Honestly, I’ve thought about that, too. Like what if electing trump was just a catalyst for good change? We see all the shitty stuff that we’re not immune to (no pun intended), and then steel our resolve to be better.
Frankly, I’d rather just be done with all the nonsense, but if the last several years have taught me anything, it’s that we are ALL dumb as fuck and need to work on ourselves, myself included. Humans just aren’t quite ready. We may be, someday… But right now, I think it’s best we learn to overcome what our problems are by looking deeply into a mirror and working on that.
I kinda wanted to be able to see that galactic civilization, but I’m now aware that we have never been ready for it, and need to stop pretending we don’t have issues and blind spots.
