“We are obliged to put an emotional distance between us and them” or Tribalism in Sports (in honor of the Giants)
So contemplate this: For millions of years, our male ancestors are scampering about, throwing rocks at pigeons, running after baby antelopes and wrestling them to the ground, forming a single line of shouting, running hunters and trying to terrify a herd of startled warthogs upwind. Imagine that their lives depend on hunting skills and teamwork. Much of their culture is woven on the loom of the hunt. Good hunters are also good warriors. Then, after a long while—a few thousand centuries, say—a natural predisposition for both hunting and teamwork will inhabit many newborn boys. Why? Because incompetent or unenthusiastic hunters leave fewer offspring. I don’t think how to chip a spearpoint out of stone or how to feather an arrow is in our genes. That’s taught or figured out. But a zest for the chase—I bet that is hardwired. Natural selection helped mold our ancestors into superb hunters.

Going on Record – Chuck Bukowski
The “burning in water, drowning in flame” thing is a Charles Chinowski Book. Â Or is it Charlie Bukowski? Â Or is it just Chuck? Â Chuck is not Mickey Rourke. Remember that.
Atheists, Agnostics know more about religion than the religious
But it’s also a lack of belief, in this case. It’s impossible to explain, which is why I default to humanism when talking about this, because it’s so much nicer to explain that with a hug.
