the real hard part of making a milestone for humanity isn't the research it's putting it together, and then convincing people of it without them killing you or shaming you in to living your twilight in misery because they didn't want to deal with the shit you had to say for a few hundred years and rather bitch and moan about the mistakes than appreciate the whole

#thinking about how people criticised the shit out of marx over putting a timefram eon his shit #dude. mans writes the fucking manifesto and all you can say is 'it didn't happen exactly when and how he said it would what a fraud'#plucking my feathers thinking about it alNDFSNKJSFNKJDS #sometimes you realise that people need to wash their hands when you're 6 and then you spend the next 20 years #figuring out how to tell them that without making them want to kill you or drive you insane or ruin your career or all of the above or #handwashing is a metaphor for any 'small' thing that proceeds to be a fucking monumental task to install in the collective #anyway then peopoel who only thought to wash hands because you said it make a citadel full of guys washing their hands and patting eachothe #on the back for being so smart but they never set aside time to think about how to deal with the next handwashing guy #so when he comes along they still surround him and start beating him up. and then wondering to the air if they've grown if they've learned #anything. the answer is no. you try to tell them that and the circle descends on you like piranhas #it was you you were the next handwashing guy #now we just gotta wait another 200 yea---#scraps
