Humans are, by and large, awful, and I don't think we're really gonna work out in the long run.
But language.
Human language is such a glorious thing, it almost redeems us as a species.

Consider the myriad ways to say "stupid". The whole "Eskimos have 30 words for snow" thing is bullshit. The Inuit have slightly more words to describe different kinds and feels of snow than the average midwesterner. Slightly. But if it *were* true, surely, the ways in which we can say "stupid" would tell us all a great deal about our society.
