it's ironic how many people have antagonistic knee-jerk reactions towards identifying as "made up" species found in myth and fantasy

but most of what they themselves identify with and uphold, is just memes: customs, laws, gender roles, currency, borders, titles, power structures etc

the validity of an idea should not be measured by how accepted it is in a dysfunctional, exploitative and self-sabotaging society

that whole pretense of rationality and skepticism is nauseating
