there are a lot of lessons to be learned in 13 reasons why season two so in this
review and reaction
we're going to talk about Tyler as well as the evolutionary psychology
about revenge because understanding how the brain actually works might actually
prevent future tragedies from happening
what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and thank you so much again for all the new
subscribers and stuff like that I'm really glad that I'm able to take
something out of pop culture and maybe inform some people and teach some people
how to actually improve their mental health alright so I'm sorry that I've
been doing a bunch of videos on thirteen reasons why but there's a lot of lessons
that we can learn from it so I'm gonna break down some
evolutionary psychology and explain how the human mind actually works so let's
take Tyler for example and looking at what happened in season one okay this
kid he's a loader he's a loser he's getting picked on beat up and all sorts
of stuff it carries on into season two then we see him make these attempts
towards revenge okay so before I jump into what we all know
happens like revenge is something that is wired into our DNA okay evolutionary
psychology is a fascinating psychology because it explains how our brains work
based on evolution alright so let's take a trip back in time real quick alright
so back in the hunter-gatherer days where you have my tribes you know all
over the place well we needed we needed this sense of
revenge that's why sometimes anger feels so good that's sometimes why revenge
seems even better because if you think back back in the day say some dude from
another tribe he comes over and he steals your food or he steals some stuff
right from your house or he steals your mate if you didn't do
anything there's two things that can happen okay either this dude comes back
from the other tribe to take more stuff of yours or the people in your own tribe
they start taking stuff from you right so this is why
the brain is designed to get angry and want revenge it's something that we long
for that we yearn for because if you go up and you square up with this do to say
what what's up and even if you go to blows even if you lose it's sending a
message to both tribes that you're somebody not to be messed with right so
that's why we we get excited when we get angry sometimes even though it might not
feel like it it is this kind of passionate thing you know what I mean in
today's world there's so many things that our brains are wired to do like for
example anxiety which don't really pay off for 2008-10 so when we look at Tyler
situation and getting bullied and making attempts at revenge but failing this is
what led him to his breaking point on top of what happened in the bathroom
saying we all know about that we're talking about specifically but what
leads a guy to making the decision that Tyler was about to do at the end of
season two right it's because there's something inside of him that is telling
him you have to show these people what's what's up you got to show people that
you are not to be messed with the problem is is that this is an
illusion of a victory so there's so many times when we think we're victorious by
getting revenge but let's think about how that would have played out I've
claimed I intervened Tyler would have you know gone crazy in the school he
would have either died or he would have gone to jail for the rest of his life
purely based on this instinct to show people that he's not somebody to be
messed with all right and this is one of the biggest reasons why it's important
to learn different ways to manage anger and calm down and take a step back like
I'm sure all of you can leave comments down below and let me know what you
think better alternatives for Tyler would have been like I don't know
talking to an adult like when his parents came in and he didn't say
anything going to the police transferring schools but like I know a
lot of you out there empathize with Tyler and here's the lesson to be
learned okay so many of you watching this so many of you watching this right
now you've bullied you've been the bully I know I've been back in high school I
was kind of a jerk and a lot of it was because I had my own stuff going on
right but when we understand how the brain works maybe we back up off people
just a little bit because what happens is we push them to a point where their
natural survival instinct is to lash out and get revenge okay so I hope this kind
of explains why this happens I won't get into details of all the tragedies that
happen all over our country on a regular basis but when you look at these people
most of the time something was happening is it an excuse absolutely not this is
the worst thing that anybody can do but the next time that you're out school or
you're at work and you're thinking about publicly humiliating or shaming somebody
just think about how their brain works and how they're actually wired for
revenge - alright so anyways I hope this explained a little bit about the
psychology of what's going on with Tyler and please share this video if you and
