Stupidity, retardness, ignorance, gullible, naive ..and in general completely unsuited to speak about things that require just an ounce of intellect!

And if they do have something else, something deeper, and you don't like it, you tell them to shut up.
I guess your ideal world is very silent.

To the subject:
People are either full of themselves or of political correctness. It's becoming nausiating.

No, in my ideal world people are actually intelligent like my buddies with 135++ IQ, like security IT chief of all national banking, consultant of danish national bank, then lots of microchip engineers etc etc, VERY intelligent people contrary people around here!

One angle: Organs, bones, muscles, blood, catalytic fluids, connective tissue and unexpelled waste.

Another angle: The average adult human body is comprised of Water (35 L), Carbon (20 kg), Ammonia (4 L), Lime (1.5 kg), Phosphorous (800 g), Salt (250 g), Saltpeter (100 g), Sulfur (80 g), Fluorine (7.5 g), Iron (5 g), Silicon (3 g) and fifteen traces of other elements.

Another angle: A metabolism with a controlling nervous system.

Another angle: (Plato's) - earth, fire, water, air and space.

Another angle: We are full of energy and information.

We are full of microbes.

Yes, we do tend to hassle each other about adherence to accepted social and political rules of engagement because we are always keen to tweak and improve our fellow humans - smooth off the ole rough edges.

Another angle: Cold water fishin'.
Another angle: Cold fission.
Another angle: hit fashion.
Another angle: cold deuterium fusion.
Another angle: hot oil facials.

Well, like geological forces, hassling other humans is a double-edged sword too. In geology, you have things that make mountains and valleys form; other forces exist that make the mountains crumble, and the valleys fill up, sorta equalizing. In societal geology, if I may continue the simile, there are forces that create schisms and differences and peaks and troughs; and there are other forces that tend to equalize some aspects. The former are religions, tribalism, envy, jealousy and greed; also the right to disseminate one's own DNA to the detriment of other people. The latter includes, taxing the rich and giving to the poor, public education, affordable transportation and medicare, clusterfuck, iPhones for everyone, lingua franca.

Sounds about right to me, 1.

It appears that each play a role in creation, even if the former is damnably inconvenient. As the Hindus et al noticed, destruction is an essential part of construction. It's often not pretty but somehow seems to work out one way or another.

An angle learned early on that can get caught-up in personal revolutions required for evolutions:

What are little boys made of?
What are little boys made of?
Frogs and snails,
And puppy-dogs' tails;
That's what little boys are made of.

What are little girls made of?
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice,
And all that's nice;
That's what little girls are made of.

Folks are full of ordinary trying to be special. Funny thing, because in time ordinary becomes very special.

Very wise. Also the other way around: Special becomes ordinary. In my childhood only huge governments had computers. In mankind's infancy only a few could make fire.
