That comes with having giant institutions that can bury kid-diddling, and do so in the name of preserving their reputation. In consequence, the edifice is more important than innocent human lives.

Well, having come to terms with our not-insignificant existential risk, yes, we seem to be struggling with navigating our current great filters. One of our traits is we’re not good at organization, organizations of communities larger than dozens tend to collapse into corruption and factioning, which informs how religious ministries turn against the good of the society. It also informs runaway industries like fossil-fuel and automotive.
So as I see it, it’s not prescriptive but descriptive. It’s not whether we’re worthy but whether we do. It would mean overcoming our tendency to create large institutions in which power is consolidated and then only serves those at the top.
We will or we won’t, and in we don’t then the next species to evolve sophisticated social cooperation and reason will get to try.

Then the human race isn’t worth saving cheers to the climate climax!
