Oh, what an irony. What a tragic, fucking irony. Our adherent usage of schematic thinking-- labeling, classification, and exclusion-- seems entirely devoid of rational thought. It's animalistic, but entirely more so than actual animals.
If we're so elevated on a higher pulpit than the common organism, why are we so insistent on applying a bastardized form of Darwinism on ourselves? Racially based hate? Selective injustices? Selective breeding is a nature phenomena, as it serves a purpose of maintaining a good genetic pool-- the previous two are a sad exemplification of just how "morally conscious" we all are.
Bullshit.
I believe in the unspecified capacity of man to rise above our petty and animalistic selves. Difficult and seemingly impossible? You bet. However, with such capacity for higher thought and absolute moral-goodness, you'd think man would've crossed this ridiculous threshold years ago.
I'd like to think we're most than just animals. Entirely idealistic? Perhaps.
But hey, nothing like daily interactions to challenge your core beliefs!
