The Industrial Revolution was the biggest mistake in history. One day it will be written about in terms usually reserved for the Holocaust… Assuming that there's anybody left to write about it.

yes you're right. we're so smart we already have the capacity to annihilate ourselves. we keep on destroying our environment but that should make us worry about ourselves the most.
and then when the Earth gets really sick of humans, it will shake us off like a summer flu.

Is it intelligence, though, or just hubris? "Might makes right" has always been the overarching principle of human "civilization." And with climate change we have created an enemy we aren't equipped to deal with. Or willing to. After all, the stock portfolios of the ruling class is a more pressing concern to the political establishment than the lives of animals and peasants. They won't need us anyway once they have their AI assistants and plantations on Mars. Which is why fighting the oligarchy and addressing climate change are inseparable from one another.

yes, it's the notion that we think we are the superior species and rule the world given our opportunities and technology. but these opportunities didn't come from nothing. we created them for ourselves.
i'm not saying that our intelligence is to blame for it at all. after all, our intelligence is equipping us with the needed awareness that we are on a destructive and self-destructive path and sadly, not so intelligent people are leading us there. we are in the hands of dumb, greedy, selfish, supremacist men in power.
Which is why fighting the oligarchy and addressing climate change are inseparable from one another.
yes.
