Institute for Justice Economic liberty litigation trolling his violent impulses would have done him no harm, and would have saved his friend a trip to the emergency room.

From an evolutionary point of view the big question is: Why didn’t natural selection weed out depressive genes? De- pressives have low reproduction rates (depression destroys libido) and high mortality. Logically they should have gone the way of the dodo. Solomon’s best guess is that we need psychic pain sensors, just as we do physical ones. Depression is like nausea: When you involuntarily “get sick,” it serves a protective function. Something in your psychic life is rancid, and you must expel it or withdraw from it.
