Every science fiction story has been a failed attempt at using our creativeness to warm us of our doom. Which This failure itself was foretold in mythology such as with Cassandra’s tears. We know our fate and we seem powerless to stop it, for some reason…
the reason is perfectly known: we are too stupid to listen. Wait, that’s the philosophy the Nox gaves to SG-1 too… Even the direct answer was too complicated for us to understand ><
I feel that stupid is too easy an answer, especially when the stupid was manufactured, or at the very least the cure was withheld. There is a deeper part of human nature at play, greed is close but its more nuanced, it’s featured in the “tragedy of the commons” and against the tide even those who would act righteously in their own life would be replaced and utterly destroyed by the clawing hands of everyone else.
