Starting the anti-vaccine conspiracy would have been too cruel. I think any young punk would be grounded for a century for pulling that off.
Instead, I’m pretty sure humans are the only species capable of such self destructive behavior and aliens can only gasp in horror as we throw ourselves into the fire.
Also, climate change denial … oh, that’s just next level stupidity. No need to bring the doomlaser here. This species will be done sooner or even sooner. Maybe try planting a smarter species here next time around?

Surely, if something/someone intentionally caused our existence, they must be pulling out clumps of hair at this point (or equivalent gestures).
Although… well, this is purely speculative and quite a bit philosophical, but I guess it all comes down to how they’d manage fear and greed. I initially wanted to say that viciousness seems to be a facile trait for sentience, but I only have us as a sample, so…
I genuinely don’t even know what to think anymore. My sense of scale and value has been completely shattered by our contemporary debasement with Fascism and burning the planet and everything in between and around, not in a million years could I have believed humanity in general could be so stupid as to do the same horrid shit all over again, and especially not after our forerunners’ fervency of purging the very concept of Fascism. I mean, how can anyone consider a governing system so unabashedly inimical to life as a feasible way of doing things?! I… I just don’t understand it. I don’t know if I’m too stupid, or too naïve, or cloistered, or whatever the fuck else, but I just cannot process the idea of anything which looks like me behaving in such a horrid manner. I can grasp that capacity for violence, because I have it, too, but to use it in such a manner? No. That’s where my system hangs.

Maybe humans are an experiment to see what happens if you combine infinite greed and selfishness in the same species. Sounds like a recipe for a total disaster, but it could be interesting to watch how the whole thing implodes at some point.

My morbid tendencies are fascinated by the idea, but I, myself, can’t help but feel like staring at an incoming tsunami crest.
