This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is this the anthropological equivalent of cultural relativism? "Yeah maybe we got to mars but Grog figured out how this berry makes him shit a lot and that's an equivalent accomplishment!"
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I believe that either:
I believe we shouldn't underplay the "over the shoulder of giants" effect, if you are able to engineer a rocket without worrying about starvation/diseases/etc it is because your ancestors have figured all of that out (and it is absolutely not simple to figure things out without someone holding your hand and teaching you)
The distinction is outcome vs intent. No one is arguing Grog didn't have the best of intent when he conducted his cross-country dissertation in shit berries. He shit his little heart out. But no matter how many unstable berries he sampled, his accomplishment pales in comparison with reaching Mars. And one day, sending a rover to Mars will pale in comparison to faster than light travel.
