We pretty much explored the entire planet (I know there’s a ton of the ocean we know nothing about, but let me finish).
So now the frontier to be explored is the interior of the human mind.
People who explore their inner selves and discover that they are trans or queer or some combination come out into society and say “Hey, here’s what I found, and I like what I found, and I want to share it with the world.”
And then there’s a chunk of humanity that looks inward and they do not like what they find. They find smallness and cruelty and vanity and emptiness and vulnerability and fear and confusion and a lot of things that they are not prepared to deal with, and so they turn outwards and they make life a living hell for the rest of us, rather than expend even a little effort to introspect and deal with the mysterious unexplored wilderness within their own minds.
Fuck those motherfuckers. Do the work. Figure out what you do and don’t like about yourself and then use that to make the world a better place. Fuckin’ hunkered-down-in-Plato’s-cave-ass motherfuckers.

I don’t think we should give up on space just yet.
Also, this whole exploring-your-mind thing would be a lot easier if mushrooms were legal.
