Ridiculous things modern human do.

When you think about it we’re as culturally ‘primitive’ as ever

by Anonymousreply 105March 31, 2023 2:39 AM

It's really odd that mammals, humans included, have to murder and eat other living beings to survive.

If there is a God, and I doubt it, he was one sick fuck to think of that mess. Couldn't we all just eat plants?

Not to worry, the younger generations will deconstruct all of this ridiculous nonsense that old people have perpetuated.

Then these young, all-knowing generational genii will reconstruct everything as a perfect civilization with the most perfectly thought out plans ever fantasized in a hashish haze. All hatred will be vanquished; the evil people will be punished by having their power and wealth redistributed to the historically downtrodden, and nonbinary love will rule for a thousand years. Nirvana will finally be achieved by these most brilliant of minds. It will be...the Age of Aquarius.

A society that makes many members of its community travel to one place at the SAME TIME to work, and then have all those same people LEAVE at the same time, and then spend those hours forever in a rage that other people exist on the planet and are doing the same thing, thereby creating huge backlogs and traffic jams.

Addendum A to above: Spend significant amounts of money earned at said job to pay for the contraption that takes us to and from that workplace, rendering one's pockets too depleted to pursue other activities.

Addendum B to above: Spending as much money as we possibly can, often going into debt, for the largest POSSIBLE contraption to take us to and from said job, even if said job does not involve physical labor/construction and/or the transport of tools, thus incurring yet more cost and expense for the fuel and maintenance of said school bus-sized vehicle.

Addendum C to above: Selecting a place to live that is as far away from said workplace as is possible, thereby guaranteeing sadness, frustration and rage at the main argument as posted above.
