This is totally incoherent, you should have some warm milk with honey or something else pleasant and easy to digest, you'll feel better.

I don't use a spell checker so sorry for the typos I guess. Though, I suspect you understood me perfectly, just wanted to brag about something or lash out.

Just because our ancestors starved, often didn't get enough sleep, fought violently and did all kinds other bad things, it does not mean they'll "turn out" to be good.

Our evolved preferences are a simple heuristic for the parts of our environment that are good for us and the parts that are bad. We prefer to have food often, to sleep a lot, to feel safe and not engage in violence. Even though very few of our ancestors had these things, they are obviously good.

Evolved preferences are a good guide too. But sometimes we can see where the preference wasn't attainable, so the actual environment might give better clues.

I'm going to go have some warm milk and honey now. I was astounded to find out what percentage of our paleolithic diet came from honey (15-30% or more)
