Our Simple Chimp-ness

Friday morning... I surf the news, check out the doings of the world... I conclude we are just a crazy species, and there are now so many of us, we are making each other crazier and crazier. Something about close quarters and our monkey heritage, and all of our advanced and engaging but pretty much useless toys with which we amuse ourselves. We are just simple chimps at heart with these big brains, and we think the bigness of our brains is an advantage, but it's actually like a double-edged sword - it's both an advantage and a disadvantage...
