I think a lot of nerd problems are caused by us trying to use our 100,000 year old human symbolic reasoning brain to do tasks that are better suited to our 220,000,000 year old mammal intuitive vibing brain

holy shit if The Fall in Genesis is about the evolution of symbolic reasoning, ie the fall from instinct to reason, then all the Axial Age religions are about finding salvation by returning to instinct eg Christians told to trust God like the birds do https://t.co/PTsgr45i76

important to understand that animal instinct is not a solitary game, I'm not recommending unfettered pursuit of selfish individualistic desire animal instinct is entangled, depersonalised, responsively engaged, participating & intra-acting with all the other beings in life's web
