20190605 SAVERS for WEDNESDAY

I'm not working w/Dr. P today, so I ALMOST just stayed in bed.  BUT...... I psyched myself into doing my full SAVERS today by agreeing to do one step after another, until I did it all!  YAY!!!

READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the movement from "wild" to "domesticated" (wrt draught animals) involved very unseemly treatment (corrals, cages, castration, mutilation (-branding?), and generally altering their natural inclinations to the point of economic advantage for the farmers.

Obviously this changed the course of evolution, and I believe Harari is saying (or will soon say) ..... NOT IN A GOOD WAY.

He's right.  This is like hearing about the truths about my religion after 35 years of believing it - it's tough to accept the truth that it's a bunch of baloney.  After 15K years, it's tough to admit that we did wrong.

I'm not sure if I should be feeling guilty about it.  I'm not sure if that's what Harari is trying to engender.  I hope that he hopes for at least SOMETHING better in all this.  We'll see.
