    I’ve come to take a great deal of solace in seeing that our selfish species as a whole has lost.

    All the stupid race wars, empires of dust, snake oil peddling religions, and nation states in human history. All the elitists manipulating peasants out of greed and glut. Nobody wins. Good.

    For the very real in my opinion overarching crime of humanity: dividing ourselves and competing against one another at every conceivable level instead of working for each other, we as a species deserve what we have wrought.

    Humanity will survive. We’re cockroaches. Maybe If we’re thinned out enough, when we rebuild, we can rebuild as a planet and a people instead of as nation states undermining one another to get mooooooore than the next guy. This petty nation state crap is idiotic, and a means for sociopaths to manipulate people against people for power.

      I see it more as an unfortunate victory of destructive ideology than a well earned collective punishment for our faults as a species, but otherwise agreed.
