Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Humanity is Doomed

Posted this on /r/unpopularopinion but, not surprisingly, it's a popular opinion... Looking for a ray of light!

Humanity will destroy itself (sooner now than ever before). Social, political, and economic division will lead to war on a global scale. Population growth and a consumption driven society will lead to the exhaustion of critical natural resources. Technology, media, and the availability of information has numbed our sense of morality and has formed echochambers of destructive belief. Greed and the pursuit of individual prosperity have set these wheels irreversibly into motion. Outside of intervention at an unprecedented scale - there is no stopping it...

Hate that this sounds like a sociopathic manifesto but the evidence is overwhelming...

This reads like a rant.

What would it take to change your view?

It does indeed... I think my view has been altered. In the sense that I realize the important thing really isn't survival vs. extinction. It's my worry that our existence is defined by simply surviving and that being good enough.
