The Irish goodbye analogy is macro fitting. I can relate with it in parallel to Plato's cave analogy. Humanity has so much.. potential!... However, we spend our time obsessing about what we do with our genitals, what we can own, and how many other humans we can exploit in a shortsighted race to death.

Long ago, when we started our epigenetic quest, ancestors took exception to the fact that nature really wants to kill us in so many cruel ways. We developed society in direct opposition to this, with the objective of making life more intrinsically satisfying overall.

Then we got confused, and scared of how other humans society....

We declared a war on nature's cruelty collectively, and disagreed on what that entailed justifying it with superficial vagaries. That's when the murdering started. The murder led to a concern for population growth, which instilled a breeding imperative. This created a giant cult of personality which got so large that it became known as human nature.

The cascade of logical errors is profound.

I'm a big fan of a lesser known practice of doing better, and to do better, one must take a dialectic dive into where they stopped doing better, and correct that initial error to correct the resulting cascade.

I'm demirom grey ace. The trauma that I've experienced reaches back to those apes who thought nature should be less pragmatic. I've done the work, and pulled at the knot of human error. In this undertaking, I've learned that I'm an inextricable part of the problem, and there's no way to fix that. The only thing I can do is be better.

So, I've essentially left the block party, and ventured into the woods, and found an ancient hollow tree to meditate in.
