Nihilism. I’ve fully accepted that humans are definitely going extinct and I’m just along for the ride. It’s oddly comforting to realize nothing you do matters in the long run because your entire species and society has no future. I’ll focus on being a nice person to the few other humans that know me instead of trying to change the entire world, because realistically I can’t change the world. If I can make some positive impacts to a few other individuals before we all die, I’ll take that as a win.

Is that a healthy mindset? No. But I’m not a healthy person to begin with so I don’t care.

Don’t salt your food before you eat it.

Depends on the species. Some birds (usually birds of prey) are extremely territorial especially to members of their own species which are obviously their biggest competitors.

This is just pathetic and certainly not beating the narcissism claims.

Also, “smart” and high IQ are different things.

There’s no way to objectively measure how “smart” someone is, but if you think the bogus test and bogus score developed by eugenic pseudoscientists looking for an excuse to prevent the untermensch from breeding is the objective measure, you are in fact stupid.

Genuinely curious: why use an AI image instead of the many real Constructivist buildings?

I especially this one, nice balance of raw concrete and ornamentation:

Brutalism. The few brutalist buildings in my city are a welcome respite for the eyes against the blinged out crap they’re building nowadays.
