Great article! Really enjoying the White Pill series. Mark to what extent do you feel that our pursuit of an illusion of safety has brought us away from how our ancestors managed to survive? As you stated, we are well positioned to meet the challenges but very few (I exclude you as sharing your POV is a risk, so thank you!) are willing to take the risk. Furthermore, the comfort of today's advancements have essentially robed many of us of the efficacy that people in the past had to have in order to live. Personally I think it's a fundamental problem to all life, that all living things prefer the "easy" rather than "difficult". Understand I've really simplified it but it hard to deny that many rather go with the flow rather than stand up. We fear death so much but how many of us are actually living to live rather than living to not die?
Thank you kindly for your eloquent and articulate writing style!
