It always saddens me how much of human history is lost because our ancestors didn't lock in and invent writing sooner. I find myself grieving over the fact that we'll never conclusively know how early Homo sapiens and other human ancestors lived. What did they really think about their cave paintings? Were they made for entertainment or as a teaching tool, or maybe something deeper? What about their oral stories, were they actually any good? Did they have roast threads back then too? Why didn't they paint faces? You'd think we'd have found a Neanderthal soyjak by now.

These are the questions that plague my mind when the lights are out. How about you?

Also there's a ferret living in my ceiling that scuttles around late at night and it keeps me up too.
fair enough I'm much more curious about what's going inside the mind of a dog, a cat , that ferret and all animals? tThey're right in front of us,, yet light years apart. we are understimating their consciousness, I believe , and their ability to feel and handle emotions, idk if it is our subconscious looking down on them bc most are food ,less intelligent( human standards) , or because we are savages by nature and don’t care enough but it really gets into my head.
btw I'm eating fish right now, the irony

Animal consciousness is also super fascinating to me. Sometimes I wonder whether or not our pets actually like us. However, I think "lobsters feel pain" is just propaganda to make you feel bad for arthropods. We humans are simply a higher existence compared to them, so we really shouldn't feel bad. Undermining that superiority is undermining our humanity. Yeah, sure, it starts with lobsters, but what's next? Mosquitoes feel pain? Liberal propaganda.

Also, regarding fish:

What if the universe is just a single cell of an even bigger n-dimensional being and our universe is at the arse-end? What if our whole existence is just the butt-end of some multiversal joke? And where did I put my sleeping and anti-paranoia pills?

How the universe is at its core perfectly spaced out nothingness.

Reading, insomnia, and the knowledge that there are folks out there who are suffering because I have not done my best to help them.

i probably gamed too much that i forgot the time, at some point it even went as bad as 2 or 3 AM. but usually i just try to sleep around 11 PM to 12 AM every night. staying up too late really makes me feel bad when i had work the next day.

Well i think couldn't simply begin writting while living in caves, but still we have some paintings and other strange signs, that could tell us more about their way of life at least

When I was young, I was called a genius prodigy, so I never put in any work, I just grabbed the results. But as I got older, I saw all the people that were once worse than me become way better, because they were putting in effort. I spent a long time, way too much, being angry and sad because I had fell off. I now am at an age where I should have already reached stability, but instead I have to learn how to put effort into everything I do, and reach the goals I had set for myself when I was younger.

Existential dread of 'I could have been the best if I had started working earlier, and now I have to start from the bottom. I ruined everything'.

Yay !
It also doesn't help that everything was a lot easier to do not even half a century ago.

As for me, I have a huge procrastination problem, I can't go to sleep unless I wait for this one specific novel chapter too update at like 12pm(Know this writer!!), Another one is that I like to keep surfing the web a lot at night catching up on all the YT creators so there's that.

Saw a guy and a fish on YT having fun, the guy would lift it into the air and throw it a little away, when that would happen the little fish would always swim back into his hand again. It's those moments that make me wonder are fish like dogs?
