People eat, sleep, mate, defecate, relax (because you would waste limited energy), cheat on their partners, observe other people to gain knowledge about the hunter-gathering group to increase their evolutionary fitness (who is a strong man, who possesses resources). We are just monkeys.
Homo sapiens are also extremely territorial. They compete for everything: sexual partners, food, tools, social reputation, properties, jobs, stocks, money, and so on. In human society, nearly everything is about mating. Girls flaunt their make-up, luring males to invest scarce resources into them and their babies.
We, as great apes, are aggressive, live in hierarchies where dominant-submissive relationship prevails, have rituals, believe in superstitions.
Doctors, engineers, magisters as monkeys
Now imagine living in the remains of the Austro-Hungarian Empire where homo sapiens have a liking for academic titles. Yes, monkeys.
People at the high school I attended usually referred to each other as engineers, doctors, magisters and so on. They put their titles in front and after their name, no matter where it is – doorbell, your office, business card, everywhere. And, of course, they are monkeys.
People are grossly immoral, their morals make little sense, but they are highly intelligent. The g factor (IQ), however, doesn’t mean that every single mental process and eventual mental strategy result in perfect, truthful statements. Monkeys and giving perfect results of intelligence? Are you joking?
I respect human society such as I respect pigs. Both of them are animals.
Brutalized by university-educated monkeys
I was born severely mentally ill. And guess what? Monkeys (homo sapiens) around me were university-educated and did nothing. I am far from saying I had suffered the most. Imagine a North Korean man born in a concentration camp. Brutal conditions, beating, torture, sleep deprivation, severe mental and physical illnesses untreated. He may have escaped the camp, only found himself being a male prostitute and a modern human slave dependent on heroin in Germany.
This was not my case. My problems since cradle were depression, enormous anxiety, fear, stuttering (in such a severe manner I didn’t speak), social phobia, generalized anxiety, and schizoid traits. This all progressed into schizophrenia (no emotions, joy, psychosis).
People around me were university-educated: my mom (a pharmacist, thus a healthcare worker), grandmother (MD), aunt (engineer of economics), and uncle (technical engineer).
A child medical doctor, a child psychiatrist, a whole bunch of teachers, and educational and psychological counseling center workers. A university professor, and adult psychiatrist. I was standing still.
How brutalized I was and the non-existent free will
No matter how high formal education they had, nothing prevented me from being depressed, stuttering, anxious, fearful, extremely shy, and schizoid. The monkeys brutalized me to the point I was on the brink of suicide later on in my life (when suffering from schizophrenia).
Since I don’t believe in free will, I strongly believe that even in this deeply flawed moral system (contrary to utilitarianism), we have some moral obligations.
My other grandparents grew up in a culture where a child had a psychiatric problem they beat him or her. The culture is similar to the Middle Ages when was normal to attend execution for what we now consider brutal dismemberment and so on. They just grew up in this culture. But I still demand some action.
Conclusion
No matter what universities, titles, honors, and rewards they had, they were still monkeys. And despite I hadn’t been born in China, I still received no mental health care which made my childhood brutal.
