I don’t think we’re awful as a whole. To some extent, I need to believe this, in order to avoid breaking down and killing myself. However, I do think it counts for something that there are so many people who want humans to be better, and are doing what they can. I think that resigning oneself to humans being awful will lead to a world with more awfulness.
This is an area where failure is not a binary. As bad as things are now, it can always get worse. The more people give up, the worse things will become.

And they’re all still failing at making us even a halfway respectable species.

That’s the best part: No matter how much I do it will always get worse, just more slowly.
It hasn’t gotten better since 1999 and I don’t believe people are worth the effort anymore.
