Symbolism in the Modern World

We tend to see the world first and forem as if its character's in motion. And part of the reason for that is because we're deeply social primates, deeply social animals. We didn't really manage it until like, 500 years ago, right? It's very new. Maybe you could push it back to the greeks, but they weren't really scientists,. They laid some of the groundwork for what became science later on.
