Of course; you are not me. I can,have and will continue to put it exactly like that. But then, I am a sincere misanthrope,you may bot be.
So you think you are that different by using a 50 dollar word that merely means " I don't like being around others"
Neither do I, but what you really hate, and I do too, is that reality isn't perfect otherwise you'd be more apt to socialize. But both you and I are aware that most people think short term and are as shallow as their next paycheck and election.
You should not hate our species, you should merely be aware that what you really hate is that evolution didn't produce your pet utopia, evolution will never produce anyone's utopia because utopias don't exist. Humans do what they do both good and bad and always will despite anyone's personal wishes. You can hate an action, or a claim, but to try to isolate yourself on an island from reality is futile and will only make you bitter.
I hate what evolution produces as far as cruelty and credulity, but that wont go away. But evolution also produces compassion, and that wont go away either. It IS ok and as far as I am concerned to be weary and skeptical. It is not ok to ignore the reality that there will always be people who spew shit out of their mouths.
