Thread: How negative should our thoughts be?

I personally think that positive thinking is delusional.

People are stupid monkeys. People think like stupid monkeys. Stupid monkeys with nuclear warheads and American Idol. People make basic logical errors all the time at all levels of thought. Most people couldn't think clearly about something to save their lives. People don't like people that can think clearly. People like to make stupid assumptions and don't like to be told that they're wrong. People think that "all X is Y implies that all Y is X." People think teleologically. Both of these are instinctual and have a solid, easily understood, evolutionary background. People then think that they don't have instincts and are better than other organisms.

Honestly, if I saw a dog or a person about to die, and I could only save one, I would save the dog every single time.

People have no compassion and only care about having fun. People are pretty much pond scum. This is why there are so many creationists in the world.

I am ashamed to be a person. It's truly a wonder that any of us can think formally at all.

The good news is that we'll probably have driven ourselves extinct in a few generations and life will be able to proceed normally.
