Looking at the world from within our culture, we can not see what
is universally natural, and what is just within our culture.
I doubt number 6 for h/g people, as I think is connected to the fact
that in modern cultures we are living in a kind of capitulated state.
To psychologically survive this we, among other weird things, try to
find some kind of meaning (f ex with life).
For a better description of what I mean with "capitulated state" see:
