  • There are a lot of things that we as an animal like or don’t like due to evolutionary benefits.

    For example we don’t like the smell of excrement because those that didn’t, stayed further away from it and caught less diseases.
    Another good example is snake and spider phobias, those innately scared of venomous creatures survived more often than those that enjoyed their company.

    I’m 100% that roaches (and relatives) fall into this category as well. We find them slightly disgusting because those that did, killed them and lived with less diseases than those that thought that they were cute.

    Butterflies on the other hand posed no threat to us and remind us of flowers that were evolutionarily important to us (interest in agriculture).

    Killing cockroaches is self defence. Killing butterflies is murder.

    If you can’t align your trains and subways with your agreed upon time, you still need to take the earlier train and be there 30 minutes earlier. That’s just how it works. You take the transport that gets you there before the time, not what gets you there closer to but after the time.
