I am saving this, it’s very well said.

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.

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.
