But be proud to be the apex of Earth
sad thing is that when humans have no accomplishments of their own to note they usually fall back on group affiliation as a source of pride, like the loser in bumfuck Missouri who is an ardent white nationalist
in a sense having too much pride is a sign none of us really has anything to be proud of
is there a word for empty pride?
vs provable pride from accomplishments
Vanity?
vicarious pride?
literally lucifer
kek
You're right, I'm proud my ancestors got rid of slavery.
I am proud of my species
im proud that i havent died in this country thats something
Because we are the best
yeah it's vanity like @Rouqen said
I'm proud I got out of bed this morning
I am not proud of myself that much
aw
I haven't changed the world
have you changed your own personal world though?
Meaning I done nothing
dude
if we do become spacefaring think well go peaceful with aliens or go full blown war with the xenos?
the world is you subjetive vision of it
My personal world doesn't mean shit
so you technically control the world
I think peace or indifference and avoidance is more likely
i want play with black holes
in the most stupid way possible
I don't think that first contact would allow us anything other than peace
how do we translate their language
Like
like throwing them over the edge of the universe
it's either peace or death for us lol
Arrival was a pretty good movie about that
actually
i do have a dream
we anthropomorphize aliens and assume they'll be hostile
i want to fuck a alien waifu
