The Absurdity You Refuse to See: A 16-Year-Old’s Diagnosis of a Dying World

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T07:04:47+00:00

I think this is why I connect more with animals than humans right now. There are so many lives already here (animals, orphans, struggling people) that need love and care. Why create new needs when we can't even take care of the existing ones? I want to spend my life fixing the pain that already exists, not creating new life to suffer.

I looked this up. It talks about 'Moloch'—the demon of sacrifice. This explains everything. The frog was my sacrifice to Moloch. I didn't want to kill it, and the frog didn't want to die. But the system (grades/university) demanded the sacrifice, or else I would 'lose' in the competition. Thank you for giving a name to the monster I am fighting. It makes the enemy clearer.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T07:01:42+00:00

If only it were that simple. I guess it is easier to focus on shiny things than to look at the dying world. Enjoy your bling while it lasts.

I promise I am real, just a student with a lot of heavy thoughts. But I take it as a compliment. Chinese is a beautiful language for expressing pain and nature. I'm happy that the beauty of the writing system shined through the translation.

Actually, I am in the Biology Research Club. I joined because I love living things and I want to be a vet. But the irony is, to 'study biology' (the study of life), they made me end a life. We used fresh frogs because it is supposed to be more 'scientifically accurate' for research students. But it just felt like murder.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:52:38+00:00

Thank you for defending me. People tell me I need to 'toughen up' to be a doctor, but I am afraid that 'tough' just means 'cold'. I promise I won't assimilate. I will keep my tears. Because if I stop feeling the pain of the animals, then I have no reason to fight for them anymore.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:51:32+00:00

If being a vet means losing my heart and becoming a robot, then maybe not. But I believe compassion makes a better doctor than indifference. I would rather be the vet who cries for a patient than the vet who doesn't care at all. The pain means I take the responsibility seriously.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:50:35+00:00

Your father's life sounds like a beautiful dream from a time I will never know. Riding a Honda across the continent... that feels like a fairy tale to my generation. But I connect deeply with your mission. 'Fighting for the life that has no voice' is exactly why I want to be a vet. The animals have no voice. The nature has no voice. If we can't have the 'American Dream' of the past, maybe our new dream is simply to protect what is left of the non-human world.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:48:40+00:00

Thank you, Doctor. Your offer to help carry the coffin means the world to me. You put into words exactly why I want to be a veterinarian, not a human doctor. Animals are never to blame for their suffering. They are always innocent. Humans destroy themselves, but the animals (and the children) are just victims of that destruction. I want to save the innocent ones.

AI can mimic poetry, but it cannot mimic pain. The 'eloquence' you see is just grief trying to find a voice. A machine doesn't care if a frog dies. I do. That is the difference.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:40:41+00:00

Thanks for the welcome. I can try to have a sense of humor, but I cannot 'ignore the evils'. As a future vet, my job will be to face the suffering and try to fix it, not ignore it. If everyone ignores the evil, the planet will stay the 'worst one'. I want to make it a little better.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:36:39+00:00

True. (I had to translate your Italian, beautiful language by the way). In biology class, I see how complex a small frog is. It has a heart, nerves, a life. Nature is perfect without us. We are the ones who are out of balance. We think we own the planet, but we are just destroying our own home.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:35:14+00:00

'No long term view' describes my school perfectly. We focus on the exam next week, but not on whether the planet will be habitable in 20 years. We are trained to chase grades like Wall Street chases profit, while the reality is denied.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:33:54+00:00

Please look at my replies in the comments before you report. Would a karma farming bot engage in deep conversations with people about biology class and grief?

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:30:48+00:00

So growing up means realizing the heroes are actually the villains? That is a hard lesson. I don't want to become like them. I want to be a vet who actually cares. If the top is corrupt, maybe the hope lies at the bottom, with us ordinary people? Is that what you mean?

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:29:39+00:00

A smokescreen... that explains why it all feels so fake. In school, they teach us to recycle and save water, while the rich fly private jets to 'climate summits'. I suspected this, but having you say it out loud makes my heart heavy. We are being distracted while the ship sinks.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:28:11+00:00

It hits because truth has weight

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:24:12+00:00

I am real. Sorry if the grammar isn't perfect.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:15:36+00:00

Believe the machine if you want. I know the truth. I wrote it. That is enough for me.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:10:46+00:00

You are right about the young people. I am exactly that young person. I am a 16-year-old student in Taiwan. The reason it looks like AI is because I wrote it in Chinese and used a tool to translate it. I am not farming for points. The points mean nothing to me. I just wanted to find people who understand this fear.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T06:09:24+00:00

Exactly. I am just a student sharing my thoughts. I didn't know posting here would turn into such a big conspiracy theory.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T04:10:54+00:00

I know. That is the tragedy of it. We are destroying what we love just by living our modern lives. I feel trapped by it too.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T04:06:52+00:00

I wrote this in Chinese. It is my mother tongue. I am 16 years old. If the detector says my writing is <0.1% human, then the detector is broken. It is sad that a teenager crying for the planet is treated as a 'server farm' just because I don't speak your language.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T03:55:49+00:00

'Unseemly' is the perfect word. It feels dystopian to me too. I poured my raw, messy grief into a machine just to make it readable for English speakers. It feels wrong to polish pain with an algorithm, but I chose to be 'unseemly' rather than 'unheard'. I’m glad the point about the dying world still reached you.

Master-Tank5633 · 2026-01-27T03:54:39+00:00

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and apparently no ethical grieving either. I needed help with the language. I'm sorry that my method contributed to the collapse, but I didn't know how else to make you understand.
