Calling the human species more evolved seems right anthropologically, but when it comes to blissful living we are far behind, maybe the worst. The fact that are brains are over grown harms
us in several ways. We are able to complicate the simplest of scenarios to our disadvantage and then create entire careers around trying to manage those complexities. Take psychiatry. Ever heard any other species requiring help? Of course we have made dogs so much man's friend that dogs have now started getting depressed when we are not around.
We have created our own version of the Matrix, just that ours is much more sophisticated in the sense that we have created artificial programs in the real world, much more difficult to unplug from.
I envy Neo.
