With every sign of intelligence we bestow upon the human race, to continue to adhere to a personal culture or lifestyle that denies inspiration, aspiration, motivation and the desire to understand the building blocks of human nature is conducive to the metaphor of the 'boiling frog'. " If a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death", a metaphor for the inability of people to react to significant changes that occur gradually. All be it the frog might like being in the pot, but surely humans don't.
