Humans really are brilliant.
Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the irony that will bury us all.
Here's an idea.
However, not all humans are interested in militaristic masochism.
Here's a (nother) word from Kalle Lasn, the smartest teeth-gnasher of our age, who's out to expose the destroyers.
"TV sexuality is a campaign of disinformation, much like TV news. The truth is stretched, the story is hyped. If you look like a TV star or a model, a desirable mate will be available to you; if you don't, it won't. Try telling me that living with that message your whole life hasn't changed the way you feel about yourself.
Growing up in an erotically charged media environment alters the very foundations of our personalties. I think it distorts our sexuality. It changes the way you feel when someone suddenly puts their hand on your shoulder, hugs you, or flirts with you through the car window. I think the constant flow of commercially scripted pseudosex, rape and pornography makes us more voyeuristic, insatiable and aggressive."
