MODERATORS
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
Inventing farming was definitely a mistake. But so was leaving the ocean.
James C Scott’s Against the Grain is an excellent academic read on this if anyone is curious.
As a sidenote! Loving Mesopotamia Monday!
If you're looking for the point when the wrongness began, look no further than baryon asymmetry. Every known model of physics fails to explain why matter and antimatter were created in unequal proportions, and that's why we're in this mess.
Sheesh. An arbitrarily infinite multiverse and I end up stuck in the one where stuff exists.
We never should have left the trees.
Damn, gotta say it looks pretty great, though.
Central nervous systems were a mistake.
