00:00Man is still afraid of that. How the Australian marsupials disappeared? Why did they disappear?
00:05Because evolution was not getting into their body to be quickly afraid of man.
00:09They looked at man and they said, oh, a small being. And that small being killed them all one by
00:14one.
00:15The same kind of animals did not get extinct in Africa or Asia because there those animals had
00:21come up along with man. And the long evolutionary journey together had told them that man is
00:27dangerous. That you know then is the function of fear. That is why man experiences fear. Fear is
00:34inbuilt in the body. And fear was needed in order to survive physically. But you also see that
00:39evolution is a lagarde. Evolution does not respond quickly to environmental changes. So if evolution
00:46has taught you to be afraid of something, it does not unteach you to not to be afraid of that
00:52thing
00:52when the fear is gone. So man then is biologically conditioned to be afraid of the dark. But
00:57evolution has not learned that man now has electricity since the last few hundred years. So even
01:04though electricity has arrived, man is still afraid of dark.
