< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Another Scientific Explanation

Human society and the advertising industry, which belong to different kingdoms, co-evolved co-dependence like bees and flowers. That brain thingy, with which we used to think we think, is only the relic of this evolutionary arms race, which also led us to walk on two feet by deprioritizing the legs race. And that’s why things so often only seem to make sense.

clue:

“Brain: An apparatus with which we think we think.” — Ambrose Bierce
