Throughout most of our history as humans on this planet
we have lived in small groups. There was no knowledge of the wider world, yet
alone the vastness of the Universe.
If our brains have evolved to deal with such a small
world then is it any surprise that this sudden (in evolutionary terms)
expansion of our awareness of things has left us feeling a little shell-shocked?
What if our brains just can’t cope with the world on that
scale?
Could mental illness be a consequence of that inability
to cope?
Are things getting out of control?
