surprisingly, this and the dynamics of homosexual sex was already figured out by a fictional Gorilla named Ishmael. Basically there are 'Givers' and there are 'Takers', I highly recommend you read this book OP. it will change the way you look not only about the 'nature' of man but also the nature of your own hole and dick

read this in high school, forgot about the homosex part. where does the gorilla come down on it? yea or nay?

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

OP the only difference between man and pleasure are its goals. Man seeks pleasure and nature seeks only survival.
Literally the exact opposite of true. Everything higher on the evolutionary chain than nematodes and insects does some things just for pleasure. All animals will eat past the point of satiation when given the chance and then some. There is no such thing as natural balance.

Humans aren't unique in the regard that they torture others just for the hell of it. From humans down to even insects there are examples of animals that do pointlessly cruel things. They serve no benefit to aggressor, and the victims pose no danger to them either. Its really quite the enigma.

The difference of course is that a human is capable of understanding that what it is doing is stupid and they're just a tremendous dick.

Some Russians used selective breeding to domesticate a species of arctic fox a decade or two ago, they're pretty cute. Turns out breeding for placidity and tolerance of humans makes ears go floppy and fur turn spotted. Everyone was kind of surprised by that particular side effect.

They're nice pets, cost like 10000$ a piece or so, though.

Yeah there are domesticated foxes. You can get some pretty exotic pets but really, dogs are man's best friend for a reason. If you want a pet that doesn't cost a fortune and won't suck just get a friendly little dog.

Thousands of years of abuse and genetic experimentation. We already broke them, what is wrong with people getting in on the ground floor of breaking a new species in?

A plague on Earth itself, on nature itself. All the normal versions of these things contain themselves to a few life forms and will eventually reach some eliquibrium.



Not so man, as we could not only consume this world, but others. A galactic plague.
