The duality of humanity, smart enough to fix almost any challenge we're faced with, but lazy af unless properly motivated.

Having just spent a significant amount of time recovering from a nerve injury, I can attest most wouldn't make near full recovery (as I have), or in as short a time, primarily due to a lack of personal drive and motivation.

This is clear and present in the fact that, the majority of folks allowed to have kids, drive cars and get on a soapbox online to share their "opinion" (useless regurgitated garbage they saw on TikTok) are either not educated enough, or do not care enough to put their effort into something fulfilling and worthwhile, because that takes EFFORT. Something so few seem willing to put in these days, it's saddening. Convenience over security and safety I guess.

I'll sit here with my popcorn and happily watch the human race sleepwalk into dystopia, we're already so close! That's not to say I don't make a significant effort, just that my expectations are so low at this point I'm not sure it'll make a difference.
