Hive account@analogmunky I would have to agree with that in the sense that, yes, we are programmed via the long long timeline of evolution to be fearful of those creatures, amongst many many other things... I think the challenge is in recognizing our own ability to recognize, analyze and bypass those fears compared to the scope of rapid advancement, far surpassing any "normal" long-term scope of evolution.. Technology has and is and will leave the majority of evolutionary comparison arguments completely mute. If you know that it's genetic as the result of evolution, then why do you choose to still be, or sympathize with anyone still playing victim to those fears. Perhaps our roll in the next step of evolution is to recognize, take responsibility for, and abolish the fears that uneducated survival have engraved in us . Education, at this point in our history, far surpasses engraved genetic predispositions, especially the petty small ones like fear. it's ALL A MATTER OF RESPONSIBILITY AND RECOGNITION. We're not victims of anything. Especially our own predisposed, genetically engrained fears. Calling anyone a pussy for anything is silly.. The comparison just doesn't fit much at all. Calling someone a pussy, in the scope of evolution should in fact be a compliment. But who am I to say, I'm scared of failure.. And yes... Still be careful around snakes. Use your head.. Watch some Steve Erwin, he's still livin strong handlin all kinds of... Oh wait, shit, no, sorry.
