Sometimes I look around at human behavior gone awry--mass shootings, etc.--and while I know there's a range of factors at work, I wonder if a lot of it can be explained by the possibility that we don't have a lot of good habitat left in which the human animal can thrive.

I don't mean to harken to human habitat of old. We don't have to live in small bands of savanna-dwelling communities to be happy (though that's my personal ideal :D). But it's just so damn tough for most people to find nourishing food and safe places to exist.

Have you read The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris? A but dated but essentially that argument.
And ‘s upcoming book, 🏙 Civilized to Death 💀🙈will make a 21st century argument that rhymes a bit with Morris’

Thanks for the tip. I haven't read it, and always feel kinda self conscious about these kinds of tweets for fear they sound overly quixotic, but isn't it clear that a lot of this just... isn't working?
