> waste time on morons we were all idiots once, and still all are to one and another in ways that none of us notice because no one can a be a master and expert of all. and i think a big problem is a more 'nurture' side of things, rather than a "people are born and genetically predetermined by their god-given genome to be slaves to be abused and used" 'nature' type of problem here. if we literally weren't being dumbed down and environmentally poisoned by corporations and governments doing their day to day for decades ("we need to use plastics in all food packaging, it's cheaper, we need to put iq reducing fluoride int he water, ect." type of poisoning and health-destroying death by a thousand cuts) people would have the better hardware to not be unthinkingly docile and servile, and there's also the social engineering aspect of the 'nurture', where most people are consumers who culturally and societally ingrained that they can't or shouldn't really think for themselves in any creative or self-expressive way that isn't a pre-approved outlet or one meant to make money. idk, i'm just feeling like being the nail that sticks out or the person that makes a little effort here, that maybe no-one will see or appreciate, will in some ways (and maybe it's so inconsequently it won't even be read, seen, replied too, or have any effect on anything at all) change things just slightly for the better. kinda feeling really good lately though, but bad too; a little dr. jekyll and mr. hyde right now, so in some ways this is a little cathartic "be the change you want to see" thing while cleaning the lab after throwing a bunch of equipment off the roof and around the room.
