humans began as a poor but barely acceptable design. obviously.

the design is not perfect. we all know that.

people sometimes want to escape the awfulness.

others degrade them for their wanting/needing to be honest.

we've created a mess. even the religionists who walk amongst us know that.

the original design was as good as possible, but it wasn't for certain given the availability of raw materials.

let's get past the "i am the Master of my Life" bs. shall we?
