Why is it that humans perceive us reptilians as being evil?


Us? Who's us? Your a reptilian? As republican said, evidence, evidence, evidence! And I don't want you wearing that lizard mask from walmart my niece wore on Halloween.

All humans have a reptillian brain so in that sense there is a bit of reptile in all of us...after all, mamals did evolve from reptiles you know.

That said, the human seems to have evolved a harwired fear of the reptillian, and specifically the serpentine. For example, the human brain is hardwired at birth to recognize a very few patterns. One is the human face. Show an image of a smiley face to an infant amidst a series of images made up of random dots, curves, lines, etc. -- the child's eyes will hone in instintively on the "human looking" image. You can even see neural circuits light up with a PET scan-type imager, etc.

Another harwired human instinct is to involuntary flinch away from objects that move in a certain way. One such way is the typical "slithering" movement of snakes. Other mamals are also harwired to move in certain ways against such instinctive and potentially deadly predators. So the "fear of the serpent" is a very ancient and indeed pre- or proto-human instinct.

Thank you for taking the time to answer that, much appreciated. I have a new way of looking at it now.

So you're basically covered in a hologram...a hologram so sophisticated that even cameras can't take a picture of your face...
Or you could be wearing human skin.

I'm not trying to bash on you, but we've seen lots of threads with people claiming that they are reptilians, and gone the same road as you. Chances are, they were "scalies" in the furry community, watched too much dragon tales, or they were actually reptilian, which...is pretty much rare entirely. (Not trying to belittle anyone here~ Just posting actual causes that affect these people coming out like this.) Unlike most of the other posters here, I'm not going to ask for proof over the internet. I'm better off doing my own research. (Get off your butts people. :p You're not going to find the truth just by requesting proof from other users all day if they claim something.)

I'd say that threads like these are one of the reasons why I don't post here a lot like I used to back in 2005. Boy, I miss being 14 years old.

Edit

Also, I've read a lot of reptilian info, and most of them focus on reptilians being evil, which a few TV shows and movies follow. Sorta funny, eh? I doubt that they are all evil, or the majority of them being evil. I just think that people are being misguided, or mislead by others to think that reptilians are the bad guys. Another way to put it is that people had bad experience coping with guys with scales and slits on their eyes that they assume that they are looking at a demon.


I'm interested in hearing your experience though, if there's more to it than what you bought into the table. Feel free to U2U me if you don't feel like posting out in the public.
