The Side Effects of Endorphins

I’ve argued previously that attempts to alter history and teachings of history should not be undertaken.

So if the question is rephrased to read what things in history, do you wish never happened, then I’ll be willing to answer that question.

Can you imagine this world with the dinosaurs never going extinct. Certainly,, there would be a lot of dinosaurs that we don’t have now. It would not even affect the traffic on this planet.

There would be no Sinclair oil. We will be making fuel out of plants. There certainly won’t be the extent of plastic that we have on this planet either. But I have a good faith that us humans would screw it up anyways.

But maybe not. It certainly changes the equation when it comes to greed and amassing large amounts of money. We all might be content ending our workday and sliding down the tail of a dinosaur much like Fred Flintstone.

And for those of you who believe the literal translation of the Bible. Can you imagine the mass chaos with Noah and his ark? Dinosaurs would be an unruly bunch on the good ship Ararat.

But we have to go back one stepfather

A massive asteroid roughly 6 miles wide struck Earth 66 million years ago. The impact in modern-day Mexico triggered global wildfires, tsunamis, and a thick cloud of dust and sulfur that blocked the sun, causing a harsh “impact winter” that wiped out three-quarters of all life, including the non-avian dinosaurs.

I don’t have a magic undo key, but if I did, we could steer that asteroid so that it misses the Earth. We no longer would have to pave paradise and put in a parking lot.

But you never know what you got until it is gone.

As an aside, I did minimal research here and came across Sinclair oil. Sinclair is the name of our cat. I didn’t realize she built a big empire in the United States. I checked her bank account and yeah, she’s a fat cat.
