death is certain
keep yr cool
we're all going to die

ironically our ability to adapt will be our undoing

we pull away cards one at a time, dumping plastics into the ocean, creating a greenhouse effect, deforestation... the list goes on.

so fast do we improve our lives that nothing else can even remotely keep up with us.

when the coral dies, there will be no place for the shellfish to live, but we'll have killed all the fish. there will be so many vacuums that when we pull that final card, the one that sends us over the edge.

the vacuum will fill suddenly and our society will collapse instantly.

a few will remain, vagrant victims of our hubris.

these men will build the world again, it will not be the same. the 8th generation of the planet is waiting for your children. they will rise, smart enough to survive in the ashes we have left for them to roam in.

their tragic children will know us as fools as they repeat our mistakes.

we are a glitch.

at some point one creature will run amok. that is the natural order of it. they fill the niche that nothing else can and then monopolize that system... the dinosaurs did it. every generation of earth had one like it. it made oxygen. it made oil. every mass extinction is the groundwork of another more powerful species.

but they weren't supposed to be self aware. that was the issue. we have to halves to our brain, we have language, we can talk to ourselves. it allows for self reflection. but it's two halves of the same self. its an insular, closed conversation. an infinite loop that changes only when prodded slightly from the outside. we think we change, but we don't... one of our two selves won the argument.

thats not part of the programming. that wasn't supposed to happen. language is hosed up, it broke us. we will destroy the planet because we can share informatino faster than anyone else, because we think we can self reflect, we are utterly uncaring of any consequences we can see. if we were truly intelligent, we would learn. no, we are stupid bioligcal impulses that gently caress and scream and eat until we die.

its going to be loving beautiful. we are more kick rear end than the dinosaurs. we would be gods to those stupid loving shitlizards. we're going to be nothing nobodies the children of the future fantasize about. we will be in whatever is equivalent to their books as these dominant alpha fucks that couldn't even learn to survive a heatwave.

we are the next step to a godhood we will never see or comprehend, and we will be remembered as a footnote to their rightful place in history.

and these gods too shall be a blip in time.

no, this is the end. it may not look like it, but it's all downhill from here.

one may think its trump, but it was just our stupid brokebrains. we fight over things that glimmer because we want to put it on our fingers. to say, yes, i can throw a life away. that is why i have this ring.

that's it, isn't it? we're all powerthirsty. to be able to say you can throw human life at your minor inconveniences, your luxuries, it lets us live a little bit longer, it makes the chemicals in our brain fire off. we're loving machines, sex good, shiny good, sugar good. the longer we can do all those things... thats just in our dna.

how about this, what if we were fair?

i know, it sounds stupid. what if we collectively said, everyone who has everything has a little bit less to ensure everyone gets a minimum amount of dopamine for a minimum amount of time. that's the social contract we're really after, isn't it? we all want that. we just want to feel good for as long as possible. some of us risk losing the chance of it... that's what scares us. we don't take from the masters because of some philosophical reason.

no, not at all....

good isn't real.

my god, we're all just jealous.

all of this, it's loving meaningless. it's just a bunch of chemicals and we want to take a little more chemicals from the people that have more of them.

that's what it's all about.

that's what it comes down to.

everything is just a bunch of stupid loving chemicals and life is about maximizing them. that's it. we're stupid pieces of trash.

really, can you blame the poor? the ones that wish to rob the rich? they want the chemicals they all get.

sex, food, drugs, entertainment. it's all about maximization. suffer now for good later. enjoy life, love your neighbor, love yourself. go eat a cheeseburger because we're all gonna die.
