The dangers of choosing a side

[Blaine91555]

There is something in humans that crave war, want death, disease and destruction.

We are a flawed species.

We have no choice but to pick a side. The consequences of not doing that and allowing a group of wrong-minded people to end all of us are too profound. We've removed natural selection from the equation and the number of people mad enough to want war is too great not to defend a side.

Tribalism has been passed down from our caveman genes from a time when too many people in the same area meant starvation for everyone. Combine that with weapons so powerful they can end life on Earth and it's a miracle we've lasted this long.

We survive only until the wrong person gets their hands on the button that begins the end.  We should be scared terrified of ourselves.
