Humans are Fundamentally Stupid Creatures

The human primate is undoubtedly the most brilliant of any animal species but at the same time, it is also the most profoundly stupid. No other animal consciously destroys the very environment it is dependent upon for survival, except for the human. In our ignorant quest to destroy the planet, we are also causing the elimination of millions of other animal and plant species. Earth is currently in the midst of the sixth mass extinction. The previous extinctions, mostly attributed to climate change, killed an estimated 75% to 96% of all living things.

Without a doubt, the human animal is the most destructive element on the planet. Although our technology has evolved, human intellect has regressed. Technology and lack of forethought has allowed for global warming and the poisoning of the air, water, and soil; while the Internet hastens the dumbing down and polluting of the human mind.

Greed plays a large role as the desire for power and money has consistently outweighed the essential need to work together for long-term human survival, and resources are now concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. The 26 richest individuals on planet earth have the same amount of wealth as the poorest 3.8 billion people, or about half the world’s population.
