Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
This is also a Science Fiction story ,What is Science Fiction?
-------------
Science fiction (sometimes shortened o sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. It has been called the "literature of ideas", and often explores the potential consequences of scientific, social, and technological innovations.
Science fiction, whose roots go back to ancient times, is related to fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction, and contains many subgenres. However its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, and scholars.

[@MrGoesBoom]

Wrath is one of those words who's meaning has been watered down over the years. It's not just anger, or even being unreasonably angry....wrath is when you literally see red and will go to any length, do any thing...where only the utter destruction of what got you like this will do. Wrath is utterly all consuming. Anger can be tempered and will fade with time, Wrath keeps going and consumes everything in it's path til it's sated or stopped.

[@rallen7660]

If it's bad enough, the person can suffer dissociation, where their mind splits. Part of it will be totally focused on destroying the target like a machine, even if it kills themselves, and the other is usually their conscious mind trying to regain control and may not even be upset. This condition is what the original "berserkers" were. They weren't merely "angry", like some popular comic book characters. They would be released onto the battlefield to wreak havoc on enemy formations, then the main battle force would sweep through, killing everyone, including any surviving berserkers. How do I know about this? I'm not a psychology student, I'm a veteran.

[@henryrodgers7386]

I've only seen one wrathful person in my life. You'd think it would have been a veteran, but I've found those who have seen combat are usually the calm ones. It was my aunt. A veterinary student with zero fighting experience. She found out her husband was sexually assaulting and beating their adopted daughter. She left her daughter with us, calmly went home, and beat her husband to death with a hammer. Then she shot him three times with a shotgun, to make sure he was dead. She remembers none of this. Total blackout. She came to sitting in her car in the driveway. - That's the closest thing to the ancient records of berserkers I've heard of, outside of combat. The only thing that mattered was "My daughter is in danger", and the only way to ensure it never happened again was to permanently remove the threat from existence. - No offense to R Allen and their experience, but when I someday adopt a child... I hope I love them that much. I would consider myself a failure as a parent if I didn't.

How quickly we take a friendly hand and hold that memory so dear that we would sell our lives for it.

There is no "afterwards" only primal rage and absolute destructiom

[@henkkahenrik4183]

Also i think that the most terrifying part of humanity is that negative emotions are actually the strongest emotions we have, physically speaking, and have the most power over us. Feelings like wrath, anger, grief and sadness cause the strongest physical reactions, sometimes to the point of us feeling physical pain. Human grudge can feel like an all consuming flame that you just can't put out, and even after years, it still sparks deep in ones soul and will flare up again from time to time. Anger can literally blind us and make us move on pure instinct in the heat of the moment. Our sadness can feel like our heart was literally about to stop. Our positive feelings like love, happiness and compassion are strong, but not as strong as our negative emotions, and even the positive emotions can cause stronger negative emotions if something is done to the things that caused the positive emotions. Like there is nothing that causes wrath quite as deep as someone harming a person dear to us, and thanks to compassion, we don't even have to know a person for feeling wrath for something done to a person, especially if that person is a child.

We can teach many things. This is applicable to both stories. For the first let us teach of our pack bonding ability, that which we call friendship, see how we can extend our feelings of family to that not of our bloodline or even species. We can also teach justice, recompense, fury, wrath, hatred. Some of us take lessons of right and wrong from old stories and religion, some of us feel and know right and wrong without them. There are many things we all know, no matter where we come from. How to give up your life for a friend, how to feel the pain of another, how to react to injustice so abhorrent that any who would call themselves civilized would recoil in disgust. We can teach love. We can teach compassion. If that fails then we will teach annihilation, we will teach total war, we will teach wrath.

[@Malroth00Returns]

Well the improvised tool use is probably going to be universal to any species capable of spaceflight and persistance hunting probably won't mean much in a battle betwen technological species. I can see instinctual ballistics being horrifying to any species without it though.

[@Chrisspru]

@@Malroth00Returns the degree of improvisatiin might be different. Persistance hunting is about the stamina and determination of the species. A species that can stay determined for longer and can act without needing much rest is something of note.

Emotions despite getting in the way sometimes are essential, as someone who lacks emotion due to autism I can say that while emotions are often illogical and out right get in our way they keep us in check. Things like empathy and sympathy are the emotions which abolished slavery while sadness and concern lead us to outright ban certain weapons such as plastic mines and nerve gas that were considered to be cruel or inhumane. When handled correctly emotions can be channeled to achieve great things without losing control over ones self, and while I myself may not have emotions for the most part it is for that very reason that this is so obvious to me because life is so very boring without emotions causing me to seek out and understand the emotions of others.

