After going between both sides of the argument, the big picture I keep arriving at is that humanity is already fucked and we're all just here for the interesting stuff before an end within another thousand years. Unless there's some catastrophic event which impacts humanity [not a people located in a specific place/country/region] enough to suppress the flaws of man long enough to at least start building something genuinely better, I'm just not seeing how humanity gets its shit together. Like, it will always be a situation where there are tons of fodder, a lot of those seeking control, and few seeking to distribute.
