    Exactly. We’re nothing but monkeys in trousers. We have a lot of evolving yet to do, psychologically speaking.

      One of the biggest failings with a lot of idealist political systems (anarchism, libertarianism, communism, etc.) is that they try to do away with hierarchies and bosses. But, those are inevitable for great apes. A good setup provides a way to limit and manage the bosses that will inevitably appear. Yes, it legitimizes their power, but by acknowledging it, it also provides a way to limit it.

      You guys are wearing trousers? I find it slows down the whole process of throwing feces at my enemies.

        Oh, so it’s faster for you to take a shit on command than it is to have trousers to collect the shit so you can just reach back and grab it when you want to?

        If so, I’m impressed.

        I imagine you haven’t flung much shit or spent much time thinking about it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you can just shit when you want to. You’re probably just a beta trying to impress the shit flinging alpha shit veterans though. :p

        If I’m wrong though, all hail floofloof. We’re not worthy!
