It has been unseasonably cool where I live. We're talking low 80's, 26-ish celcius.
Weather is very hard to conceptualize for us monkeys. It's very easy for someone who never needs to stay in one place to have a completely incorrect perception of what weather or climate actually is. People who do stay in one place seem to struggle with it, that should tell you what you need to know.
Is it also very hard for monkeys to look at graphs? They don't seem to have trouble with it when it's in service of screwing us out of money
When you're asking them to look at graphs or the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over — yes, yes it is very hard.
I'm not justifying or excusing their behavior. I'm just explaining it.
