Too many of us are just coasting. Here are seven ways to infuse some savagery into you lives

Alex Mathers

Our lives may look very different from how it did thousands of years ago. Can you imagine what your bear-skin-wearing ancestors would think walking through a city?

Maybe they stumble on a group of people twerking at an outdoor festival? I’m glad they didn’t.

Despite the modern changes, who we are as humans, and what we need have not changed.

If it has, it will only be fractional.

We are our ancestors.

We are ancient people trapped in modern cities. So in a funny sense, our ancestors ARE watching the modern doofus twerking and — rightly — grimacing.

We are born to be savage. We come alive when we allow this part of our nature to rise within us.

This is what I mean:

Do what you said you’d do.

Why will this make you more savage?

Because you’re living an honest life. You’re not lying to yourself or those around you.

You say what you plan to do, and you’ll say it in a way that raises the hairs on your neck because it should be daunting. And then you’ll pull your finger out your ass and go do it.
