  • I had a friend who thought the big bang was what wiped out the dinosaurs…I gave her the most concise general history lesson from the big bang, photon decoupling, creation of hydrogen, abiogenesis, speciation, humankind, and civilization up to now. I’m no fancy pants smarty Mcgee but it literally hurts me when I see such large gaps of knowledge about the universe and our place in it yet they sure as shit know the hottest sneakers on the market.










  • I can very much so see your point and have shared similar sentiments but I have to disagree with you. If you look at trends in humanity I honestly feel we collaborate and work together much more than we destroy, even if destruction and looking out for self gets more attention.

    There would be no one to take advantage of if we weren’t more often than not working together for common goals and interests. Those that take advantage of the rest of us are the minority, but again, they are vocal and usually in positions of power.

    You have excellent points and are speaking truth, but I just see it differently.


  • That is a very western, independent cultural paradigm you have there. Western culture and values are not shared by everyone in the west let alone all humanity.

    Only a few of us have strong narcissistic and anti-social personality traits, but they are vocal and usually end up in positions of power.

    I would argue the vast majority of humanity throughout history is more selfless and willing to sacrifice and work towards a goal than you give us credit for. Look at the big picture and think about how much innovation has come from a place not driven by profit potential but for THE potential to go further.
