People of the world

[Septimus]

We have "evolved" to a level of self-awareness and collective awareness that we know survival doesn't rely on being greedy and hogging the food.

Our awareness has risen to a point where we know now of threats to our existence as a whole (asteroids, global warming, plate tectonics, etc). We are realizing that survival for every individual and the entire race will depend on our ability to cooperate, we are considerate enough to think about (and do extensive research into) how our actions may affect generations centuries from now.

All the excuses are straw men

The only thing that has evolved about human nature are the societies that we live in, biologically and psychologically we are pretty much the balding monkeys that we have been for all of written history.

All of the knowledge of asteroids, global warming, plate tectonics, disease, Brainiac 13, the great and beauteous one Glorificus, Dark Phoenix, wedgies, and any other thing that can destroy life as we know it does not make us get along now. We still have war, we still have discrimination- people murder each other because of race, religion, sexual orientation, or because they just feel like it. As much as I wish it were otherwise, humanity is not going to change in the foreseeable future.

I offer no excuses, I am just being realistic.

I think its time to either choose the Red pill or the Blue pill....
