Hunting and Gathering

Here we have an alternative history in which mankind decided that the idea of turning to agriculture was no fun at all. Imagine what kind of civilization we'd have today if that had been true! But when you think outside the androcentric box, it makes more sense that agriculture was invented by women, especially women who were geographically limited by caring for and protecting young children. This comic is from Zach Weinersmith at Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

Why? Is being honest with ourselves and recognising the things which are important that we never learned, and not assuming that we know even though we don't? I think this mindset is better than thinking we are at the pinnacle of human development without looking at our personal individual weaknesses.

it's funny, I only have the gift of gab when i'm sure it isn't going anywhere. as soon as it looks like, hey, this might happen, i immediately transform into a bumbling idiot.

I agree that learning interpersonal skills like flirting is important, however, it really has no place as part of secondary level education.

As for Germany, and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems awfully liberal in that aspect and others as well (e.g. providing government coverage for homeopathy "treatments"). I guess they are just giving the people what they want no matter how dumb and counterproductive it is. It seems they are doing OK though. Just hope we all aren't heading for a state of idiocracy.
