You fail to understand that success, even remarkable, possibly unprecedented levels of personal achievement and success does not eliminate the possibility of one becoming a malicious sick narcisisstic fuck. In fact the two, the success and the disease, often go hand in hand. Vladimir Putin and Musk being classic examples.

I tend to find the truth about our species more accurate from the perspective of Howard Zinn than from Bronowski. And I find humanity to be the scourge of planet earth. We are locusts with a little intelligence ans way too much technology. Wherever we go, sooner or later everything dies.

Some of the mountain nations seem to be defying your expectations. Switzerland has stayed pretty. Read up on Bhutan.

Give us time, it's why I said "sooner or later." I remain firm in my conviction that as a whole, we are bad for each other and worse for the planet.
