This should be so so obvious after witnessing a little thing like CoVid-19.

I understand the anti-government sentiment, it makes sense given the empirical evidence. Humans suck at governing.

“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.” I think this is Edward Wilson.

If we are to survive, we have to evolve, this is just one idea that may contribute.
