Humans:

It’s just become steeped in tradition, and sorry to be a stereotypical edgelord and quote Rick Sanchez but scientifically, traditions are an idiot thing.

it’s got diamond rain, man.

Keep that shit down, or the US will have to “bring freedom” to Neptune.

Woah there cowboy,

We’re still closer to rival monkey tribes hurling our shit at one another as it exits our anuses than we are some benevolent civilization with noble pursuits like knowledge.

Don’t worry, a few more pointless world wars and population decimations born out of glorified sociopathy, and our species might actually develop admirable priorities beyond tribal resource hoarding from the ashes.

When humans are no longer interested in keeping up with some Kardashian descendant, perhaps we will have stumbled into an age of reason. Seems like as good an indicator as any.

I mean, does Neptune have oil???

We might need a little more to finish destroying our sole, communal habitat. Anything worth doing is worth doing well!

As we’re both Trekkies, I tell my spouse who likes it warmer all the time that they’re exposing us to unnecessary radiation leaks.

We were warned, too.

Yeah, I learned my lesson after completing my master’s.

It’s all a scam based on pre-existing connections with the right socio-economic circles. I won’t be here to see it, but hopefully the next iteration of human society will be less regressive.

I love that getting shitfaced drunk likely predates humanity and even primates by hundreds of millions of years.

…WELL ACTUALLY…

Yes.

George Carlin - Your Owners

“Of course it’s true! Supply side economics is the cornerstone doctrine of colleges of economics the world over!”

And the entrenched, generational capital that fund/endow the most prestigious colleges of economics, that the rest want to be like, clearly stand to gain nothing ensuring global economic theory revolves around give the owner class all the money and pray for rain.

“Your socioeconomic status is a measure of work ethic, sacrifice, and ability to make good decisions. Poor people deserve to be poor, and suffer, for making bad decisions.”

Birth lottery which includes not just wealth but family connections is the biggest metric. We are way down the list of developed nations in terms of upward mobility. Only the outliers that prove to be of the greatest service to entrenched capital are granted entry. Most Americans, religious or not, have internalized the dogma of the prosperity gospel, itself an absolute parody of the dogma of Christianity it claims to be part of.

Go to any local fast food restaurant at rush hour, hell, go to any produce field at harvest, and tell me how much that studious hard work pays off. conversely, please regail me with tales of how hard it is to be a capital landlord, making investments gambling with insider information with capital gained from previous exploitations, and then merely expecting an endless steam of capital for NO labor into what generated it. It’s like we were conquered by the traveling snake oil salesmen of old.

It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.

No one gets to try to tell me how I should feel about something.

No one gets to try to shame/guilt me about what I believe.

No one gets to take my self-advocacy, as I am my only advocate.

My problem is with a specific, hyper common ingredient of Indian food: Cumin

I’m sorry, but garlic, onion, cloves, etc don’t even come close to the clinging, pervasive staying power of cumin.

I don’t like to smell what I cook or eat for days after the fact.

A history of all of our misdeeds and self-inflicted suffering, probably 1gb of compressed literature and 3gb of imagery and video, along with an Earnest plea:

Please if you are able, either teach us how to save us from ourselves, or be merciful and destroy us. Don’t let this self-inflicted carnage of we barely sapient creatures commit on one another due to lack of meaningful intellect or empathy continue.

Either take our hand and teach us as the confused, selfish, irrational children that we are, or just end this evolutionary mistake.

I can finally start dealing with my internet addiction!

Wait…

No friend, I meant the opposite.

I live in the US, a gold plated dystopia. I would be very much prefer to live in the Nordic nations. I dislike the United States, I see the Nordic nations as role model nations.
