i'm an optimist.. so i do have that sliver of hope.. humanity as a whole is terrible. i often quote Men In Black when agent K told J, A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals".
There might be something to be said about us being safer that most any previous generation/era/epoch
Like, by a long shot
And we have lots of fight/flight tools in our toolbox we no longer need to utilize very much
So instead of being legit fearful of tigers or invading tribes or weather destroying our entire crops; we become fearful of communism or drag queens or melanin
It’s stupid as heck but I guess I get it
