“The human body is a miraculous thing...but greed and power sure screws up human existence.”
This guy seems to agree with you:
Professor Brian Cox believes the advances in science and engineering required by a civilisation to start conquering the stars ultimately lead to its destruction.
He said: ‘One solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that.
‘It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.’
That suggests getting off the ship before the rogue crew sinks it.
