However I do understand how someone who doesn't know computers or games would feel very wierd if you put them in front of real like beings on a computer.... kind of as if you showed a TV to people from the middle ages ^^. |
That's why it was important to show that monkeys also do it, to show that it probably is not generational. It may be an inherent trait.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
