F*ing around

Drilling In The Dark: why can't people stop fucking around?

Leens:

Bio explanation: it's written into our genetic code, the fucking around gene is right next to the guilty pleasure allele and just below the eating when your not hungry base pairs.

Economics explanation: Fucking around is impossible to eliminate because of supply and demand, and since econ is an imperfect pseudo science based entirely on the conjecture of a few really really bored philosophy majors who like math .. I offer no further explanation.

History explanation: Based on evidence found in ruins in Rome, fucking around has been a part of modern society from the early days and his so ensconced itself in our collective consciousness that for centuries we have been repeating the pattern of pretending to work while secretly reading Go Fug Yourself.com without any societal repercussions. This pattern will surely repeat itself for years to come much like the rise and fall of empires and the inevitability of Lady Gaga's pantlessness.
