Building Bridges

[starkraven]

Synapses’ busy highways
have been lighting up our minds
building exponential bridges
since the early humankind

wandered out from their savannas
and invented tools of stone.
We’ve evolved these days to using
new computers and iPhones.

Our computers are extensions
of our evolutionary minds.
Intellectually we’re brilliant
but emotionally we’re blind

ruled by tribalism’s instincts,
science will not be our savior
if we can’t control our impulses
and alter our behavior.

[A. M. Moon]

Evolution and neuroplasticity! You've summed up the powers of both nature and 'nurture'. Well done.
