Why is our stress system more suited for “getting attacked by lions” than modern financial worries?
In: 9
Because the financial problems aren’t “real.” They don’t directly threaten any of our biological needs (food, water, shelter). Our caveman DNA doesn’t recognize the threat of losing numbers on a screen or pieces of paper with numbers on them. We don’t need those things to survive. We only trade them for the things we need.
