6 billion ants
I sit here thinking about how we’re in this giant universe again. I watch everyone slowly but surely end their lives and doing the tasks survival requires. I get the impression that I’m supposed to follow but you see after noticing it and realizing why the whole thing seems like a joke. I mean what am I supposed to do, continue being a human? Well I guess I don’t have much of a choice with that but that doesn’t mean I have to do the things “regular” humans do. Or do I? Maybe I’d end up on the streets if I didn’t, maybe I wouldn’t.
You know the average human is very ignorant. Infact they’re so ignorant that they’re ignorant of it. It’s a paradox of ignorance. I see a neighbor drive home, drives up, parks his car, brings the dog out and is playing with it, while I sit here from my window with my cat trying to fix the screen on my window. As they drive up I notice they slow down as if they’re looking at me with the cat (who was on the windowsill) and then they park and proceed to play with the dog or what not. I have no idea if it was intentional or not but considering in the past I’ve known people who’d do things like that to try and compete or compare or whatever the fuck. Oh well, dogs are stupid anyway. They’re followers, like your average human is. Man’s best friend indeed.
I can’t anymore consider humans intelligent, though we’re supposed to be, but why? Surviving efficiently is intelligence. Humans are very inefficient at surviving so why do we consider ourselves so smart? Oh wow, we can make tools and stockpile our food and all this stuff, and we learned to care. Why care? It’s just more of a burden on survival. Plus we waste resources trying to try save those who are going to die anyway. That’s on top of all the resources we waste from other things. I bet I sound like Hitler or something. Oh yes kill the weak blah blah. I’m not saying we should go do that, evolution has made us differently so we care for our weak and try to make them strong. Either way has a downside so why do either? Why not put efficiency in front of quantity? Nah, capitalism would hate you then. Quantity over quality is the key thing. Especially when it comes to money. Maybe I’m confused. Maybe not. Maybe I’ve lost all hope.
