It’s like some people completely ignore the fact that a civilization cannot survive without people giving a shit about other people who aren’t related to them. The higher the proportion of stupid, selfish assholes there are in your civilization, the faster it will collapse. Cooperation with non-relatives is the only reason why we managed to evolve from the savanna and not get completely wiped out by other animals who are bigger and stronger than us. Behavioralists have classically called it altruism but, in reality, it’s enlightened self-interest.
For some reason, I started looking back at my blog posts from exactly 3 years ago and I just realized that somehow, despite working 80 hours weeks which included 30-hour calls every four days and some rather intensely harrowing experiences, I somehow managed to write a lot. I honestly don’t know how I did it. Now that I have more free time, I can’t seem to put two words together into a coherent thought.
