Plugged If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal
“where animals are smart humans are dumb where humans are smart and animals are dumb”
“But I argue in the book that we’re also terrible at feeling the consequences of long-term schemes. Our brains are still designed for making decisions in the here and now, just like animals.”
Plugged If Nietzsche Were a Narwhal
“and I mean that's why I chose Nietzsche for this book to to couch it because that's exactly what he talks about”
Plugged This Book
“That's why I chose Nietzsche for this book; that’s exactly what he talks about. If I’m not wrong, I think the Stoics said something similar: animals live in the moment and aren't weighed down by these other considerations, so in that moment, they are happier.”
“In the book, I argue this isn't necessarily true with what we know from animal cognition, as they do have a bit of future planning. But for the most part, yes, that is true—we can think about our own deaths.”
“I’m not sure; in the book, I make an advanced calculation. Thinking about your death and planning these legacy projects, like writing a book to be remembered for, guides our actions, which is great.”
