That's not particularly interesting, that's how evolution works.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoPresumably we evolved brains with the capacity for long term planning because it was an aid to our survival. What's interesting is that we don't use it in this case.
- smabie 6y agoWe certainly didn't evolve brains for long term planning. We evolved brains for short term planning and it works pretty well for that
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoThat's a dubious statement considering that human beings engage in long term planning all the time. Indeed, it is doubtful civilization would exist if we couldn't.
- tolbish 6y agoOur species also prospered from long-term planning and sacrifice.
