My imagination makes me a human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.

a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered
It's especially alarming considering how many bugs there are out there. Like 2.5% doesn't feel like a lot, but there's about 30 million species and an estimated 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) insects alive rn. So that's 250 quadrillion (250,000,000,000,000,000) insects being lost.
For comparison, there are only 8.3 billion (8,300,000,000) humans alive right now. If 2.5% of that population was lost, we would lose 207.5 million (207,500,000). Which is still a lot, but only about one billionth of the loss we are seeing currently in bug populations.
That's not even mentioning how vital these creatures are to the ecosystem. The spiders and tarantulas that scare you eat the mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, roaches, and sometimes mice that bother you so much. The mosquitoes are a huge food supply to all manner of insectivores. Frogs, spiders, lizards, etc. A collapse of the mosquito population would lead to further collapse of other populations and possibly whole ecosystems. Roaches are detrivores that feed on dead or decaying material, speeding up the decomposition process. Without them, it would take much longer for material to decay into viable nutrients for soil. Not to mention the absolute ecosystem collapse that would occur due to pollinators being suddenly gone.
one time I told my therapist "I tend to have issues with people who think of themselves as authority figures" and she burst out laughing and then said "I think we need to pause and reflect on how you phrased that"
I mean, what, was I supposed to refer to them as if they actually are authority figures? those don't exist
y'all are doing some weird discourse on this post. no that therapist doesn't need to be "investigated" lmao. she didn't say I was wrong, she reacted because the phrasing was specific as fuck and revealed a lot about my worldview which is totally reasonable to want to explore.

My two yr old is looking through a book about prehistoric art and she saw a picture of those cave painting of hands and she held up her own and said "hand!" And I gotta be honest. That hit
Oh my god, this reminds me of the childrens garden of our local botanical garden. There’s one section that’s called the prehistoric lives garden or smth, and it’s full of native plants that indigenous people 2000 years ago would have eaten and used as medicine, etc. And within this little garden, there’s an adobe style playhouse, which for some reason (probably lighting reasons) has no roof, which means the rusty red dirt floor is often quite muddy.
And this series of events has led to my favorite interactive art piece ever.
Handprints.
Little tiny handprints at the bottom. Big teenager and adult sized handprints at the top. Handprints upon handprints upon handprints, a modern day continuation of an ancient tradition.
Most of the people who contributed were probably doing so because they thought it would be fun, not for any deep philosophical reason. Heck, you can tell based on the height of the larger handprints that their owners were having a jumping competition. They didn’t think about the fact that they were creating art in the exact same way the earliest humans created art. They didn’t think about the fact that humans have always been and will always be humans, and the ways we interact with each other and the world have always stayed the same in the most important ways.
But I did. I thought about it. And I am in love with humanity all over again.

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.
Unfortunately our society is run by people with high ambition, and they've decided that ambition is the only human quality that really matters. Compassion, creativity, knowledge, patience... None of those matter to The Powers That Be, only the pursuit of wealth and power. Sure, those things can be helpful in the service of ambition, but they're useless on their own.
