I think the human race is a failure from the get-go, we've managed to get to where we are through greed and profiteering off of others and while doing so turning the planet into a shit hole of waste and toxins.

We can't even live in harmony with our own species, let alone the many other species and life forms inhabiting this planet. It's always a "What can I get out of this" which, in the end, screws everyone.
