I maintain, despite the moment's evidence against the claim, that we are born and grow up with a fondness for each other, and we have genes for that.

Societies are noisy affairs, drowning out the sound of ourselves and our connection. ↗

I don't claim that our TV comedies are highbrow in anyway, but I think there's a basis to them, and that's why they're more popular than other TV comedies. There's a basis of truth in them, a gut feeling. ↗
