El Grande Mysterioso Thinks Deeply Upon Misanthropy
Anthropologians are continually asking El Grande Mysterioso for his thoughts on mankind (they often ask for his thoughts on invented words too, but he is no coiner of inkhorns). His reply is consistent - he hates you all. Don’t get El Grande Mysterioso wrong, he has nothing against you personally. You just come from a sucky species. He has the charts to prove it.
El Grande Mysterioso does not usually like to employ the services of arbitrary systems of morality - as Derrida may have once said, “it’s all relative, baby!” - but if it’s good enough for Joe ‘Pope Benedict XVI’ Ratzinger, it’s good enough for this tawdry excuse for an opinion piece.
As we can clearly see, on the scale of human behaviour we are most of us in the middle. The worst people’s names begin with H (Hitler, Huntley), the best with G (Ghandi, Geldof), and all the rest are good and cuddly.
But on the inter-species chart of behaviour the picture is less joyful. Humans are at the very worst extreme, while penguins, dolphins, giraffes and leprechauns reside at the positive end. We are the yob culture of nature, or so would say ITV News if were it not so clearly pro-human. O yes, El Grande Mysterioso can never forgive mankind for its crimes, the worst of which is undoubtedly the existence of the aforementioned ITV.
El Grande Mysterioso names his sources responsibly: Derrida, Jacques, 1972. Plato’s Pharmaceuticals. Available in libraries or book depositoriums! |

| In my role as El Grande Mysterioso's laywer and general enforcer, I have been asked to emphasise that El Grande Mysterioso speaketh not outside the context of his column, so he cannot answer your questions. On a personal note, I would point out that misanthropy just means you hate humanity, it doesn't mean you have or should have a 'solution' for their existence. |

Meh i wasn't critisising necessarily. I mean you could argue that the human race is too numerous, and that we need to cull a few billion humans. Not that I am arguing this you understand.

| There are too many academic anthropologists and not enough misanthropologists. |

What's an anthropologist? And why would he or she be acedemic?

| Anthropology is the academic study of the human species. |
