This reads like Mister Spock's review of a punk rock concert.
"I don't understand why the audience was asked if it was 'ready to rock', as they clearly did not have instruments. Also, it was illogical to ask them to 'fight the power', since power is an abstract physical quantity that cannot meaningfully be 'fought'."
And did PG's monumental catalogue of rhetorical errors mention the rule about "not arguing with straw men"? Because I don't think the real PG actually believes that literally everyone "wasn't meant to have a boss", nor would the real PG ever endorse the concept that "you weren't meant to have a chair, because our ancestors didn't evolve to sit in chairs."
- derefr 19y agoA tangent, however inappropriate: You weren't meant to have a bed. The better a bed "feels" to most people, the worse it is for the health of your back, and vice versa. Most non-serious back pain can be corrected by sleeping on a dirt floor, or a hay bale. You also weren't meant to have shoes. Orthopedics today are mostly needed because of the shoes we wear when we're young; your feet are meant to rest flat against the ground, to be able to curve around things like rocks and tree branches, and to mush up into wet dirt or sand. I personally get back-aches whenever I wear anything other than flat-soled ("skate") shoes, approximating the natural terrain below them. From these two things, I can guess that chairs really aren't a good idea either, but I've never looked into them specifically.
