Do “intelligent species” have a built in destruct mechanism?
“Let’s see, man (assumedly) started out in caves and hunted meat and now we have astounding technology and travel space yet we aren’t resourceful” i’ve never said homo sapiens isn’t intelligent, I’m saying our emotions rule our intellect, i.e. we do not plan ahead based upon forecasts of scientists and other intelligencia, we plan ahead based upon greed(short-term profit), and comfort.
