That last line is inspired, Jack, brilliantly insightful.
I wonder, are we really evolving? If so, into what? Every generation seems stupider than the last, or maybe it's just their parents who are stupider (which I guess would mean that every generation is stupider than the last, just once removed from the present... I'm confusing myself
)
These "training videos" concern me greatly. Just a week ago some teenager died when he fell of a highrise balcony in Brisbane... and now the do-gooders are insisting that the Department of Education make instructional videos on the dangers of drinking alcohol on balconies.
Come to think of it, maybe natural selection is at work.
