Absolutely brutal... and sadly accurate.

Humans are the only species whose intelligence is constantly weaponized against themselves. No other creature builds its own extinction. No other animal poisons its home while knowing exactly what it’s doing.

The tragedy of mankind isn’t ignorance — it’s arrogance mixed with short-term thinking. We are clever enough to split atoms, edit DNA, and build AI… but not wise enough to stop ourselves from collapsing ecosystems, waging senseless wars, or enslaving ourselves to systems that serve no real purpose beyond greed and power.

Maybe intelligence, without humility and wisdom, is just a sophisticated form of self-destruction.

Are we the apex predator? Or the apex fool?
