I think you give some people far too much credit. Do you think Jeff Bezos hates himself? Or that Donald Trump hates himself? I don’t. I think they truly believe they are superior to the “peons” and that the rest of the world is inferior to them.

It brings to mind Viktor Frankl’s thoughts on humanity when he said that people can be divided into two groups and no more. Those who have capacity for great evil and those who do not. All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The world is being destroyed and resources depleted because of a very small number of people. They don’t hate themselves. They believe they are superior and they do not believe all humans are the same or equally worthy

The masses think they are helpless to do anything about it. They’re wrong, of course, but unless they see it, the cycle will continue until this planet burns and floods simultaneously. And the Earth will be fine. Humans, not so much.

Ants do a better job of community than humans do.
