')We are so powerful, yet most of us are still slaves to the very instincts that given rise to our brutality, savagery and cunning. Our demise will be our own undoing.
Not really depressed or angry about this because you can't change human nature. Or the fate of humanity. Like all other species, extinction is their final outcome. In other words, extinction is the inevitable fate of Homo sapiens.

Psycho twaddle. It presumes that A) the universe itself isn't based on destruction and B) that humans are significant in some way, beyond suffering from hubris on an astronomical scale. Human nature is irrelevant within the context of the forces at work here, and of course extinction is the fate of not just humans, but everything on this planet. Sustainability is nothing more than an illusion of the perspective of the time span involved.
Our insignificance, summed up nicely.

AdamB, you are correct. Humans are truly insignificant in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to the cosmos.
History repeats itself. Just everytime with different characters and players.
