I don't think that's necessarily true. The idea that there's a right way to be and a wrong way is fine when you're sipping coffee in Starbucks. However, when you're stuck in some new land with nothing to aid you but the hairs sticking up on the back of your neck, instinct (even the instinct for superstitious thought) turns out to be very useful.
That's something we tend to forget. "Evolved" doesn't mean we are civilized or spiritually superior. It means we are adapted to the environmental pressures around us. Last time I checked, dumbass X-tians didn't have trouble reproducing or raising offspring to reproductive age. Ergo-- fuuuuuuucking Republicans are a thing.
Quote: I honestly don't think we're going to be around long enough to turn into something else, let alone something capable of rising above that limitation en mass.Yeah, that's our big test, and it seems to be coming up on us now. Will we allow our instincts to sink us?
