Absolutely! It's the daily struggle of seeing people not only hurt others but also themselves for no reason but stupidity at all! And those who do so for supposed short term gain which is none at all on closer inspection.
Humanity does not have any swarm intelligence like at all. It's so depressing.
Actually I was going on and writing more on the state of the world regarding this and how it's self made and we could take it back but eh..
I think humanity has plenty of swarm intelligence. We just don't match it with the appropriate amount of wisdom to temper it. We're a bunch of developmentally imbalanced animals pretending we're more evolved than we are, wasting our time competing for trivial things and reinforcing ancient delusions.. Which is probably why any aliens that would be aware of us wouldn't want to visit. I wouldn't, and I'm no better than the rest of us. We collectively suck.
A small amount of individuals are cool though. So, at least there's that.
Fair approach!
Neither do fish, circled by bubble walls. Find another way to create intelligence.
I don't see them destroying things like we are.
