I would love to cite evidence that we’re on the way to “living together as brothers” rather than “perishing together as fools,” but I struggle to find it.

Of course, the final chapter hasn’t been written.  What if there is a planetary catastrophe, perhaps in the form of environmental collapse, that brings the human race together?
