Whenever you ask this type of question recognize that you will basically only get the perspective of cognitavists/neuroscience positivists and shit like evolutionary psychology. These are but one perspective among many, and many disagree with these. How humans function is a very controversial topic, but reddit is almost entirely composed of those two views.
