Humanity is great. We get it, it's not just us boasting our huge egos. We've done things that NOTHING on Earth has ever come close to doing. In fact, our technology 5,000 years ago was better than that of anything that has ever existed on Earth. Truth.
With that said, we must be pretty smart right?
Ability to pinpoint extremely farfetched, yet true, theories. Pretty smart.
Ability to create sources of energy using the very fabric of the universe itself? Pretty fucking smart.
Having hundreds of languages, alphabets, cultures, dialects and so on, we gotta be pretty fucking smart. It's not so much that we understand it, we can teach other life forms our own languages. That's fucking amazing.
Now, we're pretty damn smart. ...right?
No, as a whole we're smart but individually we're dumb as shit. I've yet to see a truly smart person, in person. Now I'm not going to go out of my way to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, or any of these main-line geniuses nor count them. However, if I were to meet someone, in person, that was truly smart and shared my ideology, I'd start to have faith in the human race.
We're killing ourselves. We're slowly, ever so slowly, killed ourselves. I don't mean in the '60s generics of war is going to destroy us, blah blah blah. I mean we're going to end up exterminating ourselves out of sheer stupidity. Try having a genuine, intelligent conversation with someone and take the obvious winning side. At the end, they'll start whining and bitching about how you're an idiot because you're winning.
The same thing goes for anything else. I've picked a few internet fights, only because I knew I was right. It wasn't so much of a, "The sun rotates at exactly this degree, giving us this amount of light per...," it was a "2+2=4" argument half the time. I've been called an idiot, despite the fact of being right, on so many times it's ridiculous. I don't just mean I think I'm right either, I know I'm right. I'm not stupid. I'll admit that I'm wrong, I have no shame in that. Unlike the other 6.9 billion people that I am forced to share my air with. That, I am ashamed of.
Now, I know that not everyone is stupid. 7 billion people, not every single one of them can't be stupid right? Right. There's about 100 Million credible human beings on this planet, I'm not one of them. There's about 1 billion smart human beings on this planet, I'm one of them for sure.
Why, that's quite an egotistical thing of you to say.
I'm undereducated, yet intelligent. I'm the type of person that does not misuse need nor legitimate, nor literally. I don't say I need $5 for a bean burrito with cheese for my lunch when I could pack my own damn lunch for the day. I don't say someone is legitimate because they can do a trick on a skateboard. I don't do any of these dumbassed douchebaggery Humanity should be ashamed of.
There's a fine line between having fun and being a disgrace. Unless if it's perfectly fine if I disgrace my entire family name as long as I have fun right?
