That same kind of doom and gloom end of the world thinking existing 2,000 years ago, it obviously exists today and guaranteed if we are around in 2,000 years it will exist then.
A quote I like that just about sums up human nature from the time of the Romans to today:
"When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again." - Mike Tyson
- thinkfurther 9y agoThat's not "human nature", that's the nature of sick people who were mistreated in some form (most of them considered benign by too many) as children or later (which is at least a better simplification than most rationalizations I hear most of the time). That that now engulfs the planet so much it is considered "human nature" kind of proves the point that we're fucked. Look at a baby who is acknowledged and treated well, and doesn't happen to have a problem to cry about atm. That's "human nature" to me. Now skip forward to kids, that's human potential. Now skip forward to youths, and you see people with all sorts of sticks up their butts; skip to adults, you see and smell death. Yes, I'm generalizing, but I also see what I see. Something usually goes wrong very quickly, but it still goes wrong, and people call all sorts of things personalities or cultures (or even "human nature") because they're not able or willing to ask what is really going on.
