We tend to hate ourselves. Look at so much of online culture: hating on human beings, hating on children, hating on society and the general public. These spaces aren't healthy.

Double edged sword of anonymity. In a social group, people balance feedback delivery with how they believe it will effect their relationship. Strangers just let you know how they felt.

It's why feedback from strangers is so much more valuable than feedback from people who care about you and don't want to hurt your feelings. People are also free to call out what they see as bullshit. This can be a force for good, but it also allows bad actors to infiltrate and manipulate people who will serve up mountains of cognitive dissonance to support bad faith arguments for their chosen prejudice.

It blows my mind that we continue as a species.

We mature slowly. We reproduce in low numbers. Our young are insanely weak compared to other species. We take forever to hit reproductive age. Childbirth is extremely dangerous without modern science.

On top of all that, one of our favorite pastimes EVER is killing each other.....
