Sadly this is true even with all of ingenuity and affluence these days. Very frustrating for a smart organized and rational fella like myself
Your biological imperatives are thus: 1. Survive. 2. Breed. 3. Pass on what you've learned.
That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I prefer to stick with facts and science. People are pretty fucking smart, when all things are considered. A monkey can watch a man make a cutting board 10,000 times, and still not know how to make a cutting board. A child can watch a man make a cutting board 5 times, and is already willing to try to make one themselves. Children, and people in general, are amazing creatures. We bond with our enemies (think Roy and the Tiger) who would cheerfully eat us, and manage to thrive. The world is a truly beautiful place when we stop trying to dominate each other, and just work together, willingly.
That being said, when it comes down to survival? I'd rather be my friend than not. And I'd rather be the friend of anyone like me than not. Because in the end, if it all boils down to food, I'm meat. And so are you. Same as any other animal. Just don't pull a CNN and eat human brain live on air. That shit's disgusting, and prions are terrifying.

Thank god you guys can't have kids lol.
I'm perfectly capable of having kids, FYI. Were it particularly important to me to do so, I probably wouldn't have married my wife.
It's not really much of an insult (if it was intended as one), because I've been so... "blackpilled" I think they call it? For so long that I'd rather not inflict this society on a child.
I like people and I think people are amazing. On the flipnote, I see every society consistently devolve into animalistic behavior the moment they reach a peak where all needs are met and they could truly push ahead to something spectacular.
I have no hope for future generations, it'll just be the same old nonsensical bullshit, just with different tech being protested along the way. Seems like a shit world to introduce a new soul to.
