Apartment is no good for a cat but suddenly fine for you? It isn’t like it is in human nature to live in a shoebox either. Human nature is to live in the sahel, sleep under the stars, forage, and track game. The office and the apartment is genuinely a prison for the human in their evolved element.
- justonceokay 7mo agoYes but I can leave whenever I want.
- kjkjadksj 7mo agoCan you? Leave in the middle of every work meeting next month and see what happens.
- justonceokay 7mo agoYou are not arguing in good faith. A work meeting is a commitment I made of my own volition and is only possible because I /can/ leave my apartment. I’ll throw it back at you, maybe if you left that meeting you would find that it had less consequences than you are imagining.
- kjkjadksj 7mo agoThe only one who is arguing in bad faith are the ones equating a cat chilling in an apartment to some form of slavery.
- nandomrumber 7mo agoHow do you go sleeping under the stars when it’s below zero, blowing its guts out, and snowing.
- kjkjadksj 7mo agoLook at how much hair is on your skin, you aren’t meant for that. You are meant to persistent hunt game and forage in fairer weather. You are optimized for that. Everything else is compromised, swimming uphill only bailed out by happenstance technological affordance.
- nandomrumber 7mo agoWhat, so ants, bees, wasps… they’re allowed to built shelter from the elements. But when humans do it’s unnatural? And besides, if you saw how hairy I am you’d probably reconsidered your opinion.
