Alright, that couldn't be farther from the truth. People talk about what makes them happy and comfortable. If I want to hang out with my friends, drinks beer and play beer pong all night until I pass/black out, thats my prerogative. If I want to sit in a Coffee shop and chat about the world and society while pondering what the future has in store for the world, again, thats my prerogative.
It just so happens that for a lot of people, reminiscing about past good times, planning their future fun, and dreaming about being somewhere that makes you happy is what makes them happy and comfortable.
A good heated debate about politics is always welcome on my behalf, but for a majority of people my age (I'm 21), drinking beer, getting ass, and trying to stablilize their future happiness is 1, 2, and 3 on the top of my priorities.
I'll admit, the majority of my conversations with my friends is breaking eachothers balls and talking about how much fun we had the night before (or something to that extent), but who is to say that those conversations are worthless and non-evolved from monkeys? It just so happens that I get much joy and laughter out of each and every perception about our lifelong memories each of my friends interprets.
We have evolved, we've evolved into a species that not only is moving forward in technological advances every day, but also as people that understand, care, and can relate to every day problems people are bounded with. The majority of the world today no longer acts with neanderlithic tendancies as before, but rather think and act out of compassion to settle disputes. Just think of how far we have come from in just a century on settling domestic disputes. We have evolved, and quite nicely if you ask me.
