A baby born today is perfectly suited to be a hunter-gatherer in Ethiopia 10,000 years ago.
If the history of man were a 700-page book, and one page represented 200 years, for 696 pages we were hunter-gatherers, where nothing really changed from generation to generation. That’s what we are made for. Now we have modern life – internet, phones, communications and vehicles, etc. etc. – it’s nuts!
We need to be aware of what our instincts were created for, and how it’s different now. Many of those instincts are unnecessary now. However, we also need to be aware of how all this new technology is affecting us when we are not quite made for the new world we have created.
The pace of change has increased exponentially, but our humanity can’t change that fast.
Good morning sir!
