Evolution of paranoia.
10 Mar 2010 12:33Got a first-hand account of how the human psyche has changed over the ages.
Back in medieval times, for example, when a person or small group heard an inexplicable sound, they would often attribute it to restless spirits, monsters, or other forms of the arcane and unworldly.
This morning, an inexplicable sound filled the airport, and I and 7 other people all at the same time asked the exact same question:
"What the hell kind of ring tone is THAT?"
(Turns out it was a toy motorcycle that played some 80's-esque rock ditty when you pressed down on the rider's helmet.)
