    Because we’re chimps. Tribalism is in our DNA. And unfortunately, education and socialization doesn’t simply solve the problem.

    There will always be a battle against those who feed the primitive ape brain for their own selfish purposes.

    That is human nature in a nutshell.

      Grinding my teeth as I’m peddling uphill

      The fight against ape-hood is fate versus free will

      We think we’ve advanced but there’s nowhere to go

      Mammals stay captive to animal actions

      So slowly we climb up this DNA brick wall

      Addicted to emptiness, anger and pitfalls

      Desire for space, territory, or lust

      We’ll eventually turn this whole planet to dust
