      Lol nah it’s true, people silently judge everyone around them and they do it to try to convince themselves they are superior. That they haven’t been doing things wrong their whole lives. That their inner models for how the world works are accurate.

      You just don’t want to admit that humans are that shitty, that’s all. Or that you are.

        YOU silently judge everyone around you. You’ve admitted as much. You don’t know what it going on in any one else’s head, that’s pure conjecture by you.

          And so do you. I never said I was excluded from that rule. I am at least unabashedly honest about it. You just don’t want to accept you are the same way.

          We are nothing but selfish, indolent, avaricious, narcissistic, jealous, petty, nasty little apes who establish dominance hierarchies and silently judging others for the reasons I listed above is one of the myriad of ways in which we demonstrate our true nature and establish dominance over one another.

          Convincing oneself one is superior to others is a survival mechanism. A destructive one I am going to judge you and blame you for, simply because it is the truth.

          We are destructive and cruel to each other and that is what it means to be human. Accept it.

              See? The first thing any of you thought to do was take offense because deep down inside, you know what I’m saying is true.

              Would it help if I told you it’s okay to just be a simple animal? We all are anyway.

                I didn’t take offense. It’s not that all of what you’re saying is false. It’s just quite obvious that you have a very negative picture of humans and probably have been hurt. People aren’t just the cruel animals you think they are. I know that and sincerely wish that you someday will as well. So that wasn’t meant offensive in any way. Go see a therapist.

                What makes you think they took offense? If they responded another way that they don’t do it, you’d believe them? I think you’re just coming up with excuses to claim that you’re right.

        Not everyone is the same. We aren’t all motivated by the same things, we weren’t all raised the same way, we weren’t all damaged by the same things and we don’t all think the same.

        When you assume everyone thinks the same way as you, you’ll misjudge a lot of people.

          And not a single one of those things changes the fact that humans silently judge each other.

          All people do this across all cultures. We’re hardwired to do it by virtue of being what we are, and what we are are apes who establish dominance hierarchies.

          It’s just a fact. You’re purposefully misconstruing it as a moral claim so you can attack a strawman to make yourself feel better, but it’s still just a fact.

          If I told you it is in no way a moral judgement or condemnation toward you, I bet you would be more ready to accept it, and that’s the point. Your selfishness is the point.
