    Fair, but I don’t see people accomplishing much of anything other than enabling or rationalizing further rewarding the world’s most successful sociopaths at Earth’s ecosystem’s and the vast majority of other human’s expense, regardless of how they see the water in the glass.

    All I would be doing by pretending otherwise is maybe be personally happier until the next daily reminder of who we are and what we stand for. To me, there are no good options, but I’d rather stare down the horror in judgment than embody just another all too common symptom that those most responsible, who benefit most from humanity’s greed and gluttony disease, encourage all their victims to indulge in: willful ignorance.

      It’s hard to imagine how, in your pursuit of truth and knowledge, you’ve managed to ignore all the beautiful and unfathomable advancements humans have made in biology, mathematics, philosophy, music, art, literature, and any other topic you could possibly imagine. Instead, you’ve focused on the negative to excuse and reinforce your antisocial biases.

        Because of those advances, we know that negative experiences are promoted for memory retention and recall. Overcoming that neurobiological bias can be very challenging to some people, whether because of significance of experience, timing, or having neurodivergent brains that need a bit of help.
