It is, but it's not what everybody wants.
In a different society, they want a society full of
of shameless warriors who are not burdened by having to care about somebody else who are just out there doing it.
And they are social contexts where that would be advantageous.
You know, when I started writing Father Time and was thinking of more male care, I was so much more optimistic about where we were headed than I am today.
I think babies are constantly probing.
I think it's about who's going to help me.
How do I ingratiate myself with this other human?
This is laying the neural groundworks for being a cooperative person later on to understand the intentions of others coming to trust others and learning that you can trust others or not.
So this is where this comes from.
And empathy is important.
an excellent tool if we're able to see things from someone else's point of view, which you were asking me to do all the time in communicating with this audience.
You're saying, well, try to see it from their perspective.
That's what we could lose.
I would hope that a message would be society has a responsibility for shared care and group care.
To say that I'm worried about it is true.
But, you know, I'm 80 years old.
I'm a dinosaur.
I'm not adapted to this world.
It's changing.
