“No, it's not 'normal' for humans to be in competition all the time. It's not normal to work for most of your waking hours during the day. It's not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that's just how being human is. It's not.” —Hilary Agro, PhD (anthropologist & community organizer)

Ahh, well maybe lead with this isn't what I believe rather than a strong statement lol.

Anyways yes what you said is a correct assessment of where we are, but not where we have to be.

All I'm saying is society has devalued and dehumanized itself.