[@nullpoint3346]

I don't think someone that completely lacks all emotions would be able to make that observation, though having less or weaker emotions might. Hi, I have autism too, though I have inversion of your numbness as a mere fraction of the effects...

[@ember3579]

The more negative emotions are probably best compared to a sort of mental immune system. They are what tells us when something is so undeniably, indisputably WRONG that it is worth taking the effort to oppose it if not destroy it outright. Without them, no serious resistance to atrocities is plausible. Granted, if this particular immune system is allowed to slip its leash that can result in yet more atrocities, but nothing in creation is without its risks.

[@XxTaiMTxX]

The trick is to learn the emotions. Just as everyone else does. Empathy must always be taught to people, and children. If it is not taught, we become sociopaths and psychopaths and uncaring towards the species at large. Most emotions outside of the base few are "inherent" to people. We instinctively feel happiness and satisfaction. Anger and sadness. These are things we learn for personal reasons. The things that trigger chemical releases in our brain. What needs to be taught is the linking of these emotions to others. The ability to see the world as someone else does. To feel the way someone else does. That has to be taught. Not many are very good at it, but we are delightfully good at approximating it to a convincing degree. It is impossible to feel the same as someone else. But, it is possible to imagine yourself in that situation and how you would feel about it. So, inevitably, our world is full of useless platitudes. Fake "feel good". Fake "empathy". People who pretend to care for the social value of caring. People who will say something matters yet do nothing to fix the situation. The useless platitudes. The signaling to others that "we care" despite not actually caring. It is why our "emotional reservoirs" run dry. Why we cease to care about issues that persist long enough and yet do not affect us personally. We may care a child was murdered or missing for a while and feel righteous anger toward it... But, given a few months and given we didn't know the child at all, our reservoirs run dry and we cease to care. Fake platitudes. Fake empathy. So, the trick is to learn the emotions. To learn to put yourself in the shoes of others. Because what we would do if placed in those situations becomes our moral ground. But, there's one emotion we all instinctively understand. It is a uniquely PERSONAL emotion. That is, of course, wrath. We can recognize it when we see it others. It triggers every primal urge in our bodies to run when we see it. Better to die tired than to experience wrath in its full fury from an attacker. We know it instinctively when we see it, because we know what it will mean if we undergo it. Sanity leaves and is replaced with only the will to destroy. A will that transcends any emotion or even physical state. Preservation of self goes out the window alongside reason. No matter how inept at emotions any person is... we all know and we all possess wrath. Every other emotion needs to be taught and needs to be linked to others. We need to be taught empathy. We need to be taught more complex emotions like "love" and "bonding". We don't possess them inherently. Inevitably, it is those that realize they don't have these emotions and work on studying them, that end up actually feeling them. Feeling them far more strongly than everyone else, in fact.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

Something I've realised as a person with high functioning autism is that I actually do have extremely strong emotions, but I keep them buried deeply because in the past, emotions have only led to pain. There's a reason why the old Sci-Fi fantasy show Star Trek had the supposedly emotionless "Vulcans" and a reason why later on that was changed to Vulcans being trained to control their emotions. It's because Vulcans are a sci-fi representation of the autistic people in Human society.

About Captain Kirk... he *VERY* rarely actually slept with the alien chicks. He'd notice they found him interesting so he'd use seduction to manipulate them into going along with his objectives but his first and only love was the Enterprise. And despite being considered a "cowboy" type due to his tendency to bend the rules or outright defy orders if necessary, he was mostly "by the book" for most of his career. He just happened to be Captain in an era where he had broad discretion on how he interpreted regulations; much like how old-school Age of Sail ship's captains acted. When TNG came to be, Picard was more of the micromanaged diplomat who could kick ass when necessary and had far less slack in his rope to play with.

