Man is happily racing to/causing it's own extinction as a species and the rest of the planet won't even notice.  You would think the intelligent among us would know how we fit in with nature and how natural things work but no...our "advanced brains" are our downfall.  We overthink everything and ignore everything at the same time. Our ability to reason, problem solve and strive out performs that of animals yes but often to our detriment and I see this species dying off because of this hyper focus and ego.  We see the ill effects of having no purpose in life, no reason to get up in the morning.  We see the ill effects of all the "comforts" and none of the trials, of being rescued and kept "safe" instead of self preservation.  It affects the mind and the body.
