It has finally occurred to me what is actually wrong with The Human Animal. We are all stricken with a virus that we picked up many thousands of years ago. It's an insidious, indestructible virus, and its effects are long-term and profound. This virus doesn't make us feel sick per se, but it makes us behave in a way that is so contrary to Nature, our most vital life-force, that over many centuries it has been slowly making us extinct anyway. The interesting thing is that we are blissfully unaware that it is even a virus. We call it..... INTELLIGENCE.
