"sich suchen und finden" is rly cute actually

I simply cannot enjoy most zombie apocalypse media because they portray human nature as so egregious. Like, I'm a trained archaeologist with an especial interest in prehistory. Yes, different groups of humans have always competed for resources on some level, but the literal reason why there are even humans today is because we're biologically engineered to want to cooperate with each other. Chances of survival go up when you're a part of a group. Yes there will always be arseholes and people who won't work with the group but by and large when the chips are down people help each other. Just look at any local response to a natural disaster. People have survived ice ages and worldwide sea level rises and nightmarish prehistoric predators and prehistoric plagues that we can't even imagine in the modern day based on their ability to help each other. You exist because your ancestors helped and were in turn helped by others. So when zombie media is like 'these survivors are all for murdering each other even though they're all facing the same threat' it just really takes me out.

It seems I am the only person in the seminar that played all assassin's creed games, including the professor, so while I am less familiar with the historical architecture and such I am at least knowledgeable on something
