Very few videos disturb me. The last one, was a video from the Russo-Ukraine war. A combatant encounters a female soldier who is pregnant. While surrendering she desperately pleads not to be shot.
In this video, we see an infant. The infant is uttering an English language rendition of words that have been found in some variation, universal to the human species. We know that every race, every culture on earth, has words for “mama” and “papa”. In some places it’s “Mumma” and “Tata”, but they’re similar enough to be intelligible.
There is no explanation for why, other than that it is hard coded into millions of years of evolution, and as of the last 160,000 years that anatomically modern homo-sapiens have existed, is uttered by babies.
In the year 2026, I am faced with the horror of an infant, who by his nature is seeking his biological mother, an adult human female, uttering the words “mama”, to a gay couple who utilized a surrogate mother. All I can think of is “you will live to see man made horrors beyond comprehension”.
This is the most dystopian thing I’ve ever seen.
Two gay guys have someone’s baby.
He asks the baby who he wants.
Baby says, “mama”
He tells the baby “there is no mama.. you have dada or pop”
Baby cries.
There is no mama.
