@RickiTarr Let's just shed this shell and crawl back into the primordial soup. Down with organs! Back to single cell society! If you're anything more than a chain of amino acids, you're doing life wrong!

@SeekingDuck @RickiTarr Actually, that seems increasingly attractive.

@msbellows I personally think you've hit on EXACTLY why this kind of reactionary thinking is so popular.

Hope in the future right now is incredibly bleak. People don't look at 10 years ahead and wonder what's possible. They look 10 years ahead fear what's possible.

So thinking like "all of this was a mistake" gets very common.

I think that already happened, or is well under way, with a certain faction of our political leaders.

@RickiTarr @SeekingDuck I mean, I'm already sitting here regretting crawling out of bed. It's unthinkable to me that my remote ancestors were foolish enough to crawl out of the primordial swamp.

@RickiTarr @msbellows @SeekingDuck You know what life is? A cold, brutal killing-machine, which sucks out our souls, before grinding up our flesh, and bones, and spewing them into the bowels of Hell.

The tide recedes, exposing a lone sea slug draped enticingly across a dry rock, a single strand of glistening kelp accentuating rather than concealing her lack of curves. "Damn, she's hawt!" thinks my direct ancestor, painfully extending pseudopods and beginning the slow, arduous struggle to land.

Seeing a perfect, juicy-ripe Maloideae megafruit lying nestled in the grass where it rolled after falling, a female Australopithecus anamensis climbs down from her safe tree and ventures a few yards onto the dangerous savannah. "Damn, she's hawt!" thinks my direct ancestor, seeing her usually-scanty buttocks clench and swell roundly as she struggles to stand bipedally upright. He too leaves the safety of the trees and joins her on the plain where someday soil-depleting grain crops and unjustly hierarchical cities will flourish. #WhereItAllWentWrong
