This gave me a good laugh! 😂😂 Thanks!

Money is solely made by man, and it is backed by nothing. People must use it as legal tender and to pay their taxes with it. This is what gives it value. It is crazy how money can change your brain. This is an interesting article because having a asset that everyone values can satisfy all aspects of our brains, in this case sex and food.

What you are referring to the first time you mention money is fiat currency. Money is backed by something. I'm like you. I rarely even bother to use the word fiat currency but in some situation I think it's important to point out.

This says more about us than about the monkeys...

hahaha now thats funny!

So basically you are saying.

One way or another we will end up paying for sex? lol

That is the power of the brain, it can be taught or configured to do good or evil

As we know monkeys have 99% the same DNA with humans.... Does this experiment show that they may also have similar intelligence? Lets think about it!

Ya, Penguins exchange fishes for sex too.

I was there man,


Wild stuff there Mark. Monkeys will be 🚶 walking the streets in no time 😕
