Unfortunately, this unusual tameness was used to their disadvantage: as Darwin notes, men “frequently killed them in the evening, by holding out a piece of meat in one hand, and in the other a knife ready to stick them.”

    Rare to come across someone who has an understanding of the indigineous / the original way that our ancestors saw our relationship with life on Earth.

    I’m not at all shocked that a lot of men now feel lost under the dominant world view. Since the industrial revolution, masculinity has become defined as taking more than you need at a cost that your descendants will need to pay (through harm that you bring to the Earth). That type of imbalance will inevitably promote a lack of purpose.
