Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?

  I don’t know what to say, get implants or something. I think humans were a mistake, and maybe something better will replace us.

  Maybe scientists will accidentally make life that is smarter than us, healthier than us, and more ethical than us. I just hope this wretched species does not go on forever, because I don’t want anyone else to suffer like this after we are all gone.

    Would if I could. Implants would be far too expensive for me.

    I agree that humanity is most likely a mistake. What have we done that’s so great that warrants our continued, independent and unchecked existence?

    Yeah, we’ve done some cool stuff, like making big buildings, and technology… But I can’t think of anything humanity has done that benefited anyone other than us. We are the benefactors of everything we do. No matter how much we to to do for nature, it’s only mitigating the damage we have caused, at best. We are a disaster for the Earth and for nature.

    If we were to stop existing, the plants and animals would take back the land, slowly but surely, and almost everything that made us special or unique would erode away. Our entire history would be lost to time, and nobody would care in the slightest.

    Our existence is nonsense and pointless beyond whatever purpose we assign to ourselves.

    I realized this many years ago, in my early 20s. Since then I’ve been working to make others happy, since I don’t really have any goals of my own.

    But is it really ordinary humans that is the problem? At least in my life, almost all people i meet have good in them. But watching the horrors we call leaders, of both corporations and the world, is ridiculously sad.

    Maybe we just need to switch our focus away from those people that are put in our face and focus on eachother instead.

      Yes, the ordinary person is what enabled the world to be where it is. It does not even have to be the majority of people, just a few bad apples are enough.

      And we will always circle back to Dystopia, unless we straight up start implanting chips into people, modifying them genetically, or some other species takes over.

      Because I really don’t see how we are viable as we are. I’m not willing to advocate straight up negative eugenics either, so fuck it.

        How did ordinary people enable it? Because I feel we have absolutely no power to affect anything.

        Maybe you mean day to day actions like putting ourselves first and ignore strangers.
