I’ve long wondered if we could ever rally humanity to a goal worthy of it’s efforts - above economics and nationalism and racism and colonialism - can humanity be galvanized to defend itself when the threat is made clear.
So far I’d say: Not likely.
We've done it before. Eradicating smallpox, eliminating CFCs to avoid carving chunks out of the ozone layer, globalizing the food supply to curb faminie, building and maintaining an international space station.
valid points all.
None of them threatened the largest, politically manipulative interests, but maybe there is hope.
I want there to be I just don't really see it.
