The word “nature” and the word “techno” mean the same thing. Depends if you look at it from the past or from the future. For example, a little cabin in the mountains: an ape thinks it’s techno, it is the future. But for us it has become nature. We must live with both. It is very important. We can’t be just nature or just techno.

I know this isn’t about RTO, but one of the big reasons for RTO is so that extroverts can get back to their social bullying and oppression against introverts. Extroverts like to have work be a social club with them at the top. In a WFH environment, that is much harder to pull off. Introverts flourish in a more WFH world.

A big part of RTO is just about extroverts again wishing to and being allowed to harm others with impunity.

Masked

Well, that was a massive lie that KN95 masks were more comfortable and easier to breathe through than regular masks. Because I was spraying pesticide, today I wore a 3M KN95 mask. It felt like an alien facehugger was attached to my face. The metal parts were extremely poky and it didn’t even seal all that well despite my best efforts. It was also much harder to breathe than even a double cloth mask. I felt like I’d run a 10K after some very mild physical activity — and I’m in good shape.

So yeah…that was another Covidian lie.

The thing is, the legit evo scholars arguing for recent behavioral/psychological evolution are right. Evolution didn’t stop at the end of the Pleistocene. Instead, increasing population sizes & environmental change probably caused it to accelerate.
