The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

    Wow, good argument. But did you really overcome the instinctual fear for snakes, or do you winch first, before rational takes over to tell you to move the snake to a safer place?

      If wincing is all that happens before treating others with respect and rationality, then I’d call that a success.

      When I see a snake my first instinct is to try to touch it. We don’t have them in my country, so it feels like meeting a magical creature.
