Is it weird being afraid of humanity?

Let's add a little bit more to the hypothesis. We are growing a pyramid, which is supposed to distribute wealth to humans, but the top of the pyramid is acting greedy with resources. When the pyramid is turned around, the mass collapses under it's own weight

I feel like we're advancing way too fast.

Seriously? Lol. Wake me when people figure out how to get from one place to the other without trampling each other to death.

Take away the tools of bloodshed and what do you have? Fancy steam engines and glorified pagers. No big whoop. Oh and I guess spacecraft that work. Most of the time. Undoubtedly to be used for more bloodshed at a later date.

It's weird to use a gerund after an adjective

It's not weird to rephrase "Is [doing something] [adjective]?" as "Is it [adjective] [doing something]?"

Misanthropy seems quite natural in these times.

Our growth has never been in our hands. At best we have been negotiators in it; perhaps it's possible to say that we are getting worse at doing so.

Lets talk about overpopulation and technological advancement. Days are blending, consciousness is increasing, We all act based on a single argument, which is, Money either has value, or doesn't have value. Simplest way to interpret universe, a Bit. Ones and zeros.

It would collapse global economy, just like that. Are we sure we want to rely on it? Shouldn't we have more say in it?

No, that's normal.

Reply to Professor Death Well that's what Yozhura did.

"Is [being afraid of humanity] [weird]?" --> "Is it [weird] [being afraid of humanity]?"

"Is [being afraid of humanity] [weird]?" --> "Is it [weird] [being afraid of humanity]?"

They did the second, which is super weird.

Language is weird. It is but a way, to transmit data between us, which has been divided due to individuality.

There are many underlying issues related to being afraid of humanity and of course it is questionable whether being classed as wierd is in itself a bad thing. If you are implying that by being wierd is about difference, maybe conformity is not such a bad thing.
One main issue that I can see is that the pressures of life in the twenty first century are that the people are expected to juggle so many stresses and perform to such a great level. Life has become so fast and competitive.
I live in London and notice on a daily basis how inconsiderate of others people can be in fighting their own corners. Of course, we do need to stand up for ourselves but the way in which people bully and intimidate others often makes me want to hide away in a corner. I am indeed frightened about the way humanity is becoming, especially more so as individuals become more like robots. I would much rather be wierd, but do continue to seek out other wierd free spirits.

The amount of humans required to do a simple task is quite a large amount.

This is odd. The amount of humans required to do any task is surely shrinking.

I think it would be weirder if you weren't afraid [of humanity]. It's probably unlikely that we're the only ones capable of snuffing out all life on earth but we're certainly on the list of possible causes of planetwide mass extinction.

But humanity is growing, while our need for work is shrinking.
