babies havin rabies posted:in modern human civilization your function is prettymuch the same as a specialized eusocial insect drone's. the difference is that unlike those insects you are actually able to comprehend this whole situation. fortunately your ego suspends you from dwelling on that so you can have kids instead of laying on the ground in a literal heap of existential problems I'm not saying humanity would be better off if we used genetic engineering or something to turn everyone into creatures like the Tyranids from Warhammer 40k, but it would probably be easier on the human psych than what we have now

the other day i saw a spider spinning around and around on the end of a web and i thought it was dead or something like a dry husk so i watched it for a while and when a leg got caught up in the web it freed itself to spin around and around some more. it was spinning really fast im sure it was doing it on purpose and getting off on the sensation

Okay let's assume for a minute that humans don't have free while still being conscious enough to acknowledge that fact. Do we accept it or do we try to rise above it?
