		vezzy-fnord on Dec 5, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Human Brains Are Wired to Blame Rather Than Praise It stands to reason that the brain structures we have without deliberate practice are not some reflection of our social context, but a neutral state of the human brain, what with your aptly demonstrating the phenomenon being discussed even in light of professing awareness of an alleged "hierarchical society based on relations of dominance".

I guess having a negative reaction and voicing it is "assigning blame". That seems watered out though.

And being aware of some dynamic is totally different from being free or above its influence.

Expressing exasperation isn't assigning blame.
