I don't mean better for you or me but better in general. Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment or will we destroy ourselves?

But losing 75% of population, I can see some nuclear war breaking out

Seems pretty likely (eventually). I take hope that I'll be in the direct blast radius, and not a mutilated horribly scarred survivor.

I choose not to think about this one much because it's well outside my circle of influence.
