Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct

  • Maybe humans will become extinct and the process will continue without us.

  • Outside pressures are often the driving forces of evolution, and affect everything engaged in a particular process. Dawkins talked about this, iirc.

    Anyway, observing a thing changes it. There will always be latent effects. Maybe it's not about individual learning, but collective learning, with a nod to Dawkins.

  • Maybe they are happy. The people I've met living that way seem miserable. That's really all karma is, cause and effect. We either learn or don't. I really believe that the kingdoms of heaven (and hell) are inside us. That doesn't necessarily equate to physical reality, eg, every need met can still leave people miserable, people who seemingly struggle manage to find peace, if not happiness, others who match their physical reality, often we slide among points on the spectrum of being.

    I don't see it as perfectly balanced or absolute equilibrium. I see it as more of a spiral hourglass that flips like the magnetic poles. But that's a whole other discussion and I need to develop that concept, as I just surprised myself with it. That's a sleepy thought.

  • Just because we don't see it or it doesn't look like we think it should doesn't mean it's not real. Imagine being shallow and wanting to marry for how it looks on the outside. Imagine 20 -30 years later realizing you're stuck in a companionless relationship, but refusing to end it because it makes sense on paper to keep it intact.

  • I feel it's necessary to point out a lot of these farmers are contacted to major brands, both food and pest control, who take the majority of profit, often leaving the farmers themselves without much.

  • A lot of "scrappers" will remove it for free or gas money, sort it and take it to recycle, fix and sell, etc. If they ask you to sign a receipt, do it because a lot of addicts will, too -- unasked.

  • Are red wasps, yellow jackets and whatever those black ones with green stripes? The red wasps are not as aggressive as yellow jackets. Not sure about the green on black ones, they've only shown themselves to me recently and I'm not trying to get close enough to fafo.

  • My state went "oopsie!" in the news a few times after deaths directly from mosquito spraying. Somehow all manner of wasps abound.
