We’re such an advanced civilization that we have given one incompetent moron the power to fuck over all of us overnight. A single point of failure for all of humanity.

This is what darwinian evolution always produces: extinction-bound trophic pyramids, and in the case of humans, a kakistocratic one.

And for humans it only keeps happening because you’re all too stupid (non-pejorative) to stop feeding the process more generations. You breed for a neurochemical hit you call “meaning,” and that’s only when you’re not doing it out of complete idiocy.
