Our mass cowardice, mine included, is our shame and culpability.
Like the German citizens who weren’t Nazis but stayed quiet and didn’t protest, only on a global scale. We should all be Greta, getting arrested doing the right thing, but again cowardice in the face of inhumanity is our sin.
Just smart enough to figure out how to blow ourselves up, and still stupid enough to do it.
It always provides context for me in life to remember that, with great difficulty, humanity managed to do something I would think any sapient life form would consider a massive technological threshold/achievement: we figured out how to split the atom, releasing practically limitless energy.
…And Why did we suddenly rush to do so? To make big boomie boom rival monkey tribe.

Yep, even in the nations I often look up to from my gold plated shithole as the last models of humanity on Earth, all the while going back to the same question…
…and being left with the same sad answer, we as a species arent the cure, and we aren’t both, we’re just the disease.
May our descendants never forgive us.
If there are any.
Don’t blame me, I recycled! /s

But what exactly do you want to change?
Lets say you had absolute power and could make whatever decisions for the human race you’d want.
I’m curious what you’d decide.
Im not saying there aren’t things we can do better, but it’s also not as easy as people make it out to be.
