Pryor's Observation:
      How long you live has nothing to do
      with how long you are going to be dead.
     soma cheap somaA sophisticated human can become primitive. What this really means is that the
     human's way of life changes. Old values change, become linked to the landscape
     with its plants and animals. This new existence requires a working knowledge of
     those multiplex and cross-linked events usually referred to as nature.
     It requires a measure of respect for the inertial power within such natural
     systems. When a human gains this working knowledge and respect, that is called
     "being primitive." The converse, of course, is equally true: the primitive can
     become sophisticated, but not without accepting dreadful psychological damage.
