On the path to self-destruction [1]

Watching the world today, one might come to believe that the evolution of the human race was an aberration. Our supposed higher intellect has set us on a path of self-destruction.

We cut the very trees that produce the air we breathe, air without which we cannot survive for more than a couple of minutes. We pollute the water we drink, again water without which we cannot survive for more than a couple of days, but we somehow think we are the most intelligent species on the planet. What a joke.

We’ve given up the very idea of enjoying life, to the point where our lives are centered around work, to the point where we do not raise children to enjoy life but to enter the work force, we kill in them anything that does not contribute to them making money. Art? What’s that?

Today we’ve reached a point where robots will soon take over most of the ‘work’ and then what? Once the robots do the work, and the humans aren’t taken care of because the governments will not take care of the people that’s socialism don’t you know… then what?

The irony is, that once you replace the workers with robots but don’t take care of the people, what good are the robots? Who will be buying the stuff the robots make? Are we really evolving at all? Seems to me like we’re devolving. We’re becoming useless.

So tell me why in a world where people’s lives seem to be the most disposable commodity, why are we asking people to have more children? To what purpose? We don’t need them as workers, we don’t take care of them to have them as consumers, so what is the purpose of having more people on this earth?

I still can’t get over people rebelling against a mask that was to protect themselves and their children from a deadly virus, watching their loved ones die and still refuse to try simple gestures to save as many as possible, because ? I have no idea why. I just can’t understand this kind of thinking. It’s like going deep sea diving without oxygen in order to “own the libs”.

I keep hearing people want to save the planet, the planet doesn’t need saving, the planet will exist with or without humans, with or without air, with or without water, the planet will continue to exist at least as long as the sun does. Stop trying to save the planet, start trying to save humanity, humanity once restored will take care of the planet.

I’m tired people. I want to shake people, scramble their brains a bit maybe that will get them to change their way of thinking. The species I understand the least is my own. Well at least anyone over the age of 16. I remember an old movie where all the adults just died off… anyways.
