For example, imagine me, I was born in 1948 and so that means I was 10 years old in 1958. Imagine how many new things I have had to adapt to. For example, people on the LEFT were blowing people and things up a lot in reaction to the Viet Nam War when I was 21 in 1969. So, imagine now it is people on the right destroying people's lives at this point. Who is right and who is wrong? In some ways people are going to do whatever they are going to do. And History often is only written by the victors after they have killed anyone that doesn't agree with them.
So, being able to adapt to all these many many changes might be the single most important human quality if ANYONE wants to survive long term here on earth. Because NOTHING remains the same over time.
For example, Everyone older than me that I knew growing up is basically dead except for two cousins one who is 81 and his wife 83 and another cousin likely 87 or something like that. So, imagine everyone you ever met older than you is already dead pretty much. And none of these cousins live closer than 600 miles away from where I live near San Francisco, California.
However, if you live to be over 70 you likely will experience the same thing that I have.
So, Adaptability IS Survival as a human being.
