NFTU 2nd Reaction

            In the second part of the Notes from the Underground, I felt contains the majority of his arguments against the ability to rationally explain human behavior.  The narrator argues against the audience who believes that science will eventually explain all of the behaviors that humans have because humans always act in order to gain some sort of positive advantage.  The narrator explains that this is impossible because not everyone acts in order to gain something positive.  He says humans have some sort of love for destruction and chaos.  I think the narrators beliefs are negatively skewed from something that occurred in his past.  I do not believe humans are born with the hate to love to destroy things that are good.  I think when people lose hope they lose their willingness to care for others.  This is what causes destruction and chaos.  His main focus on the inability of science to explain everything interested me because I think this is still very applicable to behavior in today’s society.
