Why People Suck

January 22, 2010 295 Comments

I often have this same thought over and over and over again. When I read a quote from Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri’s Voyage du Tour du Monde (1719) on the first page of Neal Stephenson’s The Confusion (2004), it made me want to video-ize the thought. Here’s the quote: “So great is the dignity and excellency of humane nature, and so active those sparks of heavenly fire it partakes of, that they ought to be look’d upon as very mean, and unworthy the name of men, who thro’ pusillanimity, by them call’d prudence, or thro’ sloth, which they stile moderation, or else through avarice, to which they give the name of frugality, at any rate withdraw themselves from performing great and noble actions.” And now please to enjoy the video-izing of this thought I keep having. Have you thought the same thing, too? I mean, since you’re on my site, I can’t help but think you’ve thought it, too. This week, let’s talk about it!

    [..YouTube..] I have an idea on this…we have become spiritually dead, we no longer value life for the beautiful, wonderfully unique creatures we are….instead we place value on conformity, this eliminates much of the art you speak of and creates an overall hostile enviornment for everyone, I like people in small groups where there is accountability….but in large groups, no way hose’.

  40. [..YouTube..] I think the problem is you’re confusing character ingenuity. Granted, mankind comes up with some pretty awesome stuff, but human nature is really evil, even when it is “good”, not good. People do good things to be acknowledged, or to get something in return. It is extremely rare anyone does anything expecting nothing in return. It’s really that basic and simple.
