Keep us assessing each other on unnatural irrelevant factors, placing us in hierarchies, selling us dreams that turn our hope into fake lives.

Imagine if you were born to a primitive people, The nihilists might be repulsed at the thought, but the group identity had to take priority over the individual, resulting in an intense sense of belonging, with the group thoroughly needing most every individual for sheer survival.

I remember learning of a people, I think it was in 'central america', that had a group based justice system. If a person from one group harmed a person from another, a person who cared most for both the harmed and the harmer was chosen to hear the telling of events. That person decided how the harming group would make restitution. The group was responsible for the behavior of all.

Imagine if that kind of justice system were applied in civilization.

I say 'fuck expectations' when people say there's no use in trying to help heal remaining wild habitat. That's the only time I hope beyond hope.
