Misanthropy?

I could care less about the human race. Like the late George Carlin quote: When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. "When you're born in America, you get a front row seat."

I don't really have strong feelings about our species anymore. I don't hate or love humanity, we simply are. I find that filtering the actions of our species as a collective or as individuals through a lense of personal morals, ethics or values is ultimately a waste of cognitive energy that only serves to validate and stroke egos by demonising or 'otherising' individuals with whom one disagrees.

I ignore humanity and own several reptiles and a dog. Animals are the best. They're funny and fascinating and really make your home more peaceful. IMO.

I love humanity, or really I love human capital. I love talented humans. Intelligent, ambitious, funny, creative, etc.

It follows a power law distribution. Most people are unremarkable. Some are reasonably talented at something valuable. A smaller % are really talented. An even smaller % are hyper talented. An even smaller % are game changing talented.

I don't hate humanity, I think humanity will use biotechnology and machine technology to transcend these limited biological bodies we have. That'll be awesome. Billions/trillions of years of the universe with machine intelligence roaming around, capable of things we can't even fathom. And humanity will give birth to it.

The human race is a joke. The only way to truly be free is to directly regulate your dopamine. Then you realize nothing matters.

ArthurVonL · 2016-10-02T07:20:38+00:00

I do not hate humanity, I hate the human behaviour of not learning, being easily influenced(most of the people still own a TV, I don't), being lazy and as you wrote searching for a dopamine high and nothing else. I admit that I was like that in my young years, but then I grew up and changed, reading more books, studying, etc. People can change, people have a giant potential and they do not even know it. In fact I love a part of humanity: scientists, writers, doctors etc. People that give a contribution instead of only taking. My philosophy is to focus on bettering myself, and show the people that everything is possible if you have the will to change. Humanity is on the verge of extinction, if we do not find a way to travel through the space, we will just be another mistake of natute/scienze/aliens/whatever. Enjoy the ride, and if you want to hate just keep doing it, the hate for a few people helped me during my life, but I prefer to ignore them, for my own peace. Go your own way brother.

I don't hate humanity, the same way I don't hate wymynz specifically, but I'm just able to function more efficiently "without to some extent", a general defiance with a nice smile and very few words. Silence and an healthy distancing are my best allies.

nu216 · 2016-10-02T08:52:34+00:00

While I like individual humans who respect the individuality of their fellow man, I see humanity the collective as a threat to my individuality. No matter where I am, there will always be groups of humans who want to impose their values onto me in order to extract resources, protection, or validation. Governments, religions, idealists, and gynocentrists; they all seek to suppress the individual freedoms I have come to enjoy.

hertus · 2016-10-02T11:02:06+00:00

I agree with you. But MGTOW is the solution. MGTOW will make you happier, it will give you freedom, and if you don't have any children, you will contribute to population decline, which will help the environment and reduce the amount of human depravity there is out there.

Gabe-Asher · 2016-10-02T12:58:21+00:00

I have no love for the human race, as in the end we are only animals, granted animals capable of complex thoughts & emotions, but animals nonetheless.. Sure there are good people on this planet we call home, close family members etc... But most people are doing what humans are designed to do, which is put themselves first, most people will not think twice about causing harm or emotional pain to others if it benefits them in some way.. However, my generation is by far the most selfish, clueless & all round disgusting though.. i am 24, and don't relate to anyone in my age bracket.. In the day & age of social media, all young people care about is their " public image " especially women.

Jean Calvin was right: Total Depravity.

FruitKnockersBatman · 2016-10-02T05:10:35+00:00

I can't take on all of humanity's problems, it's too much for one man. There's too many humans on this planet, but we're hopefully becoming more intelligent as a species. I just try to live my life, help family and friends, be nice to people I meet, and try to find some purpose and contentment. Then when it's time to checkout of this plane of existence, I'll do it with two middle fingers, a shotgun, and a whiskey bottle.

bestat777 · 2016-10-02T05:19:13+00:00

People are unbelievably selfish, most are completely willing to cause massive pain to others if it allows them some instant gratification. And most people would murder you if an authority figure told them to do so. Let that sink in. Still like humanity?

