    I’m really struggling with the idea that humanity doesn’t deserve to survive. Its just mind blowing how stupid and disgusting people can be.

      I don’t struggle with it at all. I accepted it decades ago. I suppose it makes the end of the world easier to deal with.

          Funny, I believe the exact opposite propositions. A human has the potential to be brilliant and beautiful but humanity will never be as intelligent as an ant colony.

            Yeah, straight up disagree.
            People are not individually brilliant, we are the result of hundreds of generations of iteration and resilience. No one has built and started from zero even people like me that avoids others.

            People are not superheroes, they aren’t individual creators they are at the new end point of the neverending colony.

            But the individual will always let you down. They are not as perfect or incredible as our beliefs in them.

      i think the only way we can survive and create a successful egalitarian society is by having some sort of overlord ruling over us

      so for example let’s say we write a constitution and then have a super-powered generalized artificial intelligence machine force us to follow the rules

      or aliens. we could become pets for alients https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgPeP_pfjp4

        I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B’s from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.
