Laziness. The mechanism that allowed us to survive and progress in the past is destroying our lives in the present.
It evolved to preserve energy. To do that, we searched for ways to accomplish tasks more efficiently, spending less time and energy. Progress accelerated so much that today we have created a fake world where the things we need to do require almost no time or energy.
Where we once needed to hunt for days to find food, now we just open a pack of chips.
Where we once needed to spend time communicating, attracting, courting, and seducing women to reproduce, now we just open a porn site.
Where we once needed to move and do things physically, now we just pay someone to do it for us.
In our chase for efficiency, everything has turned fake. Fake requires less; it's more efficient. But it's not!
Unfortunately, the body doesn't know the difference. Masturbation and real sex seem the same. Real and junk food do too. Real progress is similar to achievements in a video game. Real communication is like spending time on social media. And it is a delusion. All this will lead to degradation. And most people follow their bodies and feelings.
But we can't do that. We can't be delusional. Too much depends on us. We can't let the world turn into hell because of our stupidity. It is our responsibility to take things seriously, to learn, to analyze, and to do whatever is necessary to become intelligent, strong, and competent. It is our responsibility to build the world we want to live in.
Wake the fuck up!!!
