Alex Lickerman asks:
In other words, as marvelous as our brains are, they’re principally constructed to help us survive and reproduce—not to answer the big questions. After all, understanding the great mysteries of the cosmos doesn’t demonstrably convey a survival advantage. The simple fact is that we may not have yet evolved enough brain power to be able to answer them at all. http://www.happinessinthisworld.com/.../#.TyhsnFFD2Hs
An interesting read that reminded me of how little I know and the likelihood that I am unable to fathom the depth of my unknowing.
Thanks for this!

Tell theoretical physics people this. I think the end of the universe might come before they figure everything out. I doubt they will give up, even then. I am frustrated by how much time and effort goes into studying theoretical physics, while people die from lack of medicine and food and the rest. Where are these peoples priorities?
