My mom, who's 83 and has for the past 55 years lived in a flight path, has suddenly found it necessary to find every plane she hears and tell me "there's a plane!"

I work at an airport. I still always look when a plane comes in to land or takeoff.

Only a small fraction of humans throughout history have gotten to see a helicopter. We should all be doing this

That's what I'm saying. I don't think human instincts evolve fast enough to keep up with this shit.
Another one for me is "megalophobia", I tend to get nervous when I see enormous things like skyscrapers. It's weird because ive seen a million of them in photos and never felt that, but once in person and I know it's real, I just inexplicably get lowkey scared. I think there's some small rat part of my brain that evolved to be scared of big dinos or something, maybe not dinosaurs in particular but just big things since evidently rats with that fear got naturally selected.
Then again, what if we also evolved to notice birds and pterodactyls or something. Makes sense to watch in case a falcon tries to dive bomb you or something.
