As I grew into an adult, my biggest disappointment was how stupid human adults are.

- Instead of studying climate change, we try to ban all studies of it so that we can pretend it doesn’t exist. Problem solved! Even ostriches don’t really bury their heads in the sand when threatened.

- Money will totally matter when your planet is an environmentally ravaged wasteland.

- We do the same thing with guns. Let’s never study how to make a device that can murder people safer! Something designed to kill people has absolutely nothing to do with killing people! An AR-15, for example, is only modeled after a military assault rifle. However, it obviously has hunting implications, and we should pass them out like candy to everyone, including 5-year-olds and domestic abusers. Only then will we be safe!

- We Kill each other because “God” told us to. Never mind the fact that this God is just like a human (with traits like jealousy and hatred), and chooses not to reveal itself for some reason. We should just accept at face value that God exists, and it loves your money!

- We’re so emotional and stupid that an ape-like buffoon like Trump gets elected to the highest position in this country by exerting knuckle-dragging, primate-like acts of “dominance” over the other candidates. 2020 will consist of candidates slinging shit at each other.
Also, random news stories from Facebook that look like they were vomited out by 1000 monkeys jumping on a type-writer absolutely must be taken as fact. They appeal to our emotions, and everyone knows that how you feel is much more important than logic! If you feel that a story is true, it must at least be as valid as stories from the New York Times!

- We act like a 20-year-old frat douche who surfs Alex Jones’s websites has an opinion just as valid as scientists who got their doctorate, worked in the field for 20 years, and have actually studied what they’re talking about. Everybody’s opinion matters!

- In the event of war with Russia, we will win by firing planet-destroying weapons at them until 99.99999% of people on earth die. Yay! We win!

I’ve never felt more angst for this country’s future. It feels like we’re on a bus being driven by a chimp, and not crashing yet is our version of “success.”
