I think the thing I hate most in this world (besides Americans with below average intelligence) are people who think sharks are monsters. They are not out to kill us. They don't want to kill us. They don't even like killing us. We are not their food. All attacks are mistakes. There are lots of reasons people get bitten, but none of them are predatory attempts to kill people. If they ARE attempting to kill a person, they have not realized that person is a person. Sharks will attack if there is blood, chum, or vomit in the water, if you are wearing bright colors, if the water is murky, if you are splashing, if it is dawn, dusk, or night, if you provoke them, if they mistake you or part of you for prey, etc. No shark is attacking a human because they know it's a human. If they are attacking a human, they think we are something else. ALWAYS. Yes people die, yes it is bad, but sharks are not monsters. Humans are monsters. We kill 100 million of them every year and they kill 10 of us maximum every year. We are killing the sharks, we are killing other animals, we are destroying habitats, and we are even killing each other in huge numbers. Don't fear sharks. You should be much more afraid of what people will do to you than what sharks will. Humans will be extinct in 50 years tops, and it is because of ourselves. We started the sixth mass extinction over a century ago, but lately we have sped it up exponentially. The dinosaurs didn't die in a day. It took centuries too. And we are killing everything much faster than any of the other mass extinctions killed creatures. Humans are the monsters. If you don't believe that we are killing ourselves and our planet, you are part of the problem. And guess what? By default, that belief, along with your other beliefs, puts you in that below average intelligence category. But I guess the ignorance in believing humans will exist much longer than we will keeps you happier. The ignorant and stupid lead happier lives, because they have no clue how messed up the world actually is. I am burdened with knowing how screwed we are.
And I am tired of watching videos about sharks, because the comments are always extremely negative and framing sharks as villains, as if they are the most dangerous animals on the planet. They are not even close. If you want to fear an animal, why not fear domestic cats? After all, they transmit toxoplasmosis to humans, and one of the symptoms is being sexually attracted to cats. Here's the kicker: 2016 data estimates that 30-50% of all humans have toxoplasmosis. If you want a source: Cat Wars. Read it. It's a very good book.
