The Average Human Animal: How Stupid Are We?

Just took a flight from Vegas back to Toronto and every one of these trips just reinforces to me how fucking stupid the average human animal is. Crowding and fighting to get off and on planes. Rushing to get to customs and generally being emotionally driving assholes

Then after all the rushing and rudeness they never seem to learn that the luggage takes an hour or more to come out because another pack of stupid humans are completely incapable of unloading a plane and moving baggage a few hundred meters in a timely and organized fashion

The all the assholes gather around and crowd the luggage carrousel 6 people deep so hardly anyone can see or access the luggage that still takes another 30-40 mins on average to come out. (1 hr 20 mins for me to get my two ‘priority’ tagged bags to come out.

So as I sit on the sidelines comfortably in a chair I’m smuggly and probably annoyingly comforted by the fact that all this scene before me is actually good for me. It’s actually the main reason I was able to retire so young and get to enjoy my days taking trips and living rather…

I’m 52 now. So I’ll share a tidbit of the benefits of age. When I was young I used to get frustrated and annoyed by shit like this. I didn’t appreciate the poison I created in body chemistry in the process. Anger, poor breathing, perhaps stomach acid, followed by a desire to…

Better yet. Catch eyes with someone and engage in a friendly chat to pass the time. Or simply observe things of interest to me in the present. At this time, I’m still debating if I actually want to write a book. And therefore often think of parallels between the regular life…
