Just imagine when was the first time a species came to our borderline intelligence level. Did they have the same problems with psychopathic rulers driving their species into hellish existence? Did they pollute the environment to the brink of biological collapse? Did they use nuclear weapons, or deliberately spill nuclear waste all over the place, i.e. depleted uranium ammunition? Did they poison their own species? Did they mass murder their own species by wars for natural resources and occupation of distant lands? Did they destroy the emerging culture and instill decadence and filth in the minds of the population?

I cannot consider the human race as a collectively intelligent species, given all the stupid things that we have made together as a species. Only a madman would have committed all the ridiculous things listed above. There is no doubt that intelligent individuals have existed and do exist, but why are we not capable of an intelligent coexistence all together?

I'm sure a large number of species did solve the above problems or didn't have them to begin with. Imagine a species that developed in all aspects and managed to survive a supernova explosion of their home star, immigrated to other solar systems or even galaxies billions of years ago. What would they say of all the chaotic insanity presenting itself here?

Some civilizations went through a nuclear war 3 billion years ago and we are just now learning about it.

Happened three billion years ago at a distant galaxy.
