Comedy depends on showing how many ways something can go wrong—on violating expectations

“Humor is tragedy plus time “

Mark Twain

Human creativity may be the culmination of a long evolutionary trend toward ever more sophisticated brain mechanisms that produce ever less predictable behaviors. These capacities may make psychology maddeningly difficult as a predictive science, but they also make life worth living outside the lab.

Evolution may be heartless, but it is not humorless.

By viewing human evolution as a romantic comedy, we might understand not only our creative capacities for producing witty novelties, but also our ability to reinvent ourselves with each new sexual relationship. People act differently when they're in love with different people. We tend to match our expressed interests and preferences to those of a desired individual. One develops a crush on a mountain-climber, and suddenly feels drawn to the sublime solitude of the Alps. One dates a jazz musician, and feels prone to sell one's now puerile-seeming heavy metal albums.

Mostly, we use our memes to improve our sexual and social status

"سواءٌ كنتَ مؤمِناً أو غيرَ مؤمِن، الأصلُ فيكَ الخلود بشكلٍ او بآخر، وهو ممكن، بشكل أو بآخر."

"إعشق ولِد وقاتِل وصِح واكتب حتى على الصخرة الأخيرة التي ستُبعَثُ منها في يوم من الأيام"

The saying “it’s always in the last place you look” is redundant. Of course it is, once you found it you stop looking for it. [link]

‏الحقُّ أنني أكره إيقاعَ المدن؛ حيثُ يُشعرني - باستمرار - أن هناك ما يوشِكُ أن يقع. بينما في الريف، يوحي الإيقاعُ البطيء؛ أن كل شيءٍ على ما يرام. حتى في الجنائز، يسيرون ببطء، تاركين للجنازةِ ما يكفي من الوقت، لأنْ تتراجعَ عن قرارها، وتعودَ إلى الحياة.
علي عكور

Over the long term, our species, like every other, has just two possible evolutionary fates over the long term: extinction, or further splitting apart into a number of daughter species—each of which will either go extinct or split again.
Our responsibility is not to speculate endlessly about the possible futures of our daughter species, but to become their ancestors
