Yes we're horrible toxic people, because this is 2020's Mental Illness Olympics, and the winners get a free pass on giving life-threatening advice with the bonus of having zero accountability for their shit behaviour.

I just found this while searching for info on oxytocin. Who made this, who put it online? Any ideas?

I love this quote but I can't for the life of me work out what this site is supposed to be.

I didn't read all of it (my time is precious, you see :roll:) but it sounds a lot like the singularity for bio majors.

Technology will save us all, they say. 

It had damn well better.  Farming didn't work, religion didn't work, tyranny didn't work, and industry didn't work.

Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.

Interestingly enough, all of those are examples of technology.  If anything is going to save us, it'll pretty much have to be technology, given a broad enough definition of technology.

Really it's more like "Novel technology will save us."

No, wait, it's more like "Novel technology will replace our current problems with all new problems.  Yay!"

I can't wait for nanotech.  I'm sure it will be an unmitigated disaster that nearly destroys society (isn't everything these days?), but at least it will be a shitstorm of a color we've never seen before.

I like surprises.

Religion and tyranny are forms of technology?

Nothings going to "save" us.

If we weren't prepared to rely on tools, we should have given up on the thumbs and forebrains LONG ago.  We won't grow and new appendages, but we will forge, carve, and program faster and flashier mutant devices with which to smite each other.
We won't be the first species to develop things that we just couldn't deal with, we'll just have a more efficient time table for it.

Yes, Captain Obvious, but we're never going to step up and DO IT.
If current selection pressures continue, we are in the process of developing better Tech Support, and better Tech Support Victims.

Oh look, it can write something that ISN'T dull and full of fallacious assumptions.

Well, at least not dull.
