Years ago I read that the first self-help book, which started what is probably the greatest editorial industry success going by the ratio profits/cost of production, was a 1840-ish book conveniently called "Self-Help."
It was written by an Episcopalian Minister, who argued that poor people were poor because they spent all their money stupidly in booze, entertainment and scams of all sorts, and instead of doing that they should save money and give it to his church and then the poor would stop being poor.
I thought: My goodness, this cannot be true because in scam-free world, there would not be a publishing industry at all!
I know no one wants to hear it, but there is a huge gap and terrible events separating walking upright and rat’s brilliant and insightful question. #LookAtTheWhy
But who will build muh zoos - so I can hurtle doodoo at the hoomans?

Rat giving insight to Monkey: try, try again, but with a user warning regarding evolution, no?
Perhaps Rat has heard of Thomas Sowell and knows that «there are no solutions, only trade-offs».
The point of books and education has always been conditioning primates to accept the Pedo priesthood of education. Since Plato.

Get thee back to the trees, humans!
If we get back into the trees do you suppose it will take another 7 million years to get over all this nonsense?
