Here is a response to my friend Natalia on her Facebook comment to my poem Hubris:
It all comes down to the people of the world themselves. In the past the world had mighty personalities who called the shots like Stalin and Hitler. If they have flawed characters the people suffered.
Today the people are for the most part, partly in charge and yet the situation is almost as grave.
Why is this so? This is so because of the greed of quite a few of the brighter humans and the stupidity of an even larger number others. This makes it difficult for the remaining people who are intelligent enough not to be fooled, in part by some of the mass media and moral enough to want to do the right thing if for no other reason than for their children.
I would give odds of 40% that humanity will cause its own extinction in the next 200 years.
