Oh, yeah. We definitely keep trying to break the cycle, else we’ll all be extinguished at some point. It won’t be broken in the near future, but over many generations of each doing their part, it will eventually evolve into something better; the old perks of the species no longer relevant or needed, eventually evolved out.
Whether or not we can survive ourselves in the meantime is a whole new hurdle in our path.

I’ve realised, over time, that we got to be species number 1 through near statistically impossible odds that is only achievable by being the most brutally effective in the game of evolution.
And millions of years of nature doesn’t just go away when you’re declared the winner. It is in our nature to dominate through all means possible, else we wouldn’t be here. It’s not so much that we want war, we need it; our nature is founded on it. When there is nothing left on the planet to defeat, we turn on ourselves to scratch the itch.
The catch is the other half of our nature is focused on domination of the species. We protect each other for the greater good as much as we kill for the greater good. That’s our human nature; that’s how we got here. So after a war we feel awful and promise to never do it again, but then the itch of being number 1 reappears and there’s nothing else to scratch it with because we conquered everything else.
Our known history affirms that the end-game of evolution is a never ending cycle of masturbating to awful shit, feeling ashamed, and just doing it again once the shame is overridden by the urge. “Never again” we say, every fucking time.
Edit: That’s why I also love the self-proclaimed “lefties” camp always misappropriating the philosophical Paradox of Tolerance on here—like it’s not misappropriately used by the other camps. Ironically all just proving the paradox true. Camp vs camp. Tribe vs tribe. The itches and scratches, Oblivious to human nature doing as it does best. To progress is to win by all means possible. This is our way.
Edit Edit: And no I’m not picking on you kids specifically. Look at Tall Poppy Syndrome, Soapboxes, why communism never works, why capitalism never works; all the other ideologies we think up to break the cycle and try fast forward our evolution in vain. They all end with with someone or something taking power for a brief moment, before they’re targetted to be cut down by the nature of others trying to instill their idea, how they want it, how they insist all others will want and should have it. Power.
“Don’t piss before your pants are down.”
Acumen usually taught to small businesses, but every now and then…
This whole thing has been excellent for countries with public healthcare systems under threat of the private sector trying to crack the armour. It sends a message to political careers, when the centre of the world’s capitalism clearly hates their current setup. It underscores to the most selfish of politicians that public support is more valuable than whatever form of “lobbying” deal a private company may bring to the table they don’t fundamentally belong at.
Don’t forget the “People suffering get attention so, IM SUFFERING!!!” group.
Morrocans don’t count as anything in Europe.
I’ve never heard “dog in this fight” before; what the fuck and it’s normal??
But they were the first to have a bakery attached.
There needs to be a term for someone that ignores everything like a sieve, but manages to catch the smallest of morsels off which to launch a fallacious diatribe, as though nothing else happened.
They’re not.a.troll; they’re something quite different. A mix of insecurity, hyperfocusing, a tendency to exercise many argument fallacies, a resolve that can deny itself, no clear purpose in its behaviour beyond either “winning” or perhaps just seeking social interaction.
I’d go with “Teflon” because nothing sticks, but it doesn’t cover their wannabe polemicist nature.
And that’s how disinformation killed the Information Age.
Edit: Come on. You lot shouldn’t need my help finding a verifiable source yourselves. If there’s so many articles on it, I’m sure you can find at least one verifying the source without my help. Or you can subscribe to an ad populum fallacy and believe a mass of articles presenting no actual evidence. You’ll find the answers to the questions you ask me with your own initiative. I believe in you!
This is why she’s been spending a heap of time over at her friend’s house these past 9 months, Jo.
But, wait! There’s more…
her lawyer argued she should not have to serve prison time because her “creative side is coming back out now,” adding that she volunteers at a local art center and is working on an album.
That’s like having sympathy to the fall of Eagle’s Nest. Your humanity has ironically lost its way, lest you are in support of thousands murdered technically unfortunately dead with no recourse or solution to stop the killings.
I thought this image had already been vehemently claimed as not the guy, in order to stop putting this guy at risk.
Internet must stop chasing updoots as a priority over chasing the right information.
Our species’ weakest are inexplicably scared of everything. It might’ve been a useful trait at times in the forgotten past, but we’ve evolved a lot.
It’s one of those traits reserved for “persons of special consideration”, if you know what I mean.
Oddly, that works in negatively for me.
It’s all Linux, Star Trek, and extremely niche porn categories.
There are many buttons on my microwave. I have paid no attention to any of them but I know hitting the one at the bottom-right makes numbers go up by 30s per boop, while food go warm.
My microwave popcorn recipe is:
Oooooh…
Sometimes my piss smells like sugar, but it often smells like a lot of things. Usually piss. Sometimes asparagus.
Always look on the bright side of life 😙🎵
