We Aren't Designed

A going pet peeve of mine is when people say things like “we weren’t designed to look at screens all day” or “we weren’t built for 8 hours of sitting at a stretch”.

It’s technically true, but only because we weren’t designed at all. There is absolutely nothing that we were designed to do.

We kinda randomly got assembled over billions of years and as a result we’re kinda good at throwing rocks and living to about the age of 45: anything we do outside of that is anomalous.
