People Are Morons

People are morons. It's pretty amazing that we're as smart as we are in comparison to other animals, true, but mostly it's frustrating that we're just smart enough to see that we're not smart enough. If people weren't morons, they wouldn't need to invent religions to keep themselves organized. If people weren't morons, they wouldn't need to invent governments and laws to keep them from raping and robbing one another. When you look at us as really clever chimps in clothes, our accomplishments are quaint and impressive. When you look at us as, quite possibly, the highest developed manifestation of intelligence in the universe, suddenly you get depressed. The next step is to invent a god that's smarter than you, so you don't have to be depressed anymore. And it all starts again....
