Why We Are Obsessed With True Crime
It’s no secret that humans have an obsession with true crime. We can’t seem to get enough of the unsavoury details of the world’s most notorious criminals and their victims. But why are we so drawn to these stories?
The answer may lie in our evolutionary history. We are hardwired to be drawn to stories of danger and violence, as these were essential for our survival in the past. We are also drawn to stories of justice and retribution, which is why we are so fascinated by true crime stories.
But there is another, darker side to our obsession with true crime. We are also drawn to stories of power and control, which can be seen in our fascination with Santa Claus. We have painted Santa Claus as a dark, malevolent figure, one who rewards good behaviour and punishes bad behaviour. This fascination with power and control can be seen in our obsession with true crime.
Ultimately, our obsession with true crime is a reflection of our own fears and anxieties. We are drawn to stories of danger and violence, justice and retribution, and power and control. We are also drawn to stories of the unsavoury, which can help us make sense of the world around us.
I think this article is spot on. It’s interesting to think about why we are so fascinated by true crime – it’s not just a morbid curiosity, but something more deep-seated in our evolutionary history. It’s a great insight into the darker side of human nature.
I agree wit the article. I think it’s very intresting how true crime stories are rooted in our evolutionary history and reflect our own fears and anxieties. Does the author have any thoughts on how this obsession with true crime affects our society?
Interesting article. I never thought of true crime as a reflection of our own fears and anxieties. It makes perfect sense when you think about it that way.
This is an excellent article! It’s so true that our fascination with true crime stories has a lot to do with our evolutionary history. We’re drawn to stories of justice and retribution, and this is why we’re so compelled by these stories.
