It's funny in a way when you've seen so many people fall for every trick that, to me, just seems so obvious to me. There are times where I've wondered if I really am really human.
(Not so much in the sense of 'starseeds' or 'indigo children' or whatever hippie terms, but in the sense that my thought process on many topics is so drastically different from most that it seems 'alien')
There's also this passage from the Book of Jasher, which makes me wonder if genetic modification of plants, animals, and now humans is what is going to bring the second coming and destruction of the world by fire.
Jasher 4:18
And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.
Now, that's one segment I've struggled with beyond the more literal sense of separating out the good from the bad, and where the wheat and tares look too similar while growing to separate them out, but when it comes to harvesting they are more easily separated.
That said, I'm probably one of the last people who should comment on biblical stories / as a bible scholar.

Yes! I totally get that.
I've wondered a lot about the deeper meaning of the parable of the wheat and the tares.

Well, that's unsettling given what's been happening.
