Yes, that's a possible outcome and if it happens, humans will pretty soon be extinct.
And we'll deserve it.
However that doesn't have to happen. People are capable of horrific cruelty and violence, yes. But they are also capable of kindness and compassion and love - sometimes at the same time as the cruelty and violence.
Ruling elites are usually the worst example of human behaviour because they are the psychopaths that get to the top in a capitalist society. For instance, in exchange for a magnificent heart-swelling effort to look after all the people who got ill with Covid19, the UK NHS workers have been offered a... 1% payrise by the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak.
NHS workers Kindness, Compassion and Love score: 90%
Rishi Sunak KC&L score: 1%
He's a rich man, thanks to his wife, so he lives on a different planet to most NHS workers, some of whom even need to use food banks. Maybe he thinks it's a good offer?
It doesn't have to be this way.
We have to totally transform our economics, our politics and our societies so we can live in harmony with Our Lady Earth.
Shall we get started?
