Quote:
“Change is the elixir of the human circumstance, and acceptance of challenge the way of our kind. We are bad-weather animals, disaster’s fairest children. For the soundest of evolutionary reasons, man appears at his best when times are worst.”
Robert Ardley, African Genesis: A Personal Investigation into the Animal Origins and Nature of Man (1961)

He may have something there, right now times are good compared to earlier human history, and man is at his worst.
