No, its quite easy. People inherently suck.
This does not exclude you; It's directionless and self abnegating. We're all a little crappy, so focus on those who choose not to at least try. It's a much more valuable use of your energies.
Not OP, but sure, I resent myself too.
I have trouble imagining a way I could be impressed with humanity in general, without actual willful ignorance. I'm not a dick about it, though. Kind of the opposite; it makes it a lot easier to refrain from judging any individual person.
Not impressed? We're the funniest natural phenomenon in the known universe, that has to count for something.
Probably true, but humour is pretty human-specific, so that's a bit like saying we're the most conventionally attractive by human standards.
Not really, all it requires is theory of mind, social norms, and the ability to anticipate outcomes. Plenty of animals exhibit comedic behavior patterns, but they all know we're funnier.
Really? As in non-primates that respond positively to humorous displays? Mostly I just see people anthropomorphising animals doing accidentally funny things, sometimes including legit pain or fear responses.
It's so. You can search this stuff, "animals who demonstrate sense of humor" etc.
I feel like that will mostly get me pretty much what I just described.
Why did you comment this instead of checking
No offense, but you're a random internet person to me. I wasn't about to go on a wild goose chase through cancerous clickbait sites just on your say-so. Basically, you need to give a more specific source, or I don't believe you.
That wisdom cuts both ways, I was only making conversation and you're ... I'm not sure what, actually. Are you trying to make it a debate while doing no legwork of your own?
Nothing like that. You made a bold claim, I just responded. Let's call it a day then, no hard feelings I hope.
