Our brains, like the rest of our animalia familia, are wired for survival. And like a 19th Century child’s fixation of sugar-plums on Christmas Eve, visions of food and sex constanly dance through our head. We eat to gain the needed energy to survive and we reproduce to keep the numbers of our species strong. So the next time you down your 4th donut while scrolling through Tinder at 3:00 am, remember you’re doing it for the good of humanity. But before our life of luxuries made it seamless for food and fun to come straight to the door, we had to work hard to achieve our survival needs. This isn’t some rant your grandfather tells you about how much harder things were when he was your age when he worked on a farm or whatever things adolescent grandpas do. Because his paleolithic predecessor could give him the same lecture. “Oh you had to wake up at 5:00 am to water the crops and steal a chicken’s baby. Well yesterday I woke up to a leopard in my cave, gnawing on my two year old and had to fight a Giant Kangaroo over a handful of seeds.”
Now it’s easy to be human. All you truly need is a warm room with the ocussional slop bucket left outside the door. You can leave the reproduction part to your cooler cousin who hit puberty before you. Instead, in today’s world it is harder to be an individual. With an endless supply of entertainment and opportunities to keep you occupied, there’s a social pressure to stand out as an individual who broadcasts every aspect of their life.
