      But it’s true, I only need a photo such as that one to demonstrate that humans are essentially evil and terrible. All the evidence I need to prove it is right there.

        By the same logic, if I were to show you a photo of a child kissing a puppy, you’d be able to “demonstrate” that all humans are children and essentially loving and caring creatures? That logic is not logic-ing, friend

        I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, so I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. But if not, that is almost a textbook example of spurious reasoning, and I’d ask you to really consider your logical process.

          There are people out there who are closer to animals than humans when it comes to intelligence. While they have the benefit of speech thanks to the benefits of being raised in a society, there is very little logical thought. They go through life bouncing from one base emotion to the next, never taking the time to examine why they feel the way they do, or considering if others might feel the same or differently.

          These are bottom tier intelligence people; the ones that exist in the overlap between the dumbest humans and the smartest animals. The kind of people who could be outsmarted by a crow. They walk among us. They work jobs. They vote. They drive. It’s terrifying.
