a peep into my shit

Why have a mind? What to do with it?
Do I need it to make stupid assumptions, prejudices and shit that even animals are too smart to practice?
If we want to prove that different races exist people would have to differ in more extensive gene patterns than their skin color. Genetics haven’t discovered any connection between genes that determine complexion and any other gene pattern.
Gene diversity has little to do with race: 85% of differences in human genes exist in differences between people living in the same country; another 5 – 10% are differences between individuals living in the same continent within the same “race”.
In general people are more genetically homogenous than other species. For example genetic variations between snails in Pyrenean valleys are bigger than genetic variations between English people and Australian natives.
So what divides us? What makes us so different? Culture, language? They are all human products. Everything we invent destroys us. Jinxed.

But what about the things we "invented" that brings us together? Bridges those gaps so to speak....

true. but those things meant mixturing different people, i'm all for that, but that meant comparing different races and then discrimination. as you said there is or was the eros instinc-the instinct of love, herd instinct that drives people together, but lately tanatos the instinct of destruction has more power.
hm i don't know i always have this pesimistic view of life, it was nice of you to remind me of the good stuff ;)
