Contrary to What You’ve Been Told, Humans are the Stupidest Species on the Planet.
What is the stupidest species on Planet Earth? Some might say that sloths are some pretty stupid animals. They’re slower than molasses, they’re lazier than I am on an executively dysfunctional day, and they sleep all the time. The worst part about this creature is that they often mistake their own limbs for tree branches, so when they try to grab for it, they fall and die. Yes, their biggest means of survival is hanging onto a tree branch.
Koalas are pretty stupid, too. They have the smallest brain of any mammal, which explains why they constantly eat the poisonous and difficult-to-digest eucalyptus leaves, have no sense of hygiene, and spread around various diseases. Oh, and their brains? They’re literally smooth. That’s why they can’t learn anything new, and that’s why they can’t learn that eucalyptus leaves aren’t good for them.
Ostriches and turkeys are also some stupid animals. Ostriches will literally push their heads to the ground and close their eyes when facing a threat, thinking that’ll make them invisible to others. Turkeys, on the other hand, only drink water dripping upward (whatever that means). That means every time it rains, they stare up at the sky for up to 30 minutes at a time or until they drown.
But, despite everything I’ve said, those aren’t the stupidest species on Earth. You wanna know what the stupidest species on Planet Earth is?
The answer is you. Well, it’s actually you and me. Well, it’s actually all approximately eight billion of us humans.
Yes, humans are the stupidest species on Planet Earth. You wanna know why? Well, I’ve got lots of reasons, and I’ll tell you why.
We’re gonna have to talk about politics here. Yes, I know. It’s the topic nobody wants to bring up, especially during family gatherings, and it’s the ugliest word in the English language. But it has to be brought up.
We humans are incredibly divided, and it’s all thanks to politics. Politics have been a huge topic for the best topic, especially after a certain man’s election into the job of president of the United States- two men, actually (back-to-back), and if you don’t fit perfectly into these two little boxes, then you’re pretty much politically homeless. We’ve practically separated ourselves into these extremely boxed-in tribes during the last two elections in the United States.
We all want peace, freedom, and for the government to let us be, but we have different ways of how we want those values. And those different ways are enough for us to get at each other’s throats. Rather than have a debate and try to see where the other person is coming from, we would much rather call them the enemy and make up ridiculous, stereotypical accusations about them.
Speaking of stereotypes, we have them against each other and even other animals. That’s probably we’re so tribal like a pack of wolves or a den of lions. I guess animals do this because they try to protect each other from predators, but here’s the thing. Humans are supposed to be smarter than that. It’s why we have advanced and complex brains, isn’t it? Yet, humans have and still to this day turn on each other for different skin tones. Imagine that! Discriminating against the same species you are because they look slightly different! That would be like a poodle being hostile towards a beagle just because the beagle was a beagle! Stupid, isn’t it?
Even without discriminating against each other for important reasons or something we can’t control, we still get at each other’s throats for stupid reasons. Remember the dress? Black and blue or yellow and gold? I was there. I have war memories of it when it exploded in early 2015. Friendships literally ripped apart because of a stupid illusion someone uploaded onto the internet. It’s not just friendships, either. Some couple in Japan literally divorced because one spouse didn’t like Frozen. Yes, Frozen- the Disney movie.
No other species does this. Other species don’t tear at each other’s throats because of a different political stance or because they didn’t like a kid’s film. And those are the reasons why humans are the stupidest species on the planet Earth.
