Having escaped the necessity of living in certain ways, we find outselves voluntarily adopting older forms of human behavior.
That's what exercising is. It's what gardening is. It's what having pets is. These are behaviors that mimic the surface characteristics of old ways of life (hunting, farming, animal husbandry).
- desertraven 5y agoInteresting. Are such behaviours necessary to feel content as a human?
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoSince farming and animal husbandry are only about 10000 years old, I’d say probably not. Being out in nature, possibly. It certainly feels good for a lot of people.
