Millions of years of evolution - for what? We have clawed our way to dominate this planet using nothing but two crooked digits and a swollen frontal lobe. How far have we come? For all that struggle, we remain monkeys. Monkeys in neck ties and khakis staring at a glowing piece of glass for 8 hours a day. What's the difference between monkeys flailing a branch and playing golf? One of the branches costs $300 and is made of spun graphite. Just look at it this way:
- Software engineers = monkeys with good grammar
- Politicians = monkeys flinging poo
- News reporters = monkeys at desks (sans pants)
- War = monkeys with machine guns
- Bloggers = monkeys on soap boxes
- Fighter jets = flying monkeys
It's not easy to face - but it's true. Next time you are stuck in a traffic jam, or trapped in a meeting that has no purpose, or permanently losing the higher frequencies of your hearing at a bar - picture the people around you as they really are - little monkeys who assume they have changed in the past millennia (unless we are talking about those drunk frat boys - they don't bother putting up a front).
