If you think about it, form follows function. Our language is so complex because our environment requires it. We need a lot of words to express the reality we live in and that the smartest of us were able to create for us. We also need a lot of language to deceive. Other species don't hold elections so they don't need to be that verbose. :) Makes sense?

I'm living in an apartment house and my basement room is just a small storage room. The only other place to sleep other than the bedroom is upstairs but that's directly under the roof and too hot in the summer. Besides, I love having the windows open at night and I don't want to give that up. Which makes the situation quite difficult. But thanks anyway!

I’d argue that nuclear war only accelerates this, any safety is out the window. Less people, need to rebuild, need to wrestle with effects of nuclear war, etc. That is unless nobody is left. But yes, I agree there is no stopping this and it’s only going to get faster, and I think that’s good, it does not mean we are not going to see negative effects, I just think negative effects from humans are probabilistically worse.
