The monkey brain associates their color with misery, poverty, lack of choice, so less chance to live longer and more satisfying lives..

..similar to a homeless man who hasn't washed for a long time..

..so the monkey brain is less receptive to the idea of putting his sperm in such a womb, because it believes that the child that would come out would have this ''fate'', so less chance of survival, so wasted energy and effort..

In contrast, the monkey brain associates white skin with being ''in the shadows'' (so something intervenes between you and external factors that could shorten your lifespan), in a room, preserved, so valuable, protected from dust, wind, rain, sun, etc., so status..

..because you don't have to go outside for food or other things to ensure your survival, because someone else is sacrificing that for you, someone obviously with less status..

On the right is a man who earns $10 a day and on the left is a man who earns $340 a day, but they both have something in common, and that's the way their skin looks..

Why is this happening? Because they are exposed to external factors (dust, wind, sun, etc.) that put their health at risk, and in any case, increase their chances of shortening their lifespan..

Spoiler: GPT chat explaining why and how this happens

Long-term exposure to dust, wind, and sun can have significant effects on health and potentially reduce life expectancy. The impacts depend on the severity and duration of exposure, as well as individual factors such as age, overall health, and genetic predisposition. Here's a breakdown of how each factor contributes:

---

1. Dust Exposure​

• Respiratory Issues:
  • Chronic inhalation of dust can lead to respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and silicosis (caused by inhalation of silica dust in industrial or desert areas).
  • Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing inflammation and increasing the risk of lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and premature death.
• Immune System Strain:
  • Dust often carries allergens, bacteria, fungi, or toxic substances that can trigger chronic inflammation or infections.
• Cardiovascular Effects:
  • Dust exposure is linked to higher risks of hypertension and heart disease due to systemic inflammation caused by inhaled particles.

---

2. Wind Exposure​

• Skin Damage:
  • Constant wind exposure can strip natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, cracking, and susceptibility to infections.
• Eye Irritation:
  • Wind often carries debris and particles that can irritate the eyes, causing conditions like dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, or long-term damage to the cornea.
• Exacerbation of Respiratory Problems:
  • Wind can transport dust and allergens, worsening conditions like asthma or bronchitis.

---

3. Sun Exposure​

• Skin Cancer:
  • Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation increases the risk of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
• Premature Aging:
  • Chronic UV exposure accelerates photoaging, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation changes, and loss of skin elasticity.
• Eye Damage:
  • UV rays can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygium (growth on the conjunctiva).
• Immune System Suppression:
  • Excessive sun exposure can suppress local immune responses, reducing the skin's ability to combat infections and certain cancers.

---

Combined Effects on Life Expectancy​

The cumulative effects of dust, wind, and sun exposure can accelerate the onset of chronic diseases, reduce quality of life, and ultimately lower life expectancy. For example:

• Cardiopulmonary Diseases: Airborne dust contributes to higher rates of heart and lung diseases, which are leading causes of mortality.
• Cancer Risks: UV exposure significantly increases the likelihood of skin cancer, which can be fatal if not detected early.
• Chronic Inflammation: Persistent irritation from dust and wind can exacerbate systemic inflammation, linked to conditions like diabetes and autoimmune disorders.

Chat GPT also tells us some interesting things, namely:

''Mitigation Strategies:
- Protective Measures: Use protective clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and face masks.
- Environment Control: Install air purifiers, use protective barriers like windbreaks, and plant vegetation to reduce dust in living areas.

Long-term preventive care and proactive measures can reduce the risks associated with these environmental exposures, potentially extending life expectancy.''

So back to where we started again..

The way your skin is looking is associated by the monkey brain as a conclusion of a chain of events.. namely the inability to do what gpt chat suggested..

..that means you are forced (for various reasons, idk, you are a slave a few hundred years ago and you have to work in agriculture and construction, or you work today in construction to earn money not to die because you don't know how to do something else, or you are a homeless person who has to stand outside and expose himself to earn money because he doesn't know how to do something else, etc.) shorten your lifespan involuntarily in order to survive..

