Suddenly great whites don't seem so scary by comparison

Well it takes getting hit in the face for that thing to react …. so maybe its not so scary.

Do you normally swim at say, anywhere below 100 feet? Because Goblin Sharks are deep fishies. You should probably still fear a Great White more. Or Orca's. Man, I love Killer Whales - I'm a West Coast soul - but they've been getting increasingly aggressive, or maybe it's just the abundance of cameras in the world right now. Either way...
I forgot my point.

And we literally don't even know the half of it, yet we're killing 'em off at alarming speeds.
I hate that the human condition is, "We remember this and it's demise was a terrible thing." Paired with, "But we aren't going to save these things we're killing now... we'll remember their loss as a shame though."
We're pretty dumb animals, despite all our trickery.

On the other hand, maybe we'll invent star-ships and start to harvest distant planets because, I mean, once we get to the point that we can start consuming resources at that kind of prodigious rate I don't think that blue-breasted lesser reticulated spring spotted sparrow sharks are really all that relevant. Know what I mean?

That is so bizarre and unnatural looking in that "hasn't evolved for 100 million years" kinda way. Sometimes I wish I could be a deep ocean explorer. It might as well be an alien planet. Makes you wonder what other bizarre creatures we haven't stumbled upon down there.

You seem grumpy today. You're right, of course, but grumpy.

People forget that the way we live on this planet now, in a post agricultural world, is but a tiny fraction of how we've existed on this planet. People accept as certain incompatibilities those which aren't and we will consume our daily lives with the minutia of that which truly does not matter. We are a singularly aware and capable species but we are also the greatest threat to our own existence.
I love my cars, my television and my central heating but would that I did not know of these things would I be just as happy with my deer-hide clothes, my atlatl's and bows and knowing how to truly maintain my existence and that of those around myself?
In parts of the world where people should breed and should reproduce, they don't while in those parts of the world already stressed by human occupation they breed with abundance. In parts of the world where pollution is less then 1% of the global concern we obsess about electric, driver-less, hemp built cars while those areas responsible for far higher percentages do nothing.
We are a brilliant, unstoppable force. Yet we are also that unmovable force against which it crashes.
I have struggled with my perception of existence for as long as I can recall and now that I have a young daughter, I struggle with increased ferocity. Alas, I do not believe any one person can truly change the world, not any more.
Oh, and as a Canadian, watching the United States go down the path it's on I cannot help but remember my good friend as she watched her brother throw her life away with drugs and general badness. Apropos of nothing.

I don't have enough stars to give for this particularly awesome late 80s flashback, but I thank you. (If you were referring to Ian Hunter's original, then you're way cooler than me*, because I had no idea who Ian Hunter was when I heard Great White do it.)
*You may be way cooler than me for other reasons too, but I am trying to stay on topic.

Quoting Hunter's cover was much safer than making a "scared of club fire" joke.
I also, didn't know it was cover when it was in heavy rotation. I thought it was just a shitty 4 bar blues song they recorded to try to cash in on the Georgia Satellites success.

I had forgotten about the club fire. Wow, that's actually been awhile, hasn't it? But yeah, good call on that.

Thanks! It always gets cut off at "... between his legs and" on my screen and I find myself wondering if people still know the song or just think I'm a perv.
