Why Wait For Aliens?

ITS TIME TO START  cleaning up the world for future inhabitants. we might not get our deposit back. where we're going, we won't need it anyway.

granted, the invention of agriculture, including cattle farming, was brilliant. well done, homo sapiens. the price we pay is our need, real and perceived, to defend territory. we spend about half our resources doing this.

controlling territory encourages cultural development,  including manufacturing, currency capitalism, marketing, and escape entertainment. all this consumes about half our resources, the other half.

since we now spend half our money attacking and defending each other, while the ecosystem deteriorates, mightn't we consider exerting a little effort repairing our self inflicted environmental damage?

ronald reagan pointed out that if the earth were threatened by extraterrestrial invaders, earthlings would abandon their petty intra-species squabbles, and unite.

wouldn't that be grand, complete human unification!? But why wait for aliens? if nothing else, why not simply pretend that aliens are out there, lurking...threatening....or we could devise a substitute human unification catalyst, like, say,  climate change, global warming, ecosystem collapse, and human extinction!

all seven billion of us, working together, in concert, jointly, humanunificationarily. in order to make this happen, we must first all agree that global warming is real, that human extinction is a real possibility, that we care, and that can ans must do something about it.

knowing us, that might be hard to do.
