Going deeper, the core limitation is that consciousness happens on-top of real-hardware.
Consciousness is a model, like our economy. Its evolved task is to seek favorable conditions for the survival / replication of the "Bacterial Colony" which constitutes each human being.
Micro-organisms make up 3% of our mass, but in cell count, they outnumber human cells 10 to 1, these microorganisms are also the MAJORITY in diversity of DNA, of which are NONE-Human.
EVEN within our bodies, we are not wholly ourselves. You can argue each person is mostly NON-human.
Consciousness takes shortcuts. That's the only way it works within the hardware limits. So, we BELIEVE in lots of shortcuts about Who and What we are.
Hardware limits are pervasive at the human consciousness level, AS THEY ARE at the human-governmental-societal level.
The trouble of Modernity is that we devote consciousness to the Maintenance of EXTRAVAGANT EXCESS. Wars are not fought over NEEDS, they're fought over excess in all its forms, wealth(stuff), money(fiat), fame/esteem, power.
Human societies as most people understand them are an extremely shallow concept of reality.
A ruler does not rule, he's merely REACTING to the momentums around him so as to not be KILLED by it. Chinese idiom, The palace is its own ruler, The king merely plays his part.
At this point in our ecological juncture. We've maxed out on the externalized costs of our wants/needs. If we don't stop immediately, Nature will reboot.
Tp4 does not believe humans will make it. Short of alien involvement. Aliens who figured it out, before their cataclysm.
Locusts are not born to stop eating, maybe the few Crazy Defective locusts like Tp4, be like, Hai guys, I think we've eaten enough today, maybe we should let this here grass grow back a little, and then eat it in a couple days.
Then LocustP4 dies, because the other locusts ate everything that he was saving for tomorrow. Finally ALL locusts die as they exhaust the food supply.
As will all mankind perish as we exhaust the Ecology of Earth.
How remarkably stupid of humans, Our Epitaph, Cause of extinction, --Herbivores who refused to eat vegetables..
We're fast becoming the biggest damn joke in the Galaxy.
You' hear that one about the humans? What about the humans ? They went extinct because they wouldn't eat vegetables. What? Aren't they Herbivores?, YEA they were !!! HAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
There were these-guyzus called Trumps, and they just ate these things called hamburders until it got everyone killed...
