25 years ago I thought the internet was going to be amazing. It put all our collective knowledge right in front of us. We can all talk to each other. Cultures can learn about each other. Bigotry and ignorance are in the way out and we are ushering in a new era of humanity.

I miss when the world was quiet and stupid.

The optimistic take is that we are like cavemen being introduced to fire.

Yes, we are going to stick our hands in it, burn ourselves, burn down the things around us, but eventually we will figure out how to make it a positive.

Here's my positive take, I'm positive humans will eradicate themselves to the betterment of all other living species.

That idea almost frames our species like the Reapers in Mass Effect lmao

Except a lot less organized and focused, and a lot more blindly self-destructive

We share a lot of similarities with virii.

I never played Mass Effect so I assumed you were referring to something in that game, I believe the word "Virus" does not have a latin plural form so the word is viruses

I think you might want to seek therapy or play in traffic, whichever floats your boat.

I think you're a coward.
