Alcohol would be a good example too.
I'll bet we're still hairless apes 1,000 years from now, as we were 1k yr ago. Than, as now, we'll be just as silly and waste about as much of our time on stupid shit.
"we need to change for the modern world" is just one of the silly things we waste our time on. We ain't gonna change, perhaps we should build our world and calibrate our expectations in light of that?
- mkaic 5y agoAgreed! Though there are also times when our hairless-ape-ness can be a good thing -- for example, sometimes good things come from our irrational tendency to obsess over singular pursuits. Think about all the companies that make great products that would never have made it big if the founder hadn't been completely delusional!
