    06:396 Historical Hangovers Making Us Miserable Today
    • We may be richer than ever, we struggle to see what difference we could possibly make to anyone else's life. All the while, we lose ourselves in temptations which our evolutionary past leaves us defenceless against. Because we were programmed to eat any sugary thing a rare blackberry or apricot that came our way, we now cannot resist the plethora of satanic confections on offer on every street corner. Because in our old villages we might have seen one or two fertile people a day, we now can't stop looking at ceaseless digital processions of the unclothed. We have no willpower to resist the pitiless delights of the modern world. It's hard to reverse any of the pressures we have been placed under. But even if we cannot, knowing that these exist helps us to locate with greater fairness the origins of many of our troubles. We are not uniquely or personally awful, frantic, greedy or degenerate.
