The funny thing is its what all life does, but it means despite our cognitive abilities we are really proving we are nothing more than any other animal. All we would have needed to do is act on what we know rather than what we want and we would not be here.
While that may be true, I've not seen a bunch of orangutans bulldoze entire cities and push their inhabitants populations to extinction. We're not comparable with any animal due to the sheer destructive power we have.
well yeah. I meant any life that achieved our level of power. We just broke the barrier but did not become any better to deal with it.
