The best argument against Humanity II

In yesterday's rant I condensed my hatred of humanity down to a pithy knockoff of a Chuchhill quote while supporting my argument with examples from movies I have recently watched. Overall I think the rant was in accord with the journalistic excellence readers have come to expect from the rants I write on Everyone Is A Sith while my boss is at lunch. For those of you who missed the rant (even though it is right fucking there) and so require a summary here it is:

"The best argument against humanity is a five minute conversation with the average human being."

While everyone has ample examples from their own lives upon which they may reflect to see the wisdom within this quote apparently the good people at Fox News decided that rather than dwell in abstracts I needed a real-world, timely example to showcase the genius of my pithy little quote. So, out of the kindness of their black hearts, they posted an article by John R. Lott, Jr. entitled, wait for it, Global Warming: Is It Really a Crisis?

The article itself is the usual hodgepodge of "my scientists say your scientists suck", "human beings cannot impact the planet", and "I don't want to not drive my Hummer" idiocy presented in the same faux scientific manner as every other head-buried-in-ass-sand-stupid article written by unobjective dipshits. But what sets this article apart is this little gem:
"If we believe that man-made global warming is “bad,” we still don’t want to eliminate all carbon emissions. Having no cars, no air conditioning, or no electricity would presumably be much worse than anything people are claiming from global warming."

Ok. Since John R. Lott, Jr. missed this I will assume that others missed it too. Let me state this clearly so that we can all be on the same proverbial page:

Global Warming and Global Climate Change result in EVERYONE DYING.

Ok? If we fill the atmosphere with CO2, cut down all of the trees, use all of the oil, and cram the remaining habitable land full of chemicals and trash we all die.

The lack of realization so many have regarding this point is, I think, a wonderful foundation upon which to build my argument that human beings simply fucking suck. They do not think through things. Human beings ignore the world in which they live and instead base their decisions upon idiotic delusions and baseless assumptions, romanticized ideals found in fiction rather than fact.

And it all comes from this sense of detachment human beings embrace. This notion that they are somehow separate from the world in which they live. I do not understand how a person can think that if we cut down all the trees and fill the atmosphere with CO2 there will be plenty of oxygen to breathe. I don't understand how a person can have an argument regarding global warming based on the impact of taxes on business. I do not understand how someone could not recycle, conserve resources, and fucking pay attention enough to see the world in which they live and ACT ACCORDINGLY!

It's all a part of this idiotic delusion human beings have embraced which is supported by this mask society affords them. Human beings no longer have to carry buckets of water from the river to their homes; rather, they simply turn a handle and water appears. So the understanding of reality becomes one in which water magically appears when one turns the handle. Of course it is not the case that the water has been filtered through their neighbor's septic system, that one is basically drinking another's piss. No, the water has been magic'd into homes. It's not the case that trees are needed to have oxygen. Nope. Oxygen is just magic'd into the atmosphere. The environment is not necessary for survival. Nope. The environment is there to supply materials from which one can profit. The thing that supports existence? That's something else. Has to be.

And it is all there in that quote. That self-involved, delusional "we still don’t want to eliminate all carbon emissions. Having no cars, no air conditioning, or no electricity would presumably be much worse than anything people are claiming from global warming." Human beings adore their stupid little system, their idiotic conveniences.

There is a trap used in Asia to catch monkeys. The trap is a hollowed out gourd or log with a piece of fruit inside with a hole large enough for a monkey to just get its hand inside. When a monkey reaches inside to grab the fruit it cannot get its hand outside; the fist is too large for the hole. Since the monkey will not let go of the fruit they are stuck in the trap and will stand there, clenching their fruit, as a person walks up to them and beats them to death with a stick.

Human beings are the monkey. The delusion is the fruit.

And when humanity get beat to fucking shit by nature's stick? Don't come crying to me.

Because I'm just going to say that I fucking told you so.
