    I don’t struggle with it at all. I accepted it decades ago. I suppose it makes the end of the world easier to deal with.

        Funny, I believe the exact opposite propositions. A human has the potential to be brilliant and beautiful but humanity will never be as intelligent as an ant colony.

          Yeah, straight up disagree.
          People are not individually brilliant, we are the result of hundreds of generations of iteration and resilience. No one has built and started from zero even people like me that avoids others.

          People are not superheroes, they aren’t individual creators they are at the new end point of the neverending colony.

          But the individual will always let you down. They are not as perfect or incredible as our beliefs in them.
