@[url=https://freeatlantis.com/users/DrFell]DrFell (Disgruntled Citizen)[/url] @[url=https://noauthority.social/users/magicalthinking]🌈Magical Thinking[/url] Our recent evolution involved a long period of scarcity and small clans and we adapted to that in ways that may have been appropriate in fact meant our survival in that era.

Now we live in an era were global travel is trivial, where we've developed modern technologies that require resourced around the world, and we are in danger of running out of some of those resources if we don't create a circular economy and re-use them efficiently.

Our level of interdependence today is not compatible with our antique genetics and we can't evolve our genetics fast enough to adapt and avoid self destruction.

But we've got a secret weapon, our cerebellum, this part of our brain which permits higher reasoning allows near term changes in our behavior if we choose to invoke it.

But genetics is automatic, the constructive uses of the areas of higher intelligence we are endowed with are manual, using them requires the invocation of agency. With that comes freedom but also responsibility.

I want that, and so choose to do so.. Do you?,
