Yes. But when you balance it against appropriate destructive impulses, it gets very confusing. For example, extending it to tribalism, and group violence, I cannot surmount. It ends up appearing that all group violence is born from rational thought. Mass hysteria? Violence of the mob? What in blazes is that??? An evolutionary remnant?
