        Before there were ships, there were horses.

        And I know what you’re going to say. Yeah, but before there were horses there wer-NO. Nothing existed before horses, and I’ll hear no more of that slander anti-horse talk.

      Yeah, prehistoric life is sometimes portrayed as simplistic, skipping the fact that hunter-gatherers knew the landscape and all plants, grasses and animals for kilometres around. Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel ‘Shaman’ does a decent job of depicting what life in those times might’ve been like.

      Granted, I instead memorize my city’s streets and organization of my computer stuff.

      Some people are broken. They’re the narcissists and psychopaths and people who refuse to address their trauma(having trauma is fine, doing nothing about it and making it everyone else’s problem is less so) who we keep handing power to for some fucking reason.

        “Those who seek power, rarely deserve it. And those who deserve it, rarely seek it.”
