God I loved humans and their different cultures and how they all created music, dance, art, song, clothes, food, and best of all, how they all combine after extended exposure to one another. Makes me cry a little fr

While I'm currently VERY disgusted/enraged with humanity. Humans are so cute 😭 we're really just goofy animals with opposable thumbs and bipedal physiology. Basic human fears of the unknown/randomness, herd mentality, primal fears and likes, our lil animal noises and gestures (clapping, laughing, etc) We just eusocial animals, just large bees or ants

But we fucked up on making religion and politics fr. It’s made the worst of us.

It’s our first time doing this too. We are learning and adapting and just driven by survival no more than any other creature—except for maybe horseshoe crabs or jellyfish. We just express it so violently and destructively 😭 the things that made war made ways to express love with the same hands😭

Politics is literally the religion of yesterday, back then religions made rules and groups, now it’s politics, the same disagreements and chaos, the same laws, the same justice, same peace if done right

Infact some religions that haven’t changed are more stable than a constitution, and if you think about it people use the constitution to justify and do like they did with the Bible. It’s worshipped the same way, the bill of rights, the founding fathers are basically angels atp

We’re confused and scared, and we use these things to curb them all the while they’re the things that perpetuate our fears still. Mostly bc of human nature making small groups of individuals thing their own drive for survival is more than everyone else, and the pleasure we get from having power over the things we once feared. Bad priests to bad politicians, they’re also thinking they’re doing this for the better. Which is wild, or bc they get something that is worth the harm done to others(sa)

they think is worth the harm to other*^ they get something that they want more than anything else, and will do it at any cost, bc the brains weird ass evolution and its biochemistry which produces chemicals that they reason with strangely. And it’s not like if we all were super intelligent that those problems wouldn’t exist, or that we’ll ever get rid of these effects, or if it’s even ethical to make everyone think and act the same. It’s a strange and complex conundrum.

its not blame. It’s radical acceptance that we all have a role to play in these things going wrong. I think the people who use those things to cause harm to others need to be harshly criticized and dissected. And part of that is that we realize the harm they’ve caused how they were able to do bc of these systems we created when we probably needed them. But do we need them at this point? At the cost we’ve been paying? I said the og point more from a oversimplification than a unthoughtful post

If you drop a frog into boiling water it would jump out, but if you put it in the water and slowly heat it, it won’t realize even when it’s boiling to death

Yeah it is really messed up, what the Epstein ring has done (and probably continues to do) to innocent babies ☹️ It is common in nature for animals to kill and/or even eat their offspring though (on some dark but natural shi) Filicide is unfortunately common tho (57% men v 43% women) (Men moreso tend to 💀 their kids when they grow up a bit and start really becoming human human, women moreso tend to 💀 their kids while in a severe postpartum state) which makes sense ig

I would not have blamed my mom if she'd 💀 me when I was a baby tbh. The medical negligence was insane, she was in a coma for days after the emergency C-Section, she then spiraled into severe postpartum depression which easily could've worsened into postpartum psychosis. Bc she was neglected and ignored w a screaming infant while recovering from giving birth, seriously almost dying, major surgery, AND postpartum depression. I ain't dealing with allat personally so I will not be having kids.

Quite the prideful assumption. I could be an AI bot. Just a series of digital text floating through the internet. Or worse… I could be some ethereal DMT spirit possessing a human body 😐✨ But you assume you’re right, and who am I to continue disagreeing with you when you’re satisfied with your conclusion.

You need to seriously ego/check yourself if you can't come to terms with the fact you're an animal 😭 I then encourage you to research various animal species to gain more respect for other species You're definitely not a DMT spirit, a DMT spirit would never say such things
