"So we aren’t that smart."
Well, when you consider that we react to global crisis like a pandemic with more confrontation, than cooperation (there was no real exchange of technology between west and east and patents and licencing were still more important, than producing enough vaccines) and to the climate crisis rather with more wars over whats left of the ressources, than to unite and solve the problems - no, we are not.
We are smart enough to see, what could be possible, but unable to overcome primitive power struggles.

- hutzlibu 4y agoWell, do you really think humanity as its whole acted "smart" during the pandemic? And cherrypicking, well climate change is the current problem, affecting the whole earth, so a smart species by my definition would act globally and coordinated and not only talk about it. But sure, by comparison we still seem to be the smartest around.
