Yes. Give each of us a nuke, put us in a room together with no exits, and we will learn to get along. It will become the highest priority, for each of us not to do, or say, or even think, anything that might piss anyone else off. All our stupid arguments about trivial things, all our name-calling and tribalism and random anger, all our big and small turf wars, all can be set aside, to survive. The "room together with no exits", of course, is the whole planet.
And if we aren't smart enough to figure it out fast enough, then the radiation-resistant cockroaches inherit the earth. I wonder if that was what God meant, when He said, "The meek shall inherit..." |
