Homo sapiens sapiens emerged over 200,000 years ago and the flexuous, precarious journey of this species is nebulous, since writing only developed in southern Mesopotamia in the 4th millennium BCE [1, 2]. One aspect about humans that is clear is that they possess a predatory, puerile central nervous system wired for seeking pleasure and foudroyant experiences. Perhaps the first recorded incident of humans seeking ultimate joy was the willingness to receive knowledge that would lead to happiness, as found in the Genesis 3:6 account of Eve and then Adam (Hebrew "ha-adam" or "mankind") consuming the forbidden fruit (Hebrew "pri") from the tree (Hebrew "etz" or "Ha-etz") of the knowledge of good and evil. When they failed to first partake of the fruit ("ruach" or spirit that provides eternal life) from the tree of life, the consequences were disastrous for them and for others in this recording of the Fall of Man ("ha-adam" or the adam), thus resulting in a Cadmean curse. They, of course, did not appreciate the tenacious puissance of consuming the wrong product; indeed, seeking and partaking of "fruits" or various epinosic and edacious chemicals, including those from natural plants, for various levels of joy and avoiding healthy plants has proven to be cimmerianly cataclysmic for human beings ever since.
