“People still kill one another for petty jealousy and greed. Humanity never asked itself why it deserved to survive. Maybe you don’t….”
Quote from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
This is the finest space opera television series ever produced. Period. I’ve watched every episode from all 5 seasons 3 times. Either I’m a lunatic, or I don’t have a life, or both. Whatever. However, I must reiterate the observation made by the writers of the series about the extermination of the human race as a result of creating weapons it cannot control: “THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED BEFORE AND IT WILL ALL HAPPEN AGAIN.”

The effect of homo sapiens on the Earth is visually demonstrated by the dump truck and the public dump (landfill, refuse center, etc.).
By logical extension, it’s not too hard to see that the inevitable manifestation of Karma will eventually bury us in our own garbage, not to mention drowning in cesspools of our own shit!
Who needs Zombie Horror Movies? Just take a trip to your local landfill and you’ll discover that WE ARE the Apocalypse!

Definition of hubris: exaggerated pride or self-confidence.
Human beings, with rare exceptions, do not confront their own mortal frailty. Humans die. Only spirits are immortal. A human is an immortal spirit who temporarily animates a fragile body. The tragedy of humans is their failure to be the spirit they really are.
The English language picked up both the concept of hubris and the term for that particular brand of cockiness from the ancient Greeks, who considered hubris a dangerous character flaw capable of provoking the wrath of the gods. In classical Greek tragedy, hubris was often a fatal shortcoming that brought about the fall of the tragic hero. Typically, overconfidence led the hero to attempt to overstep the boundaries of human limitations and assume a godlike status, and the gods inevitably humbled the offender with a sharp reminder of his or her mortality.
To the Greeks, hubris referred to extreme pride, especially pride and ambition so great that they offend the gods and lead to one’s downfall. Hubris was a character flaw often seen in the heroes of classical Greek tragedy, including Oedipus and Achilles. The familiar old saying “Pride goeth before a fall” is basically talking about hubris. — Merriam-Webster Dictionary
