On Stereotypes

Nowadays, they're always telling you never to stereotype anybody, to stop the hate and the hate speech and the hate crimes, and a lot of this usually has to do with stereotyping. In general, they say "Don't do it." Because you never really know a person until you actually know them. Well, here's the thing. human minds were brought up to stereotype. If you mentally are incapable of putting things into categories, you are often put into special ed because there is something wrong with your brain. However, once you start putting humans into categories, people start frowning at some of the things you say and then call you a hater. But the thing is, by trying to suppress stereotyping, you're trying to suppress a natural mental function which people are taught to use carefully all the way from the womb. That's why stereotyping is so easy. And the thing with stereotypes is they always have some truth to them. They may have a lot or they may have a little, but they wouldn't exist if they didn't have any. That asians are good at math and science, that blondes are dumb, that people from Northeastern Europe generally have blonde hair and blue eye, that people from Africa are black. Now, obviously there are millions and millions of exceptions to these stereotypes. But at the same time there are probably millions and millions more who do fit the stereotype. For me, I know for all of these stereotypes, I have seen more examples of people who fit the stereotype than I have seen exceptions. So I wonder what that really says about people and society in general. Perhaps we are fighting for a lost cause.

On Incest

Ok, so there's this thing called incest, and I didn't even know what incest was until pretty recently when I read about it in this book and I had to look it up. But apparently everyone makes this big hullabaloo about incest. And yes, I did just say hullabaloo. And the reason they make such a hullabaloo is because incest is unnatural. Yet, at the same time, everyone right now is also making a big hullabaloo about gay rights. And they are supporting it, they are saying we should stop hating on gay people. Gayness is, shall we say, "in vogue". Now, right about now, I feel like I have to state something. No, I am in no way against gay rights or gay people or lesbians or anything gay at all. (See that's the thing, whenever you start talking about some groups which are often discriminated against, automatically people start listening intently to you, and more often or not, they only listen yo see whether you support these groups or you don't, and if you do, then you are a fine, supportive American who doesn't discriminate at all. If you do, you are automatically rascist or sexist or prejudiced or any of the above. Well, why is that? That is really a stereotype in and of itself.) So yes, I was talking about gayness and incest. I believe it is moderately safe to say that in basic animal behavior, gayness is not natural. And neither is incest. But somehow, incest is looked upon with shocked disgust while if a person pronounces themselves gay, they seem to actually feel better about themselves. Not in the sense that they feel liberated because they're finally out of the closet type thing. No, they feel more confident about themselves than the normal person does. They feel like once they have pronounced that they are gay, they no longer are bound by social conformism to be just a part of the crowd. Because once they've taken that step, they never really are a part of the crowd ever again. And that in itself is pretty liberating. Now, incest. They say "You can't decide who you'll fall in love with." And this is often said when talking about gaydom, but why not for something like incest. Well first of all, for family members, it's already assumed that you love them, just not in that way unless you are married. Plus, often incest happens in the form of rape, or at least in the book I read about it. Well, rape is a pretty substantial criminal offense. Gayness obviously isn't.
Love itself isn't even that natural either. But then, neither are humans and then you have to ask yourself what natural really means. But you look at any other animal. Can you honestly say that they can understand love or do they just feel familiarity. For two animals to mate, do they just do it because they have natural instincts to reproduce or because they actually feel love for each other. Or perhaps love for them is completely different from love for us, as they do not have the capacity for cognitive thinking, although even then this assumption is today being disproven. Maybe they do feel love yet their instincts and sense of survival always have to overpower it. Humans don't generally have much survival instincts anymore because they simply don't need them; we're never hunted by anything except for ourselves. Maybe if the dinosaurs had gone on, they would have developed cognitive thinking and all the emotions and capabilities humans have and can think and feel, since they were never being hunted, they would eventually lose their primitive instincts and start to create and learn and then their brains would develop to the point where they may have someday been even more advanced mentally, technologically, etc. than humans are today. Just a thought.