..while the girl in the gif above doesn't have to do it (I detailed in the first replay), so the monkey brain thinks that if he leaves his sperm in the uterus of the girl on the left (let's say on the right is a girl, not a guy), the baby will have a better chance of survival..

..because a skin that looks like that is again associated with a ''handicap'' (handicap that decreases life satisfaction and life span), similar to a work accident (you lose an eye, you lose your hearing, your sight, an arm or a leg, etc.) because you have risked and exposed yourself to external factors..

Spoiler: Chat GPT explains here why exposure to these factors makes skin the way it does

Yes, prolonged exposure to wind, dust, and sun can significantly change the complexion by affecting the skin's texture, color, and overall health. Here's how each factor contributes:

---

1. Wind Exposure​

• Dryness and Redness:
  • Wind strips the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation.
  • Constant exposure to cold or harsh winds can cause windburn, making the skin red, inflamed, and sensitive.
• Cracking and Roughness:
  • Over time, frequent wind exposure can make the skin feel rough or uneven due to loss of moisture and protective oils.
• Increased Sensitivity:
  • The skin may become more prone to sensitivity or allergic reactions.

---

2. Dust Exposure​

• Dull Complexion:
  • Dust particles can clog pores and build up on the skin, leading to a dull, lifeless appearance.
  • Dirt and pollution in the dust contribute to uneven skin tone and loss of radiance.
• Acne and Breakouts:
  • Dust can trap oils and bacteria on the skin, increasing the risk of acne and other blemishes.
• Hyperpigmentation:
  • Fine particles in dust may exacerbate inflammation, leading to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in some individuals.

---

3. Sun Exposure​

• Tanning and Sunspots:
  • Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation triggers melanin production, causing tanning, freckles, and sunspots (solar lentigines).
• Hyperpigmentation:
  • Uneven dark patches, often seen as melasma, can develop due to chronic sun exposure.
• Premature Aging:
  • UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, collectively known as photoaging.
  • Chronic exposure can also lead to discoloration, making the skin appear uneven.
• Redness and Inflammation:
  • Sunburn damages skin cells, causing redness and peeling, and repeated damage can result in permanent changes to the skin’s texture and color.

---

Cumulative Effects​

• Rough Texture: Combined exposure to wind, dust, and sun can lead to thickened, rough skin as it tries to protect itself from environmental stressors.
• Uneven Skin Tone: Hyperpigmentation and redness from sun exposure, coupled with dullness from dust, can result in an uneven complexion.
• Long-Term Changes: Over years, repeated exposure can lead to skin that appears weathered, with more pronounced wrinkles, spots, and loss of elasticity.

---

Prevention and Care​

To protect and improve complexion:

1. Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, even on cloudy days.
2. Moisturize: Apply a good moisturizer to combat dryness and restore the skin's barrier.
3. Cleanse Regularly: Use gentle cleansers to remove dust and pollutants.
4. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and use hydrating serums, such as those with hyaluronic acid.
5. Protective Clothing: Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing when outdoors.
6. Exfoliate: Use mild exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and promote an even complexion.
7. Antioxidants: Incorporate products with vitamin C or E to combat free radical damage caused by sun and pollution.

By addressing these environmental factors proactively, you can maintain a healthier and more even complexion despite exposure.

So the monkey brain basically associates that there's something ''wrong'' with you (lower health, shorter time spent alive), so lower chances for your children to survive, because it's all based on the amount of time and energy invested -> reward received (if you present a risk of losing your health/life prematurely from the start, and the other partner dies for any other unforeseen reason, the child is more likely to die for any reason, like in modern life, maybe he will be depressed about losing his parents, he will overdose on substances and die, before he can have children like you did)

But if you don't pose such a risk (the need to risk your health/life because you have no choice) it means that you will manage to live even if your partner dies for any other totally unexpected reason, so the kid will still be relatively fine, and his chances of having children of his own increase, because you will still be there with him, like the girl in the gif, with a healthy and young body, and without the risks like other person associated with being out so much that can die at any time from any kind of complication..

The claim you presented ties human attraction and survival instincts to an oversimplified view of environmental exposure and physical appearance. While there are elements of truth within the discussion about environmental impacts on health, the reasoning behind why the "monkey brain" would associate environmental damage with reproductive fitness is flawed for several reasons. Let’s address the issues step by step.

