The entire world economy explained using cows
Heh. The sad part is how true it all is. Only one option produces wealth and prosperity, but humans seem determined to choose every other possible option instead, even though they all guarantee failure.
Readers! My Quick November Fund-Raiser for Behind the Black is now over

That is funny, funny because its true.
That’s not funny because it’s true.
Its usually a good idea to learn to laugh at the ridiculousness of existence. Human beings over intellectualize things because they can and I believe that that is Mr. Zimmermans point and it may not be classically funny but it is certainly ironically funny.
Its just a different kind of funny.
At the end of the day, a cow’s purpose (like all animals) is to make as many copies of itself, spreading it’s DNA as far & wide as possible.
Cows taste great to humans, so there are WAY more of them than would normally be possible.
That sounds like a very successful batch of DNA, don’t ya know? I’m off to get a cheeseburger!
You’re taking this too seriously. Both of us are right. It is funny because it’s true, but it’s also not funny because it’s true.
