Why do we go to the gym even though our environment largely no longer requires physical strength? Because optimizing human physiological health requires those kinds of stresses. Why do we need to be dangerous even though our environment largely no longer requires dangerous confrontation? Because optimizing human psychological health requires those kinds of stresses. Most of us, men and women, recognize the former. Institutionally down to individually. Most of us completely overlook the latter - and the dysfunction of our society shows the price. Women ought to intuitively be dangerous to interlopers. Men ought to intuitively be dangerous to invaders. Undermining has tamed us all to be little threat to either. To correct this we must each become Dangerously Competent.
