“If you defend a behavior by arguing that people are programmed directly for it, then how do you continue to defend it if your speculation is wrong, for the behavior then becomes unnatural and worthy of condemnation.

And that just allows you to take more liberties and have more fun with people's behavior.” PeopleFeelsKindEyeFunLibertySeeingLike YouBehaviorStandingCamerasAddStanding ThereImmediacyWhipping Author:Paul Feig
