Tool Vicarious- Why are Humans so violent?

Do Humans love violence or is it just our nature?

This short movie is a collage of various film clips and photos, asking the question: "Do Humans love violence or is it just our nature?"

TOOL - Vicarious 10000 Days (album)

Lyrics- Tool - Vicarious
Eye on the the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be, like...
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison
in his tea...kissed him goodbye"
It's my kind of story
It's no fun until someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie

While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die... from a distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all need it to don't lie...

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Are right as the story's told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die... from a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so...

Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain falling down
Drawn by the brave and proud

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and warrior
Still have the transmitter
Sink to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out
Your head, please, and give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

Great job on the vid really makes you use a larger percentage of your brain while watching it. Seriously i think its brilliant. your mind wonders in so many directions the song and clips make a very powerful message that is yet to be deciphered.

@67DieHardPatriot454 thanks a lot

[mooseasaurusrex]

Still watching it. If the owner/ author doesn't mind me asking; is that a lion and tiger going at it at 1:01? ***in the wild those two animals have never met as they are on different continents. :/

[urtalking2me]

WOW what more can I say...great stuff. Loved the nuke and mushrooms part and the Hannibal Lecter "We all feed on..." part. Cant wait till your next one.

Humans are inately violent. No denial there. You can preach bullshit that we dont need war or any sort of violence. Thats utter crap. We enjoy fighting so much we invented war. We invented new tools to kill EACHOTHER with! Infact I can guaruntee, that when we finally meet an alien race; we are gonna scare the living shit out of them!

[suaderoo]

good job, human is inteligent , masses dont

[gizmofly870]

Humans have a biological need for violence,it was inprinted in our brains the day man A found out that killing man B would give him something of profit.Now if you look at hockey fights that is pure human nature at work,getting caught up in the moment,putting thought an rationality aside and just doing what your instincts are telling you to do.

[guilemaster147]

Violence comes naturally to humans. It's why the Colosseum in Rome even exists. On a very deep level, no matter how hard someone may deny it, people like violence.

@urtalking2me Thanks.

And surprised at 35 minute response time? Relax. I'm not a stalker I'm in a wheelchair and have a lot of free time.

Frankly people are full of shit. They don't want to look at real scenes of violence from war or the places their "food" comes from, yet you all revel in news headlines and violent movies, tv shows and violent video games, then claim it's having no effect on you. Wake Up Jackasses!!!

[101101101777]

@kor513 People are judged by their actions and relativism aside it is quite easy to tell when our actions are causing suffering. No we do not need meat and yes it is quite likely everyone could be non-meat eating with the proper growing systems set in place which we could have already but your gov isn't interested in local food growing for the people, just in subsidies for livestock feed.
