    “whoever goes first is worse off.”

    I’m not saying its something our species would ever be willing to do, put the needs of the species over how do I get a better deal than other humans/what’s in it for ME?

    I’m saying its what we should be doing. Selfishness, at the end of the day, is the very reason we’re doomed by our own hands though.

    There is no long term eventuality where humanity survives AND continues to sanction greed, our most destructive, darkest impulse. At least someone who hurts others out of hatred cared about who they hurt and how they hurt them in some way. Insatiable greed treats its victims as nameless speed bumps to glorious acquisition.

    Someone taking more than they need in front of other humans should be treated with the same revulsion and consequences as pedophilia imho. Again, that won’t happen. We are doomed, after all.
