This is just a function of modern life. Your brain wasn’t built for sitting in a cubicle. It was built for hunting, gathering, and telling stories and singing songs around a fire. Childhood is just a lot closer to that natural state of things. Growing old didn’t kill your childlike sense of joy and wonder. Working a job did.

I always read this. And I’m not disagreeing. But we had to evolve to hunt and sing and tell stories. At what point do we evolve to where sitting in a cubicle is the “normal” for which we are evolved to do? Like at some point when AI puts us all into the matrix pods, will we say things like “our body wasn’t meant to be in matrix pods all day. We were evolved to sit in cubicles for eight hours and work on computers.”
