    Childbirth. You are so close to death while also bringing forth new life. It’s both a beautiful and disturbing experience.

    The CIA.

    People think it’s this cool spy agency, but they mostly just backed coups and genocides.

    The current state of the American education system. As a teacher, I can say they the bar is far too low and our children are totally unprepared.

    Child Labor I guess… If you’re a US politician in the midwest, like seriously, WHY DO 14 YEAR OLDS NEED TO WORK IN MEAT PACKING FACILITIES?

    Working by yourself at night, having someone stare at you through the window, and having to walk to your car in the dark when you get off work.

    The meat that you eat is made by savagely killing a sentient being that suffered pain, confusion and anxiety while they were being executed, and hung upside down while still alive to be at your plate.

    1. You can never see the present. Considering that light takes time to travel.

    2. God and faith are receding beliefs as science progresses.

    3. Color is a perception. Each of us sees a different shade of color.

    4. It is hard to imagine what is “nothingness”

    Flowers are plant genitals, meaning that a bouquet is a bundle of amputated penises.

    Long Covid. It’s not just a cough. It’s not just loss of smell/taste.

    The human brain has evolved so much, that we perceive importance in the world when really we are just another species of animal. Flora has been around longer than we have, and there will be tons of plant and animal life that will continue after humans are extinct.

    Since I’m useless, I asked GPT chat and it gave me a list

    1. The Stanford Prison Experiment:

    It was a psychological experiment where volunteers acted as prisoners and guards. It ended in less than a week because the “guards” began to become sadistic. It shows how quickly people can become abusive with a little power.

    2. The Case of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel:

    The way she was found (in a water tank) and the strange elevator video make this case more chilling than it seems. And the fact that no one noticed anything for days while they were using the water makes it macabre.

    3. Unit 731 (Japan, World War II):

    Much worse than the Nazi experiments, but less well-known. They performed vivisections and biological tests on living people. They were never prosecuted because the US offered them immunity in exchange for their data.

    4. Project MK-Ultra:

    A real CIA project that experimented with mind control and used drugs like LSD on people without their consent. The scale and secrecy were terrifying.

    5. What’s on the Deep Web:

    Beyond the typical (illegal sales), there are hidden forums with shady stuff: from real torture recordings to strange paranormal content. It’s not a myth, but it is a real danger.

    “Date Rape”

    Back in the 90s nonconsentual sex that happened when you agreed to hang out with someone or go on a date with them was considered “date rape”. It was a screwed up message to send young girls because once you agreed to a “date” the term “rape” was taken away and the incident became “date rape”. Somehow the term “date rape” makes the act seem less invasive. As someone who was a victim of “date rape” in the 90s let me tell you what I experienced was very much the definition of “rape”.

    The new world system that’s going to replace the “old order” with AI. It’s much more ruthless and inhumane than people expect. Euthanasia at 55yrs old so governments and companies can “save money” from cutting healthcare and pensions is literally hell on earth.

    how much of popular media revolves around violence. and how i’m guilty of participating in and enjoying it, too. (ex. the hunger games, marvel, etc.)

    What people will do when they believe it is right.

    A bad person does bad things, they might not care about the suffering they cause but they know how society views it.

    A person who believes they are doing good on the other hand and can justify evil actions as the moral choice? That person can do anything and not lose a wink of sleep over it.

    I could list a ton of examples of this but instead I’ll throw out a question – think of the most evil and deserving of punishment person you can imagine. Historical or modern and imagine you get to choose thier punishment. How far would you take it against this clearly evil person? This epitome of the worst of humanity?

    Because I’ll bet for most people they could justify some pretty stuff that’s out of character for them.

    The amount that we’ve both accepted and normalised the idea of for profit companies to take responsibility of caring for people (children, elderly, sick of disabled), than sacrificing that care ….for profit.

    Breaking a limb as an adult – particularly one that leaves you unable to walk or take care of yourself.

    All the medical care focuses on physical healing, but when you’re used to independence, the mental game is very difficult.

    Medical Malpractice in the US…

    Not only is it much more common than people realize, but it’s also common for the hospital to then deny responsibility in order to preserve the facade of their reputation.  

    Think, the way that poor old woman that was burned by the McDonald’s coffee was treated.  Only worse…

    The fact that we all just accept that airplane mode doesn’t really do anything, but we still turn it on like it’s a sacred ritual to keep the plane from plummeting. Disturbingly placebo and I’m not okay with it.
