It's working beautifully and has been for a long time...but now, between the ecological limits we're barking up against, and the fact that the plutocrats are riding high--no, REALLY high, hysterically out-of-control high--their downfall is surely imminent. Yes, they will likely take us all down with them but that's a good thing in the long run. Because on another level, if you look at the whole world, humanity is the sociopath dominating and destroying and exploiting everyone else and needs to be stopped while there are still functional ecosystems and before they can realize their dreams of a society with 19th century social ideas run with 21st century surveillance and tech controls. They're working hard for a future that is an amalgam of all the dystopian novels and movies out there, and their employees are obediently working on each part of this hideous fantasy. I just read that the EU--which has better laws than the US generally--is set to approve AI-generated GMO organisms without oversight, as long as they don't have MORE THAN TWENTY modifications!! Revolution ain't in the cards--a crash brought about by their own hubris and incompetence (and infighting, likely) is our best bet of averting that future. And when the survivors pick up the pieces, I expect they won't need to be told not to rebuild the ugly society that came before the crash. I don't thin all this destruction, this system of domination by sociopaths, is human nature--I think plenty of indigenous societies have shown that humans can be respectful of all our relations, and of each other.
