Let's hunt and gather together

Some people can't stand putting things off. They're a dying breed. Do you think life is easier for them?

Humans are built to be hunter-gatherers. I keep thinking of that and feeling weird about life. What is so important about the quest for truth, really? Hunter gatherers... they hunt, and gather. Everyone used to do that. The image of grunting "cavemen" is revealed to be further and further from the truth, the more I read about them.

Work used to be play. Here, read this.

Now there is work and play.

My plan with school was to learn, and therefore be happy spending all this time learning. But there is essays, and natural science requirements, and procrastination. The late Steve Jobs, when he dropped out of college, walked everyday to the university just to drop in on classes and learn what he wanted to learn, and he loved it.

I just can't stop thinking of those hunter-gatherers. This, right here, is not what my body is for.
