Awesome post. And I had so much more appreciation for it after watching the video, I like how he is doing his own independent thing with so much ambition and intent to educate about important topics. Kudos to Stuart!

The Reptile analogies remind of me the scene in Fear And loathing where Hunter. S is tripping and sees them all behaving viscously haha. Found the first half very interesting! Really makes me question love within animals other than human beings. Weird.

Really cool comic. “Supernormal Stimuli” reminds me of how Joe Rogan will sometimes talk about how movies and advertising “hijack your reward system” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y49K9O_ZF1k.
