Humans: we’re not made like we used to be. While we’ve adapted to sitting 8+ hours a day and shopping for food instead of hunting, I can’t help but imagine there are consequences. For abandoning our biological hardware plans, for retooling ourselves into something evolution had no say in.
Our bodies benefit from exercise, but our society encourages sedentary behavior. We’re mostly indoors when vitamin D is created in our bodies through sunlight. We use the internet and memes and movies and music apps, but our brains never evolved to take in such stimuli. They evolved to spot lions in the distance.
It’s like turning a microwave into a radio. Assuming such a thing is possible, the radio might be effective, but it still has the quirks and traits of the microwave. It would be better if the radio was built slowly and over time. It would be better if we evolved, over thousands of years, to have sedentary lifestyles, rather than thrusting ourselves into it.
