Combining our intellect with the resources available to us, we construct impressive devices and equipment to further boost our societies.
I hate when people say this. We are smart relatively to everything else on this planet, but we are still a dumb species. What's the name of that important invention that some guy invented a long time ago? Oh yeah....the wheel. Invented thousands of years ago and it's still the most prevalent invention in our history. If the ridge headed neanderthal that invented the wheel was still alive today, he'd be the richest motherfucker on the planet, and he'd also still be trying to fuck rocks.
We chose shoelaces over velcro. Because I was so tired of tripping on my untied velcro, or having to take the time to tie my velcro. All because "velcro looks weird dude."
Seriously, 200 years ago people were throwing shit from buckets out house windows, intelligent society doesn't come a couple hundred years after that.
