I think we're at a crossroads. This is the most important time in our history. We have the capability to completely destroy ourselves pretty much instantly. If we can survive these next few hundred years, we will have by then expanded off the earth and into the solar system. Therefore it would be much harder to eliminate the human race. Maybe soon enough we'll be a type II civilization using all the resources of the solar system and graduate into type III where we control a galaxy.
But to ever get to that point, people need to chill out in the world.
I often wonder if this is something that every civilization goes through. A precarious time where you're not sure if you're going to make it or not as a race of intelligent beings.
We're so close in securing ourself a spot in the universe...but there are so many petty things that ripping us apart.

did you ever play a space action/sim game by the name of Freelancer? it has one of my most favorite gaming moments ever, where the final battle with a mysterious alien race ends up in their home system, and the aliens home is a dyson sphere harnessing the power of a star. at the time Freelancer's graphics were some of the best ever done for space sim games (it still looks quite good even today), and that end battle was epic