Wrath, a state of mind that shunts unnecessary mental processes to complete a task, usually violence. Often confused with rage, which is a state if mind that focuses everything down to a single point, also known as "seeing red". An example would be the sacrifice of speech, physical and mental sensation, taste and/or smell, to amplify vision, hearing, and physical acuity. To give further example of the amplification: vision, which normally has a small focal point and the rest peripheral vision, will have the focal point expanded to half of ones vision and their peripheral vision to be able to identify simple objects rather than just movement

[@RaderizDorret]

Yup. Rage is the hot-blooded berserk frenzy to kill everything near you. Wrath is the cold, laser-focused decision that you will dedicate your entire being to utterly *ENDING* that which has invoked it. Those gripped by Wrath rarely raise their voices and will otherwise appear utterly calm, almost tranquil save for the fury seen in their eyes and perhaps minor alterations in vocal inflections. Or, to put it another way: rage is like the Reavers in Firefly, wrath is The Terminator.

I read a story, a person recounting when it was in high school, of a school bully, its toadys, and its target. Months of torment, the target first crying, weeping, then stopping. Just standing there, taking in all the insults, the hits, the constant torment. That ended one day in the school's weight room. The target took up a weight in each hand--and pounded the head bully's face. Over and over until others pulled him away, some getting their own jaws broken in the process. Finally, the weight of their bodies pulled and kept him down. The bully used to be handsome. Afterwards, it took years of facial reconstruction to get it to the point it could again chew and swallow food.

But it’s normal.” Human “I see…have a seat. *We have plenty to talk about.* “

There may actually be some truth to the idea that Earth's Gravity is within the upper limits of achievable chemical rocket space flight. This fact alone could make humans be one of the strongest and most endurable intelligent races in the Universe. Our cultural tendency toward team work, strategy, and combat could at least in theory be our greatest strength amongst the stars. Earth could be seen as a death world, with gravity levels far to high for other sapient species to even move on. I absolutely love these stories.

[@abrr2000]

@@loganshaw4527 Your confusing danger in extremis, with being a death world. A death world outside of internet stories, is one that wants to kill you ALL THE TIME. The planet from Lightyear is a low level death world. You CANNOT go outside without specialist protective equiptment, like a lazer sword, guns and full body armour. On a death world, keeping the danger at bay is a job so important, that if it's not done, people WILL die. And compated to the death worlds from 40K, the world from Lightyear is weak sauce. Meanwhile on earth the most dangerous thing I'm likely to face my entire life is other humans. Sure, Eath being a death world from an alien perspective is an interesting idea. But to humans, Earth is the cradle of humanity. The most dangerous things we face are desease and humans. (and not in that order)

[@loganshaw4527]

@@abrr2000 but that is the thing it is not 100 percent safe every where either, by where you are at in longitude and latitude. if there is something dangerous nearby like a animal that can and will kill you, being up north in winter and outside, being trapped out side of your home. In a unknown area like the mid of nowhere. You would not want to be anywhere near a volcano or on thin ice or in fast moving water or lost at sea, outside during a lightning storm near a tree in high wind even crossing a busy road without looking be in a desert, lost in the mountains, be anywhere near a Dimond back snake, near a mountain lion. I have experience most of where I said earlier expect the snakes and the fire tornado and the biggest tornado but only had to deal with 4 foot of snow. There are things on earth that can and will kill you if unlucky.

[@merlinathrawes746]

I can understand the opinion of the first story. There's even some justification for it. But it totally ignores our efforts to better ourselves. Unfortunately, we have a long ways to go. A slave revolt rarely ends well for the masters in the long run.

[@theeddorian]

One of the fundamental errors made when discussing human evolution is focusing on "intelligence." The fact is, there are numerous intelligent species on earth. What sets humans apart is that as a species, starting around 2 million years ago, we started relying on tradition, learning, imagination, communication and creativity to survive. These are all sharper tools when directed by intelligence, but intelligence without them is merely smart. We lacked physiological adaptations to survive easily as a scavenger of kills, so we adapted tools even chimps use to accomplishing things like marrow extraction. The foods available to our savanna-dwelling ancestors were difficult to digest. Fire and fermentation made them easier. By the time we were mostly finished becoming human, the species had walked, and possibly paddled, from the Cape of Good Hope to Cape Horn.

I mean, if you log onto the internet unprepared you get what you deserve. It’s why I don’t understand the code start political need to try and sanitise an entire ecosystem. Create moderated spaces and let the animals deal with themselves (beyond basic legal consequences for actionable behaviour) As to the second story. Less a teaching, more the removal of a limited perspective, fanned hard to get though but after one it gets a lot easier. Soon after you have a very dangerous and very motivated set of skilled individuals walking around the infrastructure that binds them.
