This captures something about today's society that I find so frustrating. The key to human success was never that we were particularly well adapted to our environment. Humans thrived because we began to understand that we can instead change the environment to suit us. Yet I feel that most people today take the system we have created for ourselves as some kind of universal law. It's to the point where changing the system to better serve us is viewed as lazy or cheating. Everywhere pragmatics go "In today's world, we must do this and that to survive". No we mustn't! If the system does not serve us, we can change or replace it.
