And they continue to forget it's all a numbers game and we outnumber them by a magnitude. Tl'dr they're fucked.

    But that's where complacency and escapism becomes a large tool against the numbers. Its much too hard to get up and revolt when their favorite show is going to be on at 8 or X streaming service got a new movie. Only a fraction get up to protest when the rest sit back back and mumble under their breaths to their screens.

    We need a major fuckup to get them off their couches, you know, something like policing the internet, or crashing the market and causing disgusting inflation rates. Oh wait. Its a shame that we've waited until things got this bad.

    People are the worst. Agriculture was a mistake. If I have a time machine I'd go back and kick that fucker tiktaalik back into the ocean.

    I'm sure you're joking, but actually I'm reading a very interesting book about this topic called "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity."

    It's really concerned with freedom, and disputes the idea that the lack thereof is inherently tied to agriculture.
