Truth Beauty Goodness Feb 24

Today's discussion was a continuation on the intuition of beauty. One hypothesis is that what appeals universally to human beings may be the source of our sense of loss in stories like the Fall. Was paradise a life where human nature fit nature making subsistence sustainable? Jared Diamond titles his first chapter of the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" "Yali's Question". Is New Guinea and example of what sustainable human life have been before the Fall? As civilization becomes more complex, human beings develop more complex social structures that require the imposition of rules on what otherwise would have been our free natures. Good and evil arrive. An interesting contrast seems also there regarding the development of the brain. Are certain abstract thinking abilities developed because of the necessity resulting from more complex social structures? (Referring to the Charlie Rose Show on the Developing Brain series 5.)
