This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think any creature evolved through competition and natural selection will end up this way.
Lying, killing, stealing, loving, building community, etc. are advantageous to survival at different times and in different situations. Seems the best survival tactic for us was to just keep improving and blending these.
We are at the point in our development where a lot of them don't fit as well anymore. But they won't go anywhere unless they impact mating success or stop being passed down for genetic reason.
I always say I doubt the Star Trek outcome bc of this. Any species able to unify and utilize all their resources to leave their planet is only going to be able to get there by conquering into one civilization.
