Then why aren't we basilisk-ing towards it with that kind of fervor

Human civilization has existed for only 6000 years. Our universe is 13 billions years old. We’ll get there though, I just don’t know if in our lifetime.

But my point was if that's what we're meant to do why aren't we trying harder

My guess is religion is an attempt by our intelligent designers to indoctrinate us with their goal in mind.

We’re not getting there as quickly as you might want to think because our overall suffering is still not catastrophic enough to make the collective human morality compass swing in a different direction. Humanity needs to unite where everyone sees each other as equals and prevent inequity and greed from dividing us into financial classes through our current dominant capitalist system.

Sure, we’re near the threat of nuclear warfare from Russia, but we’re still seeing people going to their jobs everyday like it’s nothing. We need a more catastrophic shock to our global world order to the point that that it starts causing people to think and act more differently.

You sound like you want to create one

No … I just don’t see how else humanity can be distracted when we have with the World Wide Web hosting apps like Pornhub, TikTok, and Reddit which take take up of a lot of our attention spans to not care enough anymore.
