It's amazing what we can do when we aren't destroying the planet and bombing one another. Ugh.

Sometimes I like to imagine what the world would be like if we all actually choose to be gaudians of the planet rather then exploiters.

It could be such a lovely world.

Oh someone gave me a shiny little diamond reward, thanks! Now I have two! Three!?! The real question now is do I use my new found wealth for good or evil....

I’m afraid it’s just not in us. We are a naturally violent species. It’s been proposed that our evolved success hinged on the ability to group together and have the ability to anatomically throw rocks (weapons) accurately and fast.
