I agree with all 5 of these completely. The poor education though should be listed as #1 since you can easily trace all of the others back to this. For example, Humanity's lack of understanding is because we're all so arrogant and think the world SHOULD revolve around them. Not many people can look around and just ask how or why things happen, which will then go into extremist religion. Faith will not cure world hunger. Faith will not end war (look at crusades). Faith will be the downfall of this world because no one wants to get along. Shit i can go to a bar and have a talk with a man 50 years older than me and SOMEONE in the world would be pissed off at this for some reason. Climate change, meh...i like wearing shorts personally. The economy can blow me by the way, because this world doesn't need money, if everyone worked together towards a single common goal it would be done. But once again, everyone thinks the world needs to revolve around them. Best way to put it: Human species is a parasite to the world, all we do is harm our host (Earth for all of you non educated people) and try to rule over everything (get power, make money). Did i miss anything? Extraterrestrials exist because in a universe (maybe a MULTIverse) that is infinitely expanding, humans are not the only being in existance. There is no god. The world will probably end by us killing each other or an asteroid doing the work for us...hell, there might be a god in that case *finds religion*
