I think people trying to demean humanity for some sort of image of deepness or wisdom are overrated.
Humanity is creating new things every day, new possibilities. Yes, we end up cracking some eggs along the way, such as the environment or other species, but I would rather than that stop humanity's progression.
I think it's a sort of adolescent, knee-jerk reaction some people have. They see the negative impact we have to the exclusion of the positive, and turn us into the antagonist.
What's also kind of ironic is that a lot of these people celebrate nature, the wild, the organic, yet totally forget that we are a product of nature. We are animals - very successful animals - but still animals. Clever apes. We deserve to be in the position we're in, because we dragged ourselves here despite all the odds.
I agree with you. We're in a constant push forward, and that includes trying to find ways to minimise our damage to the world around us upon which we rely. That's a good thing, and certainly preferable to saying, "Oh look at what a monster we've become", laying down and dying :P
Do you think that humanity is overrated?
