Tucked away in a corner of one of the immense folds between oblivion and infinity lay the planet earth. On this measly wet rock lived a peculiar species of ape. The poor creatures cared more about a cup of tea than the survival of their own planet. Pity them if you will, but bear in mind they were created with a perceptual apparatus sufficient to lift themselves out of natural efficient poverty. They simply lacked the sense to sustain their lives once they were free. They were promoted by nature to become their own manager, yet they were completely incompetent in this new position.
