Thanks, Gregory. Given that so much of our bullshit is designed to cover up this unflattering stuff, it is not surprising that it gave rise to this reaction in you. It actually is kind of insulting. Not toward you or anyone in particular, but toward the human species in general. It made me uncomfortable for a while too, so I can sympathize with your reaction.

Thanks for reading and glad it got you thinking. Cheers.
