suckling is continuous

What does it mean to be rational, to be autonomous? Left to our own devices we would quickly die or go mad or both.

Rationality is a fetish of the hubrisitic and rugged individualism is a myth of the vainglorious.

Those that want to deny their own animal nature and their inherent frailty. To paraphrase Alexander Pope's poem "Essay on Man", 'reason (rationanl mind) separates man from beasts.'

But it doesn't. We are animals. We hunger. We hunt. We sleep.
We suckle....continuously indeed.
