We are also the only species not threatened to be hunted down and eaten at the whim of another species. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
id pay taxes not to experience that
No, we're just threatened and hunted down on the whim of others within our own species.
(though fortunately being eaten is a very rare occurrence)
Ok if you think it’s so similar go Try being a wildrat. There’s no doctor or hygiene or antibiotics , living as a scavenger and no electronic device to tell anyone about it. Food is what you can find and it’s rotten. Sure you get to shit wherever you want to but parasites are common place. And literally no one will care if you die while you have your brain eaten alive.
Smoogs, you okay pal?
Your view here is basically "if you think our society is so bad, go die in the wild." Absolutely unhinged take on the situation.
Nope I’m fine. But nice try on the adhominem Derail, you insufferable, condescending,troll shit.
I mean, if I was born a wild rat I probably wouldn't have enough self aware cognition to care that my life was objectively shit. I'd be a rat, with my little rat brain and my rat hormones and rat mood regulators, I wouldn't be happy, but I wouldn't be depressed either.
surviving in a system that it is considered normal if I accumulate all the available food in region for my personal benefit, even if the people in the said region need this food for survival.
We also have devices to fight boredom….flushable toilets…..someone takes away our garbage….doctors…someone makes our clothing, washing machines, hygiene….
There are many apex predator species
Go hang around where polar bears are and get back to us, Mr. Apex Predator.
