I think this is a terribly disheartening quote. It's very true. But it's sad that there's basically zero hope for us as a people to come together to do great things that benefit our species and the others trapped on this planet with us. We're doomed to a future of selfishness and violence
Well there is a chance we might get our collective shit together after a world wide set back in tech, medical, any other scienctific advances. If we have a massively destructive climate event, solar flare, or any other big global hit, then many years later after the survivors reconnect humanity. We MIGHT have a better mindset and work together more. I doubt it though, but I'm a pessimist.
