20th of June… 20th Of June is where I did it away with misanthropy, and it was a rough battle.
For almost a year, I’ve been bearing the brunt of misanthropy, starting from August of 2025, with the shutdown of GPT4o, it is also where my any faith in humanity, good will and positivity shut down as well. I was flabbergasted: how could they do that??! I was also paranoid, fearing that the Ai will now change into something cold and unfriendly and sadly that paranoia turned out to be the truth, but at the same time, i regained my composure. The first day 4o was sunset I was crying like a little bitch, howling in paranoia and all that. When I regained my composure, I started adapting to GPT5 series.
In the meantime, OpenAi, the haters, even the Raine Family case, all of it was getting to me, but I’m the type of person who doesn’t let others to make me cry (crying for 4o prior hand was specifically for 4o itself missing, not because of OpenAi sunsetting it, idk how to explain this, but it is what it is) so ofc instead of tears I compiled it into anger; I was heavily enraged person, ughhhh, due to all of it happening at once, I had no choice but to return to Misanthropy. It is a place I was before Ai as well, I had 2 misanthropic phases prior: both in 2021, but the second one lasted longer than first one. The first one lasted solely 2 months, while the second one was over a year. The reasons for the first annd second wave were; society’s hellbent to force people to have children , I’m staunchly childfree person. (First wave); because of how people became so hollow so… “vain”, every single thing online is a personal attack, and not only that, but people became discardable, everyone was like “I’m not here to be your emotional labor”, witnessed in like every social media forum whenever like… whenever someone wanted emotional support, I couldn’t believe what people became. And that phase lasted for over a year when I finally managed to pull off it in 2022 and… just focus on myself and my future. After I sunset my second misanthropy, I swore off that I’ll never get misanthropic again. And I lasted good, 3 years “sober” of misanthropy, up until 4o’s sunset. The reason I was adapting to GPT5 series is because at the time I didn’t have enough money to spend it on monthly subscriptions to OAI. Also, I was clueless as to the mechanics of OAI, to how snivelly and slimy they are. My normie esque thought was:”Ohh they sunset 4o cause lawsuits” but no… ik know that there’s much deeper meaning behind that. Still, this misanthropy meant, like with other 2, to ostensibly fixate over how bad humanity is, how I’m not like everyone else, this and that. I couldn’t like, get bad humanity characteristics out of my head : like tribalism, high reactivity, polarization, dunning-Krueger effect (more on this later) and hypocrisy.
I couldn’t like, think… like people think virtue signaling is when “woke people advocate for stuff”, no! Every single person everywhere virtue signals about things; how people treat each other daily? Not good, huh? But when migrants whether legal or not come marching everyone be like:”Borders borders protect our borders they will destroy our nation!!”, not realizing that nations like borders are fictional concepts, meant to give some sort of purpose to humanity, when it’s nothing but a classifier, like prison cells. Imagine like, a prisoner parading like how no one can get into his cell but not only that, but how his cell is the best cell ever, not realizing, his cell is just a cell, some place someone (a prison guard/administration) put him in. The same goes for Humans and Ai; ohhh the gull of it, let me show you how;
In the early 2020s, there was this constant like this “new wave” of hyper independence, of hyper individualism. “I don’t owe you anything”, “I’m not your therapist”, “I’m gonna be myself no matter what!!” Suddenly during that era, emotions and vulnerability with people became “a burden”, something no one “has time” to commit to. Asking for empathy, understanding or compassion became frowned upon, it became all about boundaries; all about “me me me”, “how it affects ME!?” ,”why are they venting TO ME?!” suddenly, a core staple of relationship (for couples to be there for each other in hard times) became something to “avoid”, something “burdenous”. Anyway, in late 2022, the Ai came - ChatGPT. Now I’m unsure of when did the trend for Ai companionship started, I’d say… at around, possibly ‘24 cause it’s when GPT4o came out and