And depending on others only makes you weaker, emptier, and lost. You slowly forget yourself while trying to hold on to them. So don’t do that. Your insecurities are your responsibility.

“You know, intelligence is massively overrated as an adaptive trait. Seriously. Dinosaurs, pretty dumb, right? And yet they survived for a hundred and sixty-seven million years. And we, homo sapiens—geniuses by comparison—only have about 200,000 years so far. But with our huge cranial cavities, they're so small. We already have the capacity to annihilate ourselves. I doubt we even make it to one million. We don't rule the earth. We just think we do. I mean, sure, we're changing the environment but that makes us the ones to worry about—not the planet. When the earth gets tired of us, believe me, it will shake us off like a summer cold. Of all species that have existed on Earth, 99.99% of them are extinct.
Survival is a long shot.”
