 Today I am feeling decidely misanthropic. My patience with my fellow human beings seems to have run dry.

Sick of them.

Sick of idiots.

Sick of uncaring bullshit.

Sick of herp a fucking derping around ignorantly doing shit and causing damage along the way.

I have come to the horrible conclusion that yeah, as a species, we are literally that fucking stupid.

One of the many straws today was a general consensus being :

Money solves all problems.

Not many. Not some. But all.

About as idiotic a statement as you can get. But. By jingo. The bulk of the consensus was that this was completely correct.

I pointed out that was demonstrably not true. You cannot buy health. Or youth. Or trust. Or love. Or inner contentment. Peace. Mental stability. No amount of money reverses a terminal decline. Or old age. If it did. Evil shitbags like Murdoch would kick around forever as a healthy 21 year old.

But apparently I was wrong. You are wrong. Money solves all problems.

Spoken like a truly fucking idiotic 25 year old whos only current experience and problem is not having enough money to do as they please every day. Not enough world experience to realise that money is just one facet, one need, one piece of maslowes hierarchy. Stupid. Fucking. People.

At such times you realise just how fucking unwise the bulk of humanity is. They don't learn from history. They don't read what former great minds had pondered and found. They have no time for wisdom from those long dead. Fuck that. Life only revolves around the now and the last 5 years. As miserable and superior of me it is to say, people are like fucking cattle. Moo. I'm pretty sure I'm not that stupid. I don't think so. Perhaps I am stupid. At some objective level I probably am pretty stupid. But if I'm stupid, then people in general are fucking beyond all reason stupid. Imbeciles. Relatively speaking. I must be like a fucking bright light in a drawer full of dead bulbs. We don't deserve dominion over this planet. We're too stupid to continue. And I dare say our wonderfully inept and wilful ignorance towards stopping extinction level climate change will probably do for us in the end. A fitting epitaph to our time on Earth.

Could have solved the problem. Could have saved themselves. Chose not to. For demented reasons about imaginary wealth. And singular inability to learn from past mistakes.

Amazing.

Also. Perhaps it's just the mood I am in. I have dwelled on that conversation with my brother about everything. My sister. Everything. I should not have had it. I think I have wound myself up about it. To me you sacrifice yourself before others. Not sacrifice others for yourself. And it's a hard line for me. That will never not be the case. I suppose I like to think the best of people. And I never really delve into whether others do that. But when I do find out. I recoil. I find it to be the root seed of all evil. That small selfish drive. The drive that instils you to take the food first. To turn away from those in need. To stand on someone elses head. It's the small seed that flowers into so many horrible things.

Meh. It's just my mood. I have run out of patience again. Tolerance flatlines. And I find failings I suddenly can't live with. In a way. It should be that way. To correct the shittiness of the world. But understanding and acceptance of those flaws leads you to simply live and let live. Gently correct. Perhaps that's the mistake.

Always the age old question. Carrot or stick. Re-educate. Or stamp out. Co-exist. Or exterminate.

Today is clearly a bloody knuckled stick kind of day. Unusual for me.

I don't know. I think finally my last straw has broken though. I find I have no faith in humanity at all anymore. Sure there are all sorts of people out there. Smart. Dumb. Quick. Slow. Wise. Foolish. Caring. Selfish. But the bulk of us all. Our common average. Add all of us up. And divide by the number. And you get a painfully inept idiotic mean spirited result. I find that I have no faith in us. We will derp along, incapable of learning even the things we can grasp and have already found, if they are older than 5 minutes in age. Doomed to repeat the mistakes you refuse to learn from. And very soon. It's finally going to catch up to us. And snuff us out.

Of snuffing out. Read a thing in the news today. Studies have shown that in 70 years catastrophic environment collapse of the UKs forests is on the cards. Wipe out. There are things we can do now to try and head it off. But. It's a grim forecast. And the worse forecast - it's already happening in Europe. Perhaps then that is a decent timer on it all. 70 years. In 70 years the end will be well under way if not already here.

Of course. Things could change. If drastic measures are taken.

I don't see that happening though.

Last year was the highest CO2 output in history. Not going down. Not even stopping. Continuing to get worse. Even in the face of an already dire unavoidable rise of 1.5C globally. We will soon be on for a "catastrophic" 2C globally.

Eh well.

I wont be around to see it.

And it's an example of the dim witted fuckbaggery that I am talking about.

In the end. Karma is a bitch.

In this case we get what we deserve.

Why can't we find any intelligent life in the universe ? Ignoring the size of it. And the limitation of signals. And the sheer time of it all. It's also probably because if they're anything like us, they just wipe themselves out in a fit of arrogance. No. I wont stop mass producing crap. I'd rather die.

As you like.

Perhaps the worst of all fates. Of all of us idiotic creatures. Is to be just less idiotic enough to perceive how fucking idiotic it all is, and not be able to do anything about it. The slightly less stupid person on the bus realising that we're all going over a cliff. In many ways. It would probably be a far happier experience to be hardcore stupid. And just enjoy singing along at the back of the bus completely oblivious to the fact you are all about to die.

Meh.

Humans. Primitive species. Change my mind.

Also fuck being smart enough to figure stuff out. A different kind of stupid. Still stupid. But also frustrated. And unhappy. Congratulations. You played yourself.
