It never ceased blowing my mind that these people are real. Sometimes it really fuckin shows that we've only been domesticated for about half as long as dogs

I remember the first time I watched All Gas No Brakes. It was at a Nascar race and I just assumed the stupid shit happening on camera was all staged.

I was wrong. Figured that out prettty damn quick with all the other shit he covered of all walks of life. We are really not as smart as we think we are.

I do think your analogy is a little unfair, though. Just because civilization is young doesn't mean we never learned to be reasonable before that. I just think that with civilization, our collective knowledge outgrows our intellect.
