Description
I've always had a lot of questions. Like, why does everyone say, "We're just human"? Like it is some sort of verbal stain remover. Or, "Things change"? As if it were an absolution and a reprieve rather than a self-defeating proposal. The Golden Rule, as far as I can see, is, "Don't get caught" - to the bitter end. Or, "That's just life"? Like it is some sort of all purpose cleaner. Of course, the central question was always why is mankind so very screwed up? Then it hit me....

Summary
This is a speculative non-fiction account of humanity.

Excerpt
This stunning difference between human and animal completely befuddled our primitive ancestors and still takes modern humans by surprise, disabling our ability to don the mantle of our sentience. It leaves us baffled and deceived. A sentient endeavor is required that will transform all of mankind like a butterfly leaving its cocoon.
