(metaphorically speaking of course) How did we eventually learn to fly? It wasn\u2019t by defying gravity and disobeying aerodynamics but by learning how to work with them.&amp;nbsp; Daniel Quinn, in his novel Ishmael, argues there are laws of nature that we have to learn to live within, rather than resist, if we are to continue as a society. In this episode we explore what this \u201cLaw of Life\u201d could be. This is an episode of short stories, cinematic sound effects, and wacky voices. Strap in for liftoff.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; If you\u2019d like to support Human Nature Odyssey, please subscribe wherever you listen, leave a review, and join us on Patreon for exclusive audio extras, writings, and notes.
