    I’m not sure what humans CAN do.

    A few years ago we had a pandemic. And at the start of the pandemic, there wasn’t much we could do about it other than stay seperated and wear masks. It wasn’t much, but it was all we could do.

    Half of society balked at wearing a mask, and refused to do it.

    Then, after months of watching nightly news give us higher by the hour covid death tallys, a vaccine came out.

    All society had to do to ALMOST IMMEDIATELY kill covid was get a (quite frankly painless) shot in the arm. And then again 2 weeks later.

    Again, half of society would rather watch that death toll climb. And sure, NOW we’re mostly past it, it was prolonged for 3-4 months at least if not more.

    The left basically had to drag the right to the point where their little protests and hissy fits no longer mattered.

    And that’s just America. You basically need all the humans, and all the corporations in every corner of the planet to all forget all wars, forget all disagreements, forget all grudges, everybody come together and do the same thing for the betterment of all humanity.

    No profits. No advantages. No racism. Just everybody do the same thing together.

    I just don’t see humans capable of that.
