    I can believe it.

    Our species has repeatedly and reliably demonstrated its innate awfulness for the entirety of our history. If there is a way to exploit and be shitty to one another, we’ll not only commit it, but we’ll legalize it, normalize it, and pretend that not doing it is the weird thing.

      Indigenous peoples worldwide learned how to exist sustainably and some have done so for thousands of years. Not a universal human issue although some societies do be that way.

        To an extent, yes, but they also did all of the awful things the other societies did too, including slavery, killing people over religion, and war among others.
