....we are way in over our heads on how to take care of ourselves, let alone every other species on earth

Do you have some evidence of this claim?  It seems to me that humans are doing just fine.  Life expectancy continues to increase, as does quality of life (at an increasingly fast pace).  So, anecdotal evidence seems to point away from your claim.  

All the while global warming is increasing, we have nuclear weapons enough to kill most of life, populism is on the rise, foolish fears of falling out if power are making the US do stupid and selfish things, we still kill each other over small matters, Yemen faced one of the worst starvation crisis in a long while, Syria faced one of the worst humanitarian crisis a while back, Israel and Palestine can't stop fighting, the Uyghur are still being mistreated, rohingya are still being massacred and are facing genocide, turkey's leader has gone insane, Brazil elected an insane man that loves torture and kílling, Venezuela is in disarray, India and Pakistan can't stop fighting, India mistreats Kashmiris, Pakistan mistreats Baloch, Brexit is a shit show, a maniac worse than the maniacs before him in the white house, education and healthcare declining in many nations, the middle class can't sustain itself if not given a pay cheque for one month as witnessed by the US partial shutdown, 1 in 200 people in the UK are homeless, a nation like north Korea still exists on this planet, a nation like Saudi Arabia still exists on the earth, the US was running out of bombs according to a report I read a few months back, etc etc etc. We are doing better in some ways and worse in others. But I wouldn't call what we are doing properly handling ourselves as a species



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
