>>13600494>Then at this point it's safe to say that our views of life are just too different for us to agree uponFair enough. Some beliefs cannot be changed by discussion alone. Experience must do it.
>Except that you keep throwing that word around as if calling me names somehow supports your way of thinking.I'm just busting your balls. That's why I overemphasized your hippyness and posted Cartman you silly.
>I wouldn't say we're in an environment different than the one we evolved in. I wrote this post as well so I'll respond to it in this post. How many hunter gatherers drive 2 hours a day and work sitting down for another 8? Our society is completely different from the one we evolved in, largely because, as you point out later in your post, we made it to suit ourselves. Why can't we leverage our intelligence to build a similarly suitable environment for animals in captivity?
>Humans have evolved in a way that suits our comfortable, highly advanced lifestyle. Our DNA has evolved very little, but our behavior has changed much more. We're raised from birth to fit with the world we're born into, no wonder it seems to fit us perfectly.
>little hints of our primal heritage are still thereThey aren't hints of our heritage. They're hints of behavior native to humanity, to us.
>but it's not like we have the urge to run out and kill a guy for food.And why don't we? Because that's not the world we live in anymore.
>I don't think you'll convince me that they're truly, 100% okay with not hunting and surviving, at their coresAt their cores? What cores? Do you seriously think animals have such insight? If they do feel such unrest, why don't we? We are still animals after all, and our penchant towards civilization hasn't changed that.
>And even if they are, I think it's a shame to rob them of it.Even if they were 100% okay, or even pleased, with everything, you're still unhappy that they're not in the wild? Why not? Just because they aren't truly "wild"?