---

1. Biological Attraction and Reproductive Fitness​

• Simplification of Attractiveness: The assumption that physical skin health alone determines reproductive suitability is overly simplistic. Human attraction and mate selection are influenced by a wide range of factors, including psychological, social, and biological components—not just visible skin quality.
• Environmental Context: Historical and evolutionary contexts often favored resilience, resourcefulness, or social status over purely physical markers like skin condition. In pre-modern societies, individuals exposed to harsh environments were often perceived as hardworking and capable of survival—qualities that could also indicate fitness as a mate.
• Misinterpretation of Risk: The claim suggests that the brain interprets poor skin health as an indication of shortened lifespan, reducing reproductive potential. However, evolutionary mechanisms often prioritize immediate reproductive opportunities rather than long-term projections. Moreover, visible traits like scars or weathered skin could have been seen as markers of experience or strength in certain contexts.

---

2. Skin Health and Survival Probability​

• Correlation ≠ Causation: While skin damage can be a visible marker of environmental exposure, it does not directly equate to overall health or longevity. For example, a person with tanned or weathered skin from outdoor labor might still be physically robust, with strong immunity and fitness, while someone with pristine skin might have unseen health issues.
• Non-Visible Health Factors: Lifespan and survival involve factors like cardiovascular health, genetic predispositions, access to healthcare, and nutrition—many of which are not discernible from skin appearance alone.

---

3. Oversimplified Evolutionary Psychology​

• Cognitive Biases in Interpretation: The argument implies that the human brain operates in a highly deterministic, "monkey brain" fashion, instantly correlating skin damage with unfitness. In reality, human cognition is nuanced, influenced by cultural, social, and individual preferences. Attraction is not purely evolutionary but also shaped by learned behaviors, societal standards, and emotional connections.
• Contextual Factors: In modern societies, visible signs of sun or wind damage are less associated with "involuntary risk exposure" and more with lifestyle choices, hobbies (e.g., outdoor sports), or occupational roles. This broader context is understood by human cognition, not reduced to primitive "risk calculations."

---

4. Modern Environmental Exposure vs. Evolutionary History​

• Mismatch in Evolutionary Timescales: Evolutionary adaptations occurred over thousands of years when environmental pressures were very different. Modern factors like UV exposure from extended outdoor activities or dust pollution are relatively recent phenomena, and human attraction has not adapted specifically to these.
• Survivability in Modern Contexts: In contemporary settings, the ability to mitigate environmental exposure (e.g., wearing sunscreen, using skincare) is often tied to access to resources. This doesn't necessarily imply evolutionary unfitness but can reflect disparities in socio-economic conditions.

---

5. Debunking the Specific Claim​

• Skin Appearance ≠ Handicap: The argument equates visible skin damage to a physical handicap or "reduced life expectancy." However, skin damage is often cosmetic and does not necessarily signify poor health. Modern medicine and technology (e.g., dermatological treatments) further mitigate the impact of such damage on actual survival or reproductive success.
• The Girl in the GIF: Assuming the girl in the example is perceived as more "fit" because of unblemished skin oversimplifies how attraction works. Her attractiveness could be influenced by unrelated factors like grooming, societal beauty standards, or media conditioning, which are not directly tied to evolutionary survival instincts.

---

6. Human Attraction is Multifaceted​

The focus on environmental damage overlooks the complexity of human attraction:

• Personality Traits: Kindness, intelligence, humor, and emotional stability are highly valued in modern mate selection.
• Social Context: Status, cultural norms, and personal preferences often override purely physical considerations.
• Cultural Variance: Beauty standards vary widely across cultures and time periods. What one society views as attractive may differ dramatically from another.

---

Conclusion​

While environmental exposure can affect physical appearance and health, its direct link to perceived reproductive fitness is tenuous and oversimplified. Human attraction is shaped by a complex interplay of biological, social, and psychological factors, far beyond what the "monkey brain" model suggests. The association of skin health with reduced survivability, as outlined in the claim, lacks sufficient evidence and context, and modern understanding of attraction and health undermines this deterministic view.
