    Humans are not necessarily bad. Working together in tough times is what made humans evolutionary wise superior and still does. It is power that makes humans bad. And more power even more so. Or how some English Lord put it:

    Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

      humans have fought wars for longer than our recorded history, you can’t blame it all on fools seeking concepts of power. hell, we were fighting back when we were still apes swinging from trees.

      We can’t seem to break free of those evolutionary ties that we have to out-compete each other. There are lots of great people, but we’re still at that tipping point where some bullshit makes one county chain-reaction genocide another country.
