I don´t agree with you. At least I don´t believe anything such is
inevitable. I know what kind of behavior probably is at the back of
your mind, say the American Indians, but I really think humans are
changing for the better in number of ways.

To name an example, there actually are big areas of the planet where
wars have become allmost unthinkable, which doesn´t mean I´m unavare
of the areas where wars are still entirelly plausable.

Nowdays, there are actually international rescue efforts, food
distributions, health efforts, and so on. Still plenty of misery left,
but things have never been better or rather never been less bad.
