Dawkins:
I think it's a false opposition. I think you can be both right and happy
Gary:
It is just bullshit to say that there's no work to be done here, that playing the role of guardian and janitor is gona be fun, because it's not gona be fucking fun.
and that's the whole fucking problem with this planet there's too many people looking to say "where's mine? where's the fun part?"
no, it's not gona work out that fucking way
that's why this place is gona turn into an even bigger pile of shit soon
"there's nothing unpleasant about reality and evolution as a truth" ~paraphrasing dawkins
it's just such a pile of shit
it's an incredibly disappointing origin. consumption and reproduction for no purpose. what fucking good could come of that? it's fucking dangerous as hell
you know, a little monster that just consumes and reproduces, with no brain, no ethics, no anything, that's a bastard origin, and to say that's some sort of pleasant thought is bullshit
the prospect that we have no control over the future, there's no automatic happily ever after, there's no God, Fairy Godmother, all that kind of shit. it's a little bit of a downer
it's sort of a false premise: "we can all be perfectly happy with the truth"
no, because that truth: evolution, then all the responsibility's imposed on us: the only intelligent, truly intelligent organism on the planet
biggest brother, so to speak, or whatever you wana call it. we're the eldest. the most mature
and so we've got to take responsibility, we've got to do all the babysitting, we've got to do all the cleaning up of the messes
it's the automatic logical consequence: we have to clean up the evolutionary mess
we're going to have to do things that are going to be inherently unpleasant because yeah, we are a bunch of apes running around on this planet and all these apes can't do whatever the fuck they want
so somebody has to stop them, even though they'd rather be contemplating the universe or doing some other bullshit, they're gona have to deal with these real world problems of all this human conflict created because we are fucking goddamn monkeys
monkeys with big giant guns
and so it's just bullshit
another one of these blanket endorsements of 4 billion years of animals eating eachother like "oh, look at the splendor of it"
"evolution's a benign and wonderful process because it creates silly humans who think they're accomplishing something when they build little pointy things in the desert. you know, they get all gooey and that's good enough for a thousand year war"
it doesn't fill you full of joy and happiness to realize: we're insatiable little consuming and reproducing monsters and that's what we are, we're selfish little bastards
that's the reality, that's the truth and it seems you people are running just as fast from it as the religious fuckers
you're just running to different arms
you're running to the arms of "The Beautiful Universe" and they're running to the arms of "The Loving Jesus"
same difference
