For real, I thought I knew this, I thought I was aware of the problem, then when covid hit I had an actual mental breakdown realizing just how bad it actually is, how the number of people who have cognitive thoughts is actually a slim, slim margin of the population and how “stuck” we are as a species. Most people with a few brain cells have no idea how bad it really is, and the rest are too stupid to care.
What’s worse is we’ve taken ourselves out of selective processes for improvement. We will never, ever get smarter or fix this because it offers our species no advantages to do so.
We will never have the stars. I mourned that fact. Not in my lifetime, not a thousand years after me. If anyone leaves our speck in space, it won’t be us, it will be some descendant species that we created or changed into over time.
I am saving this, it’s very well said.
