@hjalm Yep, this is exactly why Darwin was so staggeringly, horrifyingly offensive to his contemporaries. Our belief systems don’t need to be accurate, they just need to be comforting and internally consistent in a manner we can justify to ourselves. The average homo sapiens has barely begun to grasp the full implications of natural and sexual selection on human culture.
@rnv You said a lot there! I think "comforting and internally consistent" explains so much about culture and how we are where we are. And the intersection of selection and the impact thereof is another fascination.
@alongtheray You’re welcome! And I just hopped over to your website — are you still in your Scamp? My parents and I camped all over the American West in a 13´ Scamp when I was a kid. Great little campers.
@rnv Yes, I am. It's my baby, my mobile cabin nicknamed Scooter (which is my real world nickname too lol). Glad you got to experience camping and a Scamp. It's a one of a kind experience.
