| “ | It starts with fear. Yeah. Humans. Humans fear the unknown. And there is nothing more unknowable than us. As a species... oh, we're unpredictable. We're cruel. Especially when we're trying to survive. Yeah. The Greeks said it best. "There is much to fear in this world... but nothing more so than humans." | „ |
