> I get it from behavioral science why it all works like this, but one still wonders if it's the same for every other civilizations out there, if there are any.
I'm pretty sure that this is the great filter: a species evolving under the constraints of competition for resources inevitably fails as soon as it steps on the land mine of global dominance.
Joking aside; it's kinda tragic to see this happening. The worst thing about it is the willful blindness of many people that should know it better; we're at the brink of extinction and still people find ways to close their eye and go "lalala".
My take on it, this has been the status quo for 200 years. Native American Indians warned about this hundreds years ago. From the natural world it has been obvious for a looong time!
