True. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to break the cycle. Although we are heading towards another great conflict, we are currently in an era with less hunger, more education, and less poverty throughout the world than ever before. We clearly did something right. Let's try to do even better in the future. Lets evolve, step by step, cause that Is was are good at!

Oh, yeah. We definitely keep trying to break the cycle, else we'll all be extinguished at some point. It won't be broken in the near future, but over many generations of each doing their part, it will eventually evolve into something better; the old perks of the species no longer relevant or needed, eventually evolved out.

Whether or not we can survive ourselves in the meantime is a whole new hurdle in our path.
