Mark,

Medicine is amazing. The complexity of drugs and normal
actions of the body in conjunction with each other is a
seriously challenging thing to understand in depth.

That article touched on a seriously interesting thing which
is the development of mechanisms of the body over very long
timeframes and how they fare now that in a short period
of time life's challenges have changed so much. For
instance, what good are testosterone supercharges in a
setting now governed by law and police?

In my opinion some of the behaviours we've witnessed on
bulletin boards is very much related to this issue. We
may want to react to things we perceive the market has done
to us - but we are mandated by society to take no physical
action. I think some of the behaviours we have watched
might be understandable when they are seen as the only
reasonable outlets - given that the machine is programmed
to take serious action to defend against threats.

Too bad the trees and then the grasslands didn't prepare
us for the changing moods of economic climate and it's
very real threats to our wellbeing any more than it
prepared us for a lifestyle where we drown in uncounted
forms of over abundance.

Pass the aspirin.
