If that is all you’ve taken out of seeing human history and haven’t seen a trend directly related to the use and intake of heavy metals and the sort, and in the modern age the difference between murder rates in the US, by population and police, compared to the rest of the western world, you haven’t seen nearly enough of human history to understand anything.
Historically, the prevalence of just lead on its own boosted the aggression and sociopathic behavior of the population to ludicrous extents and these days, when that should be very little of a factor, the US still far outranks anyone else on the same developmental level by obscene levels.
It’s a combination of the US being sucky about environmental pollution and having a serious societal problem with police being murderous asshats and people being OK with it.
Is that the human condition or the prevalence of heavy metals in everything …
Interesting how people chilled down worldwide the more we took those elements out of the food supply and are only more common in areas where the standards about heavy metals and other environmental pollutants are shit.
And for the western world, the US is an outright aberration, from general murder rates to how specifically the police are 10-20x more probable to murder people over absolutely nothing than anywhere else in the west.
Fuck, even Mexico has a lower deaths by police rate per capita than the US. And they are constantly at war with the cartels.
Because a normal human being does not in any way enjoy taking another persons life?
Normal humans don’t sign up to be pigs
Is it though? I’ve seen enough of human history to outright dispute that claim.

Pictures of crowds of people smiling and bringing their children during lynchings (and taking souvenirs!) would say otherwise.
