We’re destroying our own habitat, not to mention the habitat of other life that isn’t actively burning the very ground beneath their feet, all out of sociopathy, greed, and ego. We’re competing against one another over ego scores as it all burns to see who can get the highest score before they have to retreat to their luxury bunkers, mischief managed.
The idea that our species will continue to gather to celebrate the supposed nobility of human competition, as our many self-created existential crises close in around us, is gallows hilarious.
Homeostasis and cooperation should have been humanity’s business, especially when the scientists started warning us of what we were doing about a century ago.
