“We are products of a past world where sensitivities to certain things were a matter of life or death.”

In a world where adapters succeed, but non-adapters fail, one expects to find vestigial remnants...

We are products of a past world where sensitivities to certain things were a matter of life or death.<!-- Ch. 6, p.246
