The Human Brain evolved for better gossiping.

Nope. I think it's sad, but hey, that's the reality.

The human brain didn't evolve to make good tools. To erect civilization, and advance technology or anything grand like that.

It evolved as social grooming became ever-more complex... and we started to master the art of gossip. Hell, even LANGUAGE evolved for gossip. Sigh.

Pretty much the only reason humans have so much "intelligence" is for gossip (i.e. social relations) to become ever-more "interesting" "multi-levelled" and complex.

Technology, and "academic" intelligence are mere by-products of the brain that evolved for gossip. SIGH.

sad state.

Humans are incredibly social animals... social more than anything else... just look around you, it's the 21st century but still what's most important for humans is "gossip", i.e., social stuff.

And I suck at gossiping.. small talk... and all that jazz :(
