>>95228205Good? Good? Is that supposed to be some sort of a joke?
We're monsters.
The very notion that we're somehow capable of being good or even creating good isn't even obscene, it's downright laughable.
Deep down in places that we don't even like to admit to ourselves exist, we all know the irrefutable and inescapable fact of the human condition - that evil is more primary than good.
>inb4 m-muh edgy teenager Look at the evolutionary history of the entire planet and there isn't a single species, sentient or otherwise, that even comes close to the things we do to ourselves. Mankind's inhumanity to mankind is profoundly embedded in our very makeup that our base instinct is to destroy rather than to create, to kill rather to save.
For every act of compassion, we've done worse a dozen times over. For every 5th Symphony, a genocide. For every Mona Lisa, a famine. For every Sistine Chapel, a war. For every food parcel, a bomb. For every blanket, a chemical attack. Jesus fucking Christ, we design weapons specifically intended to slaughter as many of ourselves as possible in the most horrendous way imaginable. We poison and destroy the very Earth that provides and nourishes us just so that the people we hate can't benefit from her gifts.
And that's before we even get to the commonalities like murder, theft, slavery and every other monstrosity we've fabricated.
In our constant struggle for self-preservation, hardly ever do we stop and actually ask ourselves the hard question of whether we merit survival.
Maybe I'll just summarize with a brief pop culture reference.
Ripley in Aliens: "I don't know which species is worse - you don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage."
