Confessions 1d
You ever think about how young we are as a species. 2,000 years is nothing. 100 - 150 years of modern civilization with electricity and industrial capabilities is like… we’re right at the beginning, we’re babies. It makes a lot more sense, a lot of stuff

does and even yourself and your own biological urges and how they clash with modern circumstances when you consider just how young we are. Just barely out of the jungle, as George Carlin says. Although I guess it’s more like, what, a savannah or plains? Idfk

I guess technically the oldest civilizations are… well idk I don’t remember but I guess 5,000 years? Are any 8 k? It is that too much Can you really call it civilization when you have nomadic tribes? I feel like there might be civilizations we don’t know about that are older that just vanished. How old are those pyramids that they find built in Java and south east asia? And anatomically modern humans or the species itself must be several hundred thousand years old I imagine? Maybe at least 200

200 k. But still, that’s pretty short. Damn though I can’t believe how slow we all moved for the 1st 198 k years. Well really the 1st 199,850 years. Makes us look like dumbasses to be honest

I was reading a book that explained how civilization as we call it today can't really develop when a tribe is nomadic and always on the move
