Like it or not, fight/flight is a more intense thing than even fuck, and was evolved to get the job done. Fuck makes for a whole lot of great music and fashion and well-styled cars and what have you, but it won’t put a man on the moon.
And unfortunately, the gamut of motivations between fight/flight and fuck just aren’t in the same league of intensity; they’re rarely if ever all-consuming.
…But the impetus of technological development is shifting to the point where it’s developing itself to a greater and greater extent; perhaps eventually leading to something as transcendent as Adams’ Deep Thought designing Earth.
