   The natural thing was that humans would be hunter gatherers.   
   Since leaving that behind, lots of other unnatural objections to   
   nature's way have come along, like wanting to eat but refusing to be   
   eaten (as much as possible).   
      
   Putting a hunter gatherer in a city with concrete and stop lights   
   everywhere is about like putting a lion or a grizzly in a zoo.  Ever   
   seen a lion going mad with frustration?  Back and forth, back and   
   forth.  This is not how it was supposed to be he thinks.   
      
   The bubbling from underneath, like gasses escaping from a tar pit,   
   comes in humans because they somehow believe concrete and stoplights   
   is exactly how things should be.   
      
   Metaphorically.
