Like, we’re destroying the one place we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy, but instead the world’s richest man is trying to expand to other planets while this one’s ability to sustain life is in jeopardy. IMO that makes us potentially a very stupid species compared to a species that doesn’t really care about meeting other aliens because they value the life on their own planet far more than we do.
The result of a zillion years of evolution in which the monkey that can gather more food and resources, also gathers followers, and gets laid more.
Fast forward a zillion years, and those fat greedy apes now control the world.
Now that we’re aware of the mechanism, all we need to do is spend the next zillion years forcing humanity down a different, more cooperative evolutionary path. That shouldn’t be any problem at all.
Sarcasm or?
