    Our entire planet has been organized around a cold, calculating science of cruelty. Honest to God, if we lived in a better society and you wrote a book about how we do things, it’ll never become popular. Too unbelievable that anyone would tolerate the way we do things.

      Alien 1: Why are there more hungry humans here points at Central America and more obese people here points at Texas? Is there a distribution obstacle?

      Alien 2: Ah, good observation. No, they can get food anywhere very easily. There’s even an outpost on that ice part where they can’t even grow food. But, the humans drew a line here points at Mexico-USA border

      Alien 1: Why don’t they just erase the line?

      Alien 2: Because the people on the northside have better weapons and will kill any humans that try to move the line.

      Alien 1: But they don’t need that much food. It’s actually hurting them. Are they willing to kill other humans just to hurt themselves with abundance?

      Alien 2: Basically, yeah.

      Alien 1: Wow. Someone needs to tell them about nuclear power so they could all have more than enough then.

      Alien 2: Yeah, soooo, about that. They did figure it out, but made weapons out of it instead.

      Alien 1: WTF. Won’t they kill themselves? Someone needs to tell them!

      Alien 2: They already know! They even made a clock about it so that everyone can prepare for the end of their species when the time is near lol

      I don’t know where I was going with this, but I guess I had to get it out. 🤷‍♂️

        Yes, but have you considered that that’s how we do things therefore your entire argument is defeated?
