    i was just thinking. what if we were all programmed by some higher being or whatever you want to call it to control our thoughts and feelings and stuff. Like think about it, why do we feel the need to succeed, why do we feel the need to have sex, why is it that we want to raise families. why do we eat food, go to the bathroom, want shelter. its almost like were a coded program to do what our creator wants us to do, for our benifet or not.

    Yes our brains are programmed like this. Its instinct. we basically are a coded program. Just sometimes we have defects. I love your avatar.

    If you put your shit away in a discrete spot, you prevent shit from being all around you

    Even a dog knows that it doesn't want to live in shit and will put it somewhere out of the way

    You kind of answered your own question there.
    It's not that our DNA is "programmed". It's just natural for any living creature to empty their wastes.

    We all have the same reptilian brains that, reptiles do.

    Basic fight flight hunger sex. We have massive memory cortex though.

    It's there because THAT brain had millions if not billions of years to survive on those, our limbs basically ensure it.

    So if anything, our environment programmed our brains in the course of a long time.
