Here is some loose paranoid ramblings about humanity. the origin of this thought can be accessed in the 13/04/2024 journal entry.

I feel as if humanity is inherently self-destructive, or at least, nature is. our mentality, our thought processes, our instincts, it all seems conflicting. nature wants to expand as far as it can and continue to exist, much like humans. As a species, we have an instinct to keep moving forward, but we also cling to traditions. we want to comfort our fellow man, but we also punish groups that do not think like another group, dividing ourselves. cultural deviation feels like the root of all separatism. we all split off and adapted to different ways of life and different ways of thinking, and now we all believe our group is right and the others are typically dehumanized. we cripple ourselves with our lust for ego and power, and we don't usually fix problems unless it hits us right in our face.

we once used to trade objects for objects, but then we wanted specific things from other people whose interests didn't align, so we innovated and used rare metals as a go-between due to their worth, which would be realized and exchanged with other people for things they needed but they did not want to trade for. then we got greedy, we pushed our innovation past convenience. we started securing people's gold and keeping it safe from others, but then greed greased our intentions and slipped the idea towards maximizing engagement and power, lending out other people's money, and keeping records of customers so they still technically had money. then nobody could all get their money back at the same time and everyone would have been played. the general distrust of our fellow man leads us to lead our institutions with a pragmatism spearheaded by the unforgiving nature of spite and untrustworthiness.

then our institutions to make our lives easier and make trade radically decentralized left us enslaved and subjugated by a world dictated by the human desire to maximize efficiency and gain power, which is accessed through money. the average person doesn't care that much because the majority of our governments satisfy our needs and wants. we work our hours, cherish our families, and stimulate our brains with human desires ranging from everything from appeasing our sexual lusts to our distracting fixations of entertainment. we play video games, we fester in our communities about our favorite TV shows, and we are hooked on the applications of the internet, enacting behavioral sync and leaving us uninterested in what the upper echelons of our governments are doing.

It's only human nature to keep people below you in line and appeased, and it is human nature to indulge in the many joys of life, big or small. but it feels as if we have never really been interested in investing perpetual interest in our self-acknowledged and inherent divisive flaws. we choose to reside in our groups of people that for the most part act like us. id reckon even if our quality of life stayed the same, nobody would like to have their culture replaced by someone else. it would be like if one nation promised another nation utopian levels of living quality as long as they dismantled their culture in favor of another, or vice versa. nobody likes being dictated by a group they can't relate to, and almost everyone will feel slighted for feeling as if they bowed to the victor. but if we zoom out and look at this from the outside, both nations are just the same humans all across the world, but just divided by their environment and historical tradition. most of this paranoid human thought process momentarily melts away when you just look at an image of our lonely blue marble.

we would be working together as a unified people if we dropped the stigma that has seeped through our cultural divisions. we should look past our historic squabbles, and realize who we are. we are humans, we are humanity, we have done so much on this little rock, and we can do more than we can ever imagine if we put our differences aside and work together. but the way I see it I don't think we will ever forge a mutual and sturdy bond of tolerance and cooperation. humans are inherently divisive as previously mentioned and given the chance in times of crisis or doubt it would not be out of the question for people to split away and slump back to our little slice of earth.

I am no genius, I am no philosopher, I am not a special individual. my thoughts are not unique when compared to many of the 8 billion humans on this planet as of writing, and if it wasn't for the inherent lust of ego in humans maybe we would indulge in this message and find unity through compromise. but as of today while the world has been more united than it ever has in human history there is still an exhausting path towards unification. we will not last forever, nothing does, but we should look past the division and realize the greater good of unity. perhaps one day we will be united.
