Humanity is surrounding itself with its own self-inflicted destruction.
All in the name of not only tolerated avarice, but celebrated avarice.
Greed is a more effectively harmful human impulse than even hate. We’ve merely been propagandized to ignore greed, oh im sorry “rational self-interest,” as being the personal failing and character deficit it is.
Empathy and decency are scarce precious commodities. But the ruthless predatory “thought leaders” have been in charge ever since we clubbed the last neanderthal.
“It Was Just Business” should be engraved on whatever memorial is left behind to mark our self-extinction.

I completely agree and have made similar points about that being our species’ epitaph.
greed coupled with high ambition is the biggest problem. neither on its own is as destructive
