life was pretty good for me today. I spent my free time at school researching for the Sacabambaspis shrine, and that was pretty interesting. I like the litte guy, even if their long extinct. guess it brings some joy in such a bleak world.
I've always had an interest in prehistoric creatures, especially the paleolithic ones. Their so odd, yet we are related to them, in a sense. We're all related, we just have to trace it back a couple billion years. We all come from the same orgin, in a sense, distant upon the web of evolution, we are still together in the end. Are we not sophisticated apes, ones with technology beyond our wildest dreams, we realized our control of this planet through our intelligence. We are not strong like a lion or bear, we are not swift like a cheetah, we cannot fly, we cannot swim, yet we adapt and overcome, and through our large brains, the ones we sacrificed so much for, we tamed the wilds and the world.
yet we put ourselves down for our own benifit. we are selfish in nature, it is a survival tactic, yet the advent of things like money and societal power allowed some to rise to the very top, leaving those at the bottom to rot. we are all the same--insignificant apes that happened to be smarter than animals, and we now rule the world. money is nothing more than pieces of metal and paper we gave meaning to, and that meaning has come to corrupt many in their eternal pursuit of power. some humans are rotted to the core, stacking billions upon billions while their workers make a wage they can barely live off of. we are selfish creatures, but the concepts we create corrupt us, turning us into monsters in the pursuit of power.
i only feel contempt for the society we have created, the society we have built for so long. humanity is corrupt, if we deny basic needs to others because of their lack of a resource we made up, the denier is corrupt. when someone in a is undressed by AI for one's own pleasure, and the person who had their photo undressed is rightully angry, they are blamed for posting the photo online. the violene of man, it is an indescribable feeling to only be able to watch, because it's the rot of the poeple at the top that keeps this rusted system running.
we are apes, intelligent apes. we used our intelligence to tame fire, to create the wheel, we did all that we wished to to move the species along. yet in the end, we are selfish apes, that is our nature.
i cannot deny that my misanthropy is likely from this same, selfish nature we all share. watching humanity pit itself against eachoter while the world burns around us, I cannot help but feel a lingering sense of dread and grief at the sight. I am not above humanity, i myself am human in the end. i still watch as we slaughter ourselves due to our differences, we farm those we percive as lower life, often in horrid conditions, et cetera et cetera. we created religion as a way of control, while i can accept someone for their beliefs as long as they do not go to the point of hatred, the system of religion is what i hate of it. it was designed to control, a way to keep people in line, but I shall save my full views on religion for another time.
either way, we are inherently flawed creatures. we scar mother earth for the resources within her, we pump the air full of gases that trap heat, we do so much for power, for a legacy that will live on for us. we are flawed creatues, deeply flawed creatures.
I know this may have started out as just me being a nerd, but I needed to get that off my chest. The last time i tried that, i was accused of using AI to write my own thoughts, though it was probably nothing more than ragebait.
