I agree the odds for us to survive are a long shot. But we still have to try and survive. That means making the right decisions going forward. For a long time, I couldn't figure out how we could make the transition from the killer ape we are that evolved eating meat, with attendant instincts, to a peaceful modern existential human. I now believe our best chance lies in two things: women taking over running the world because they are not poisoned with testosterone and massive worldwide education. Females are not as aggressive as males. All one has to do is look at the prison population to see that is true. The other imperative is that we get ourselves educated. I believe everyone is greatly undereducated. We have this mindset that to get through high school is important, but it is sort of a bonus to go to college and getting a PhD is sort of the endpoint to be perfectly educated. I think that is dead wrong. I think we need to start at about the age of 2 1/2 and I think education has to be an active part of a person's life for as long as they live. And the more education they obtain from any source, the better they will be able to think. I believe, humans are not born knowing how to think. They have to learn how to think. And it takes a long time to learn how to see the illusion most of us live in and develop a well-functioning existential mind. Whether we survive or not is going to be directly dependent upon how quickly the human species can up its game intellectually. If I were Bill Gates and had $90 billion, I would put it all into schools around the world and especially schools for females. I believe that, and women taking power is our best chance for long-term survival. People have to learn how to understand things like probability. It is silly how many people do not believe in global warming when the evidence is so clear. In fact even worse is the fact that virtually none of the Republican presidential candidates believe in evolution. Evolution is taught as fact in every major university in the world. So we have to do better.
