Some human monkeys will reach for higher goals, like knowledge and/or a truer sense of community to what we have.
Some human monkeys will get mesmerized by shiny bling, which on an intellectual level is an equivalent to rubbing feces on themselves and flashing their teeth.
There's a painting from WWI, done by a German artist, can't remember the name, but it's like a portrait of your generic military general. You cannot see the body nor the face, it's all covered in hundreds of meaningless badges and medals.
We still see this bullshit today in any official picture from a Pyongyang parade, just look at the generals standing beside the "dear leader" or whatever they call him.
These stunted mindless grunts on the airplane are a reflection of man's failure to transcend the goddamned swamp from which we came.
I just got a little stuck on this part, because wouldn't the equivalent be people rubbing feces on themselves? I just mean that we can do that, too, is all.
