The People that need to hear it aren't listening. Me, I'm trying to do my part. I think my own personal set of genes suck.

Too many people are living in a tribal state and think they need to keep the breeding up for God/Village/Resources.

I could do with some more reproductive practice though.

We are a species caught in an arc of psychotic dementia: short-term pleasure seems a fair trade for medium-term annihilation.
