Reply to Scientists revive a ‘zombie virus’ that spent 48,500 years frozen in permafrost by FieldOk884
“In todays top story Scientists were forced to stop drilling today after finding a strange ancient cavern. Reports suggest a giant, realistic Baphomet statue was chained to the floor and walls, which themselves were covered in ancient writing that was revealed to be inked in human infantile blood. Further reports suggest that a strange book was found on a ornate pedestal next to statue which itself was glowing red with what was described as a ‘demonic energy field’. Scientists have taken the book, and are reading it aloud now in an attempt at translation. Further updates at 11”

Boiled down this is just the philosophical idea that there is no such thing as an altruistic act.
And when it comes to driving, I wholehearted believe that’s the case.
I don’t do things to be nice when driving. I do them to not end up a bloody grease stain on tarmac.

Individuals and small groups (relatively) seem to care about stopping that.
But humanity in general, on the grand scale, counterintuitively seems to very much not care about that and continue to do things that will inevitably cause more suffering than necessary.
