    Not giving a fuck is one way to lower stress. Poorly processed stress is a cause of illness and a lifetime pattern of badly processed stress can cause chronic illnesses. Stress doesn’t have to have bad effects if it’s processed well by the organism.

    There are many different ways to be a bad person, not all of them reduce stress, or improve the ability to process stress, but conceivably some ways could do either or both.

    That’s my hypothesis.
