    Sometimes I tell myself time travel is possible and it’s exclusively the domain of those who care about our welfare; this is the best timeline they can give us.

    Sometimes it comforts me. Sometimes it hits as having shit faith in humanity.

    And I know we aren’t being shephereded in some Travelers kinda way. It just entertains me when the world stops making sense.

      I have no faith in humanity. Period. There are some good people but few are worth the time to interact with.

        As much as I understand that sentiment and agree when we think about politics, I just have faith that this shit stain isn’t all of us. He is showing us all what it is to be horrible and years from now the younger generations will see it and be different.

          Sure but that understanding tends to last a single generation. We don’t have generational memory, which is why we keep repeating stupid mistakes once the following generation comes into power.
