When humans do things, they don’t always know why.
They wake up, knowing it is because of an alarm.
They eat because of the time, or due to hunger.
They bathe, brush teeth, and dress themselves appropriately for the day, or the night, with an eye on the weather.
They work, because if they didn’t there would be consequences.
And they sleep because they know they need to be well rested
before the alarm goes off again…
Humans are of course slightly more complicated than this
But the essential human attributes these days
Consists of lists of necessary routines that
While they may be aware of needing to do them
They might not always know why
Some of the humans regularly tune into this show
Where they jump into a conversation
About recent research, filling their heads with science-y news
But do they know why they do this?
Or do they only know that if they didn’t
They wouldn’t know what they are not about to miss
Here on
