Humanity in its entirety is like a single celled blob that gives no thought to its future. Humanity has spawned many great minds, but collectively we are as dumb as a rock. The human blob just grows, expands, consumes, and destroys everything on the planet without consideration for tomorrow. It’s not so much what we have done in the industrial age, it’s the size and scope. Intelligent being would have realized that the planet and its resources are finite and halted population growth at 1 billion. But the blob refuses to even have that conversation. There are many here of this platform who believe in unlimited human growth, that we will expand our blight to other planets. We justify our existence through religion, as if we are something special in the universe. If you look at the damage we have inflicted on our own planet and the innocent flora and fauna that once thrived here, humans are about as special as cancer.
