Our amazing brain-meats... and how we're still pretty stupid.

[kitsune_artsy]

So this year has been full of me not believing in things anymore... Like, first, God. Then karma, but then again I never really believed that. But now I'm come to doubt the existence of the human soul. I mean... how long ago did we evolve into thinking of ourselves as "I" and "myself"? Human evolution isn't perfect; in exchange for upright walking, we now have a plethora of back and foot problems and birthing hurts like a motherfucker so I'm told. But what does this mean for the human mind? Religion and faith in general, to me, seems like our way of coping with life's unpleasant facts that we now understand thanks to our amazing brain-meats. Same with the soul. Isn't it more pleasant to thing that there is at least one thing eternal and not effected by time? Much nicer than knowing that overtime our brain starts failing just like any other organ of our body.

I need to organize my thoughts a little better on this, though. I may return to this later.

It's been a while since I entered anything of any importance in this lj...
