The only solution I've been coming up with is global extermination

I wish we were all exterminated. I hope that happens soon, maybe it will by robocide or nuclear war.

Some feel that humanity is evolving so that a utopian state will soon be achievable. The Stoics felt that you just had to grit your teeth and strive to be virtuous. The Buddhists feel that the sublimation of desire is the answer to the flaw in humans. Some Christians, almost like the Stoics, think that you can earn your way to a reward by being good. Other Christians see an answer in trusting that God can make changes in a person to be better.

Since we are all born helpless, ignorant, and selfish, it would seem that we depend an awful lot on parents to help us develop self-discipline and learn to navigate a world filled with people who are similarly flawed. Having parents who themselves received inadequate instruction when young only seems to compound problems.

Seeing the world in truth can be like waking up from the Matrix. There is little we can do to fix the world, but we can find ways to make our way closer to truth and even occasionally find and encourage others. The world can seem frustrating and cruel because it is. However, we can learn to navigate through it such that we can avoid the worst and even discover others who have also come to be free of that which blinds.

I think it would be probably better if the world was destroyed, but it depends on if humanity's long term consequences on the whole universe. Or... whatever becomes of what we call humanity today. Gun to my head, I would guess that evolution produces evil because survival is the ultimate deciding factor. You don't get goodness through that kind of system, just fakeness and evil that masquerades as progress and goodness. That's the short answer for why things are so bad and continue to be bad.

But the real bad news is that it's probably impossible for the world to get destroyed in any deliberate way, because it would instead appear as selection pressure that only kills off a huge majority of life on Earth, and then "big winners" emerge from the wreckage. These winners won't be good, they'll just be survive-y. And that's the whole problem. Things get more and more survive-y with time, and that... just isn't good. It has very little to do with good. I've thought about this daily and obsessed over this problem for many years, and there's no solution I can see so far.

The best thing you can do about problems with no solution is to let them go.

In the process of recovery it always helps me remember that without humans, without none of one things wouldn't be different... Nature doing it's course and we gotta be the one creating the meaning of it, the rest it's just animals acting like animals both humans and non human animals
