    I’m surprised myself at the amount of people wishing death onto others throughout this community. It’s definitely weird to me.

      If you want an unsettling thing to think about, look into Calhoun’s rats.

      Social media has essentially overcrowded our functional distance with one another.

      You could be on a ranch with no one around for miles, and yet you have hundreds if not thousands of other people are directly interacting with you giving and competing for dopamine hits.

      And just like the rats we now have people not leaving their domiciles, being apathetic, hedonistic, etc. We’re mentally falling apart because we’re just too overcrowded.

      “Tankie!” “Fascist!” “Heathen!” “Religious nut!” “Zionist!” “Antisemite!”

      (Eventually the rats end up eating each other.)

      Yet here we both are. That dopamine drip sure is nice…
