I miss having MindDetective around more. Also, Google Scholar may be a nerdy know-it-all when it comes to your field, but it's more like a highly inept librarian when it comes to geoscience.
Does human aggression require an outlet?

Umm
You're definitely talking in absolutes here. Also:
"For the person that it happened, it's fact vs opinion"
You're still considering it "FACT". Facts are NOT subjective. If you said it's personal experience vs scientific consensus, then you're not sounding like you believe to be the sole possessor of human knowledge.

That's how it was taken, then I guess I can simply say that the intention was:
Despite studies to the contrary, sometimes they don't apply to everyone and in my experience having an outlet was what my professional recommended based on his extensive studies and experience on the subject. Due to his analysis and suggestions, I found that outlets helped with my aggression issues and are no longer a problem.
Studies are also not 100% concrete as we're finding out many years later after -studies from the 1900s-1950s have been found very faulty.
I would say I walk a fine line between the two personally. I wasn't really versed in the SW Universe, was there ever any kind of really badass Neutral Jedi/Sith guy?
In the EU yeah, sure, lots, Gray jedi. The New Jedi Order Luke creates after is actually sorta kinda that, he tried to move away from the Jedi monk beliefs (no loving, no marrying) cause he believed extremes to be bad. I'm such a nerd.

Well, I always thought that was what the movies were getting at anyway. That neither the Jedi nor the Sith were right. Luke brought balance to the force because he embodied both. There were good things about the Sith, and they weren't inherently "evil", just prone to self-service. I actually really liked that Palpatine (EU notwithstanding) seemed to geniunely care about Anakin, and showed concern when he kneeled over his burned body.
Qui Gon was very much Jedi with a slight rogue streak, I wouldn't go so far as to call him Neutral.
So you're getting calory with us?
Maybe if more of us behaved more like you, we could all become calories!
Man, this pun sounded so much better in my head.
Is your head full of calories, bhamv3 ?
Lessee...
Average brain is about 1350g, so if we dock a bit to account for the milk, your brain has about 1200 calories, or about 1/2 the total daily calorie intake for an average human being, but it comes with the collateral damage of bringing about 100x the recommended daily amount of cholesterol! Man! Looks like eating brains can kill ya even if you don't get kuru!

They're so delicious though. I hate that mad cow/CJD is a thing because I love me some brains. I've had them only once, and they're like bonemarrow, if bonemarrow had the consistency of pudding.
It's not my preferred database but it will do in a pinch. I do like how it will find PDFs out in the ether that my university may not subscribe to otherwise.
I think it would be extremely helpful if Gilgamesh defined what he means by "outlet". If he's talking about venting aggression via expressing himself verbally or creatively over say, beating a pillow, those are two completely different things.
One increases aggression, the other decreases it.

We eat brains down here in tacos and quesadillas all the time, they're called "sesos" and are delicious. Some people even call them sesadillas. Funny mexicans.
I have yet to eat sesos. Seems like a good idea! What else is in them besides brains?
Umm.. salsa and lime? It's literally brains on a tortilla, mostly. And cheese if they're sesadillas.
They sometimes also add them to like a mixture of meat, but then it's not sesos, it's.. well.. stuff with sesos, depending what it is
.
I started thinking about this, too, last night. Maybe his "outlet" is actually behavioral modification techniques to help him manage his anger more productively. They aren't exactly the same thing.
Also, brains are Kerrrr-razy high in cholesterol.
Brains are fish food.
