16 years of school-more or less-then 30 -50 years of working-Most of out lives we are socialized to conform to group standards like worker bees. It would be hard to exist outside of the group with no food,doctor care,housing,money. I wonder if is the path to extinction because we become more distant from nature's natural ways.

Either through nature or nurture (or possibly a bit of both) the vast majority of the population are hopelessly driven by the herd instinct. To act, think and believe according to the dictates of the rest of the herd. If the rest say something, then it must be true - even if it is a complete contradiction of yesterday's truth. They know that they enjoy working hard in a meaningful and humanitarian way, even though they blatantly do nothing of the sort. Basically, they get comfort from their sense of belonging and security; on a sub-conscious level, they realise that they are lacking in character and that the security is illusionary. Life is considerably harder for life's individuals that display originality; apart from missing out on many things, they get treated badly by the resentful masses (unless they are famous, rich or powerful). I don't believe that it will lead to any kind of extinction, just a degradation of the species' humanity, and a closeness to the pure reaction to the actions of their fellows ways of non-thinking animals - just look and copy the majority.

We are programmed to work and suppot our children, unlike worker bees.
Generally, worker bee individuals Do Not reproduce. Thats left to the queen. But, most humans do reproduce (though plenty of guys just keep hoping to).
Reproducing will keep humans in line with natures natural ways, no matter whether some of us work our butts of or not. Human civilizations (ie cites) are based on lots of individuals competing to be better than others, ie make more money, support more kids. As long as some people keep having kids the human race will keep with natures ways.

YES. The money system had to be created because people
crowd in cities for protection. But the cities get glutted. Too
may people. So they couldn't barter, or exchange goods like before. Too many peole with the same product.
The money system is a joke really. Though all the complaints
I hear about it, don't give any solutions to the complaints.
You might say it's a necessary evil.
The banks started out using OUR money to loan and get rich.
And the truth is, if everybody went to thier bank to
get their money. The bank wouldn't have it.
SOOOO. If it wasn't for US. The WORKING STIFFS. Who have to work to make money to pay bills and survive. The money system would fold!
