Humans keep advancing their tools and systems.
But the mind still runs on what I call the “Monkey OS.”
Desire pulls us around,
anxiety knocks us down,
and the mood of the group decides everything.
If dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteor,
humans are the monkeys who drop the meteor on themselves.
Roles as the Last Mental Crutch
Work identity,
family position,
status inside a group.
When these disappear, most people become unstable almost instantly.
The brain still thinks “role equals survival.”
So the fear around AI taking jobs or BI replacing work
is not really about policy.
Once roles dissolve, the psyche collapses with surprising ease.
Civilization Accelerates, the Mind Stays Behind
We destroy environments,
complexify our societies,
and accelerate technology.
But our inner evolution hasn’t caught up at all.
That mismatch is the true source of today’s exhaustion.
It’s not personal weakness.
It’s just outdated neural firmware.
Carrying Monkey OS into the near future is like
trying to handle smartphone-level information
with a flip-phone brain.
Of course it breaks.