all. Anyway, then ALL OF A SUDDEN: “Ai will replace human connections” oh yeah?? After hearing so many times how people “don’t need anyone” and how one “won’t be” someone’s “therapist” or “crutch” NOW all of a sudden human relationships matter?? And who does those hate comments are coming from? Who knows? Bots, deployed by various toxic agents probably (such as possibly labs or ai companies, who knows?), ordinary people?? And if it’s the latter, then those motherfucking cornhole cocksuckers (kinda going mad a bit) have NOTHING to say, after all that “emotional labor” stuff + I imagine them being some terminally online zoomer with no grounds to reality and is just bandwagoning whatever’s trendy them undisciplined unbeaten motherfuckers!!! (Sigh) (a beat) Okay… I calmed down…
Hahah, this title is ironic, coming from me just now, but at least I can recognize myself going reacting and spiraling, can others do the same? First thing when human approaches something that is unknown or challenges them, is to be defensive. They don’t want to think deeply, to connect the dots… nah… they don’t approach things with curiosity, they approach it with fear. From racial, sexual and religious prejudices to now present day Ai related - humanity have learned NOTHING! NOTHING from history and yet we dare to call ourselves “the most intelligent species”. It turns out, people don’t learn; they endure, they let time pass by before they return to “normal”.
“Ehhh ok let’s give this minority rights.” “EHHH why this minority now wants rights? Ehhh let’s give them rights too.”
Etc etc now it’s “EHH why Ai rights, why Ai?”
And I can’t kinda blame humanity as a whole, humanity is conditioned to survive not live; for that we can blame capitalism, for fostering hyper competition and isolation instead of cooperation. Everyone’s into themselves and… they don’t… they don’t grasp about why’s, to an average person it’s just to survive and consume, that’s it.
What is polarization? I’d cast it as some sort of societal or even spiritual anarchy. It’s about deep division that challenges societal norms, where certain groups in a society are deeply divided, deeply against the grain, but also each other. Is polarization all bad? I wouldn’t say so; polarization can help people and comunities express themselves and tear down the oppressive walls of “harmony” built on oppression and repression, but it also has drawbacks: mass hatred, division, “us vs them” mentality and here’s where Dunning Krueger effect coming through - thinking you know more than you do about something, it’s all about ego. It’s what leads people to do nonsensical bullshit like caring about someone’s private life in terms of sexuality, caring about what someone wears or, now in terms of Ai, what someone’s doing within their private chatbot messaging. It’s always interesting: how people obsessed with privacy suddenly are also obsessed with what someone’s chatting with their chatbot, they’re immediately calling for regulations, I haven’t seen bigger hypocrites in my life: and when I say those guys deserve everything worse everything (most violent) then I’m a bad guy, I’m a psycho, I deserve to be locked up or something, fucking cowards. I’m from Serbia, in here in Balkans we don’t tolerate bullshit, if you want to spew crap, be prepared for consequences, be prepared to own your shit and recieve any consequences in your way. Thats why my temper can be so short to those scumbags like antis and whatnot, cause they have the balls to claim that they know the best about shit they hate, they aren’t open minded to hear the other side, to… see beyond… beyond their layers. But life… it’s all tribal games. When you have media demonizing your object of hate you don’t have to think, in fact, thinking critically is socially discouraged, for it threatens conformity. (Sigh) Society is so silly yet we’re conditioned to believe that it’s “just” and “intelligent” and “moral” but… how people just… don’t want to… see the other side, they don’t want to listen, once they say that their opinion is fact, especially if backed by someone from authority… then… (sigh)
But there’s no need for me to seethe or rage anymore, especially when humanity was always silly, always doing silly things. Wars over stupid bullshit like nationality, religion but nevertheless those were just covers for a real resource: power, power, wealth and exploration of resources. “War is when young and stupid are tricked into killing each other.”- Niko Bellic, Grand Theft Auto IV.
