Has humanity stopped evolving?

@Chaosunleashed I'm very sorry to hear that. It is easy to recognize that the world has problems. Every member of the flock from the smallest on up knows it is walking in shit and there are wolves at the gate. Isolating yourself from the flock does nothing to help them or you. It simply lessons your exposure to their shit. Congratulations.

I am looking for people who see the same thing you see, but decide to be sheepdogs and help the flock. Everyone in this world is either a wolf, a sheepdog, or a part of the flock.

@sarabee1995 Just what I was thinking you would say. Tell me one thing, would you deliberately choose to be in a company of retards and insult your intelligence? What do you think would happen if you were constantly exposed to retardation? And to think that isolation doesn’t help me? It has saved me, and has helped me preserve my identity as an individual. What do you think I would’ve been like if I hadn’t isolated myself? An empty shell of a person living a scripted life, where all the decisions of my life had already been made for me!
And as for saving, I will preserve my patience for the ones who’s lives are directly going to be affected by my own.

@Chaosunleashed In isolating yourself from the flock, you do nothing to help them [b]or you[/b]. I stand by that statement.

We can debate all day long about whether an individual has an obligation to help his neighbor. Your thoughts are clear and I hope mine are as well. But if you goal is to help yourself, then simply isolating yourself from the flock does nothing in this regard. As I said already, it simply isolates you from their shit. If you want to improve your life and the lives of those close to you in any real way, then you need to take positive steps to improve the little corner of the world in which you live. Isolating yourself does not do this.

In regards to your question of me, first I object strongly to your use of the retards. I believe that all human life is of value and that we each are endowed with different aptitudes, all of which are necessary for a functioning society. I have a good friend with Downs Syndrome and I've never mentioned him on EP or SW before now. I think he brings more love and compassion and beauty to this world than your ugliness ever could hope to. So you ask if I would ever deliberately spend time with people who might score lower on some arbitrary intelligence test and I say to you definitively that I not only would, but I do, and they bless my life.

I feel sorry for you and hope that someday your eyes are opened to the beauty of the flock you are charged to help if able.

@Abrienda Tell me about it. Where I come from the whole god damn city is full of retards.

@Chaosunleashed Hahahaahah! From what I can tell people are much dummer than before. Here it is ... Abri's Theory of Devolution ¬ the easier it is to live, the dummer you become.

@Abrienda Well thats the problem. People love EASY!

@EugenieLaBorgia I see your an optimist! From where I am standing all I see is devolution. Believe me when I say we aren't getting any smarter than we already are.

@Chaosunleashed Perhaps, not in our life-times. Humans think only of the short term and not of the long.

@Chaosunleashed Yep totally agree with you.

Talk about Devolution!
