Reply to We have all the resources we need to solve the world's greatest problems, so long as we can rise above our tribal instincts. by IAI_Admin
i doubt we can loose the bonds of our instincts, which have been with us since we drew on cave walls. we're tribal, territorial and aggressive by nature. men are unfaithful because they're meant to "go forth and multiply", to spread their dna far and wide, to propagate the species. societal demands such as marriage and fidelity go against our genetic grain.
we've been at war since forever, we're our own worst enemy. yes, we can solve the problems of the world, and yet, we can't.

Reply to comment by MissionViejo92692 in TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual
i read that he put it in the ad, early in the process, as a joke for his co-workers. as the process of approval climbed the chain, the insert was forgotten about and went unnoticed.
