I'm not so worried about surviving off the land, it's surviving the panicked populace.
I read a statistic that every 28 hours a black man dies at the hands of the police in the US. That's just wrong.
People may ask me why I like science, especially evolution and why I think science is important in general.
Simple, evolution kills off racism. Once you understand it correctly you realise we're all the same and it's just evolution as to why we're different. Therefore killing off our main divisive force on the planet.
Why do I like science and see it as important? Simple, the more you learn about it the more you realise that other explanations are mere myths and the methods of science is our only hope of understanding. This kills off the other divisive part of our nature (or reduces it's impact), that of superstition. This is by far the most dangerous one.
I long for a rational world, unfortunately we're far far away from it and just when it seems we're starting to head the right way there comes along something to convince me that we are still nothing more than children still growing up. Evolution has a lot to answer for.
