    Well of course its arbitrary. I just picked it because it was used in the meme that we are talking about. I could’ve also used physical pain or sexual desire or hunger. It just has to be something that people have experiential experience with. Sight possibly could’ve worked, but I don’t think so. Maybe for you?

    Also, I’m not sure there actually are different kinds of adrenaline rushes. Regarding my explanation, I was asked, so I provided it. Just because you do not like it does not make it bad. My point stands. People “get” fear pretty easily, if they want. People cannot “get” sight, without the aid of science training. It’s a key difference between the two, which makes picking one over the other pretty easy.

      I didn’t say that I don’t like it or that it’s bad, just that it’s not better or worse, or makes objectively more sense, than anything else.

        No, it definitely does not make objectively more sense, that is 100% true. Subjectively, and maybe, only. Subjectively is what’s important though. Only a fairly smallish percentage of humans care about trying to be objective most of the time. Most just don’t bother. So unless you are a student (where we have to keep your options open) or adult working in some sort of technical field, you can actually dispense with it.

        This is one of the big reasons why our world is so fucked up, as a side note.
