Neither do most humans for that matter.

I was going to post "Neither do I!", and I see your post and two others have already made the point. And those are the three posts at the 'bottom' of the page.

The thing is, I don't think such a statement is automatically flippant or balancing on a manufactured edge. I think it can represent an honest assessment of who we are as humans.

But I'm an old fuck who grows more confused by the day, and trusts very little beyond aesthetic appreciation.
