This thread is hardly surprising really. I've known of far weirder things. I'm kidding myself if I pretend this thread is surprising.

Does that count?

It depends whether we mean "absolutely surprising, as in intrinsically" or "surprising to you and others who have the same opinion".

I'm not surprised that humanity sucks so much. We're supposedly only something like 1.5% genetically away from Chimpanzees, so that's intelligent enough to USE the gift of inquisitiveness and technology that we have, but not intelligent enough to use it RIGHTLY that much it seems. We so often fuck things up of course. Intelligence can be used for the right things AND the wrong things. Even the stupidest of us may outweigh chimpanzees in intelligence but we still have enough capacity to fuck things up. And even the best of us - humans - throughout history might seem "genius" or whatever, but we're still far from fucking perfect.
