A better metaphor would be a farm. We are livestock. Some of us caged in batteries, others free-range. But still, livestock. The stables and cages are pretty well hidden, so we imagine ourselves free. This is good for productivity. The other way to see it we're a superorganism, and total freedom is malignant growth. > what does the status struggle and > other aspects of a city life affect its inhabitants and a lot more. > > Was wondering if anyone here has read any of his works especially "The Human > Zoo" and "The Naked Ape" and if yes > how did they find it ?
