roach, I kill it not for the sake of killing but because it poses some danger to me. I kill the rabbits in my garden not for any hatred of rabbits but because they are destructive to my ends. I kill the deer not because I enjoy hurting it but because it is made of food.

But when we get to those who posses human genes or even humanish form (dicks out for Harambe) there is something in the human mind, whether genetic or memetic I’m not sure, that is repulsed by killing. It may be that this trait was adaptive in that any costs imposed on me by others are less than the costs imposed by the results of humans not being repulsed by killing other humans, even those unrelated to them.”— Ben B.
