Indeed. I sometimes think we may actually be the very stupidest aminal.

Humans are far more cooperative than most animals, but this also allows us to compete in destructive wars on scales far beyond them. In the same way I would say we have gotten good enough at thinking to have unlocked whole new levels of mistakes.

Ok, I get the whole disappointment with our species, but I really don’t think it’s fair to simply declare us stupid and cruel and leave it there. We are – but we’re also brilliant and loving. People will suffer any agony to ruin someone’s life, and they will devote their whole life to helping someone they’ve never met. We invent medicines and poisons, we make poems and pyramid schemes, we launch bombs and raise butterflies, we tell lies for the most banal motives and we investigate the universe for the sheer joy of understanding.
What I think stands out most about Homo sapiens is that we are incredibly diverse. Most species are adapted to fit a niche, but basically identical humans can become anything from arctic hunters to vegan office workers, polygamous warlords to aromantic painters. We can be wonderfully beautiful and we can be disgusting ugly. But none of those things are our nature, our nature is to be all of them.

Those transports are a fascinating detail of WW II with many a story to tell.
These days, they use planes.

No argument there, of course… but our species is also quite the opposite, of course.