Well, if you believe evolution, maybe we have to strive to control our animalistic tendencies i.e. Rape etc. Greed is a good example to our pollution problem. Our greed needs control.

As to hating humanity? I would hate it, if all countries were totalitarian. Thankfully, we have a good form of government, the U.S., that, for the most part, follow the Constitution.

The Constitution is based on philosophical ideas from the enlightenment period. Now, the secret is practicing these philosophical ideas in everyday life. The U.S. has put into practice sometimes these ideas in the Constitution. For example, slavery being abolished. If we keep practicing these ideals more often. Maybe we can reach that goal of controlling our animalistic tendencies. From historical reference, we have been putting into practice the Constitution making child labor illegal, an 8-hour workday possible, creating the best economy in the world etc.

Hate occurs when there is no understanding. There is a reason things are as they are. If you feel that way, do some research to see why people are behaving this way.

For example, I don't like our criminal system because people who kill others, steal, or other similar conduct do so for a reason. Yet, we punish them heavily as if they wanted to kill someone. These people could have had a horrific upbringing that would explain why they would act in such a way. I would never do those acts, but I know these people are not in my social, economic or cultural position. Judging them as bad people is retarted, they obviously have something lose in their brain to act this way. No healthy human being would act in such a way. El Chapo, the head of a Mexican cartel, said that he did what he did because there were no opportunities. What else was he to do keel over and die?

I guess it comes down to your emotional disposition when socialising with people. Personally the type that mostly rubs me the wrong way are the confident ones who steadfastly believe in themselves - why? Because most of them don't realise how much they suck by comparison.

Compaw · 2016-10-02T13:02:49+00:00

Not so much the whole race itself but a decent eugenics procedure needs to happen. 50,000 - 60,000 years ago there was an event called the "great leap" a controversial topic on evolutionary progress. During that time there were different species of humans, the neanderthals, homo sapiens, homogeneous habits (hobit), and the nephilin. There are geological traces that lead to a theory where the super massive volcano named touba erupted in the what's know as now Indonesia, the ashes from the volcanoes and current climate created wide spread chaos. While some of those subgroups went extinct others survived and thrived. Theven neanderthal faired best due to being in mostly Europe though going extinct in other situations. Those nearest to the volcano died in mass extinction. But a subgroup in Africa faced near destruction there population dwindled to 10,000, out of this event there was an evolutionary bottle neck. Those that survived began to show much more rapid mutations and becoming smarter and adaptive, the were one of the first known links to humans drawing on caves creating smarter tools and burying the dead with flowers.some say that it was due to complete rewiring of the brain. This African tribe became to be what we know as the AMHS (anatomically modern home sapiens).

So what I'm saying is we need anot her bottle nicking incident to happen

Well most human beings are stupid, greedy, do the opposite of what's in their self-interest and interest of their best allies... so ya, pretty much.

I view the common human as a meat-puppet with the appearance of a death-wish that actually is merely stupidity let run without limits.

A view only 0.00001% of humans as above this.

all so we can make more money, the paper that we depend on for survival.

That's part of the Matrix lie of what money is. Real money is food, gold, silver, medicine, things that are easily stored and traded, things that endure (some food will; some will not)

I like the idea of humanity but I feel the implementation falls short of expectations.

MrVitaminP · 2016-10-02T22:08:36+00:00

Wants to have an honest adult conversation, doesn't want to waste time explaining their position... You have a very different definition of adult conversation than I do, no thanks.

360GnomeChild · 2016-10-02T03:58:42+00:00

I think it's a bummer that technology and science gets better, but not so much the people.

Talkytalktalk · 2016-10-02T13:09:35+00:00

And people who hate humanity do the most murdering.
