Even the most skeptical skeptic has to admit it is bizarre

I can remember long ago, thinking I am really special and so much better than all the other animals with my air-conditioning, hot water heater, and grocery stores that provide all I want to eat.

And then i got older, and weaker, and tired, and stressed out, and eventually fell apart; and almost died and wondered what it in the world went wrong; it used to seem so easy to live.

Well, the thing about culture is, it is very deceiving, supposedly an advancement over years past.

But no, in my experience now it is anything but that..

In fact, in my experience now, culture is like a virus, humans are not.

In traveling to the earth from space as one moves in and sees the cancer of technology driven by products of human culture, originally derived from our ability for complex language, recording knowledge, collecting knowledge, and sharing it, the answer is clear; as it is for astronauts who first return to earth, and see the truth of what culture does, not human beings alone by far.

The answer is this:

Human beings are not evolved to live in social groups as large as they do now.

Culture is the adaptation to an inherently insane way of living.

Does it work? Yes, but sadly and illusory not well at all for the average individual, to even gain simple homeostasis that most animals can and do easily attain on a day to day basis, after the rigors of gaining subsistence are done for now.

We are only as advanced as we feel day to day in the only reality that is now.

And what separates us from just the basic reality of animal homeostasis that animals so easily gain; however, requiring a text book for some humans to gain in meditation, and other ways to escape the trap of complex language and culture, is true sanity.

A kiss if one wills.

Keep it simple stupid.

To be clear that is a metaphor; it is not directed at anyone here at all.

But I'm not too stupid to admit that my life for decades was crazy, to try to be so dam smart in the intellectual way.

And so dam dum at the expense of being free.

I learn from real enlightened beings, in wild life, yes in nature free; than ever from a book, church, politician, or any other illusory way of life, beyond nature true.

The illusion is that culture makes us special; for the most part no, in my opinion culture is the virus; and the animal who is human, is not a bad fellow at all, at core of what it truly means to be human being.
