Your source does not support your claim at all. Seems like you are projecting your scientific illiteracy onto Jung.

Which makes me worried. A country with a declining economy but the largest military in the world is almost certain to project its inner problems outwards in form of war. The best the world can hope for is another civil war inside the US.

I just wanted to point out that we humans already made life more fair. Of course it could be better and it sucks when people are mean, but at least we mostly don't just beat each other to death suddenly or dueling on the streets any more.

You list other animals as positive examples and then say yourself that our life wouldn't be like other animals.

When we were still small hunter gatherer groups, individuals who made problems or simply weren't strong enough or a bit sick would cold heartedly be left behind alone which was a death sentence for early humans sooner or later.

But how many people are willing to risk their life without immediate danger to themselves (yet)?

Also, this is just the rehearsal until they go for political opponents with American citizenship.

Yeah this regime already directly said and demonstrated by their actions that they don't care about laws or even the constitution.

It can always be better but I think pure nature is even less fair and can be absolutely cruel. We are very spoiled of our cultural progresses living in a huge bubble where everything is pink and fluffy compared to "real life out there in wild nature".

The quote of Asimov is on point. As a non-American, I remember rewatching "Friends" after Trump came into office and suddenly noticed this subliminal anti-intellectualism even in this rather progressive left leaning TV show: Ross is often ridiculed as boring or arrogant when he talks about science or just trying to be factual, whereas the stupidity of Joey and the superstition and denial of reality of phoebe are glorified as funny and quirky and often shown as equal or even superior to Ross' intellectualism.

I think the same thing happened in the beginning of the 20th century and partly is the reason for the two world wars which makes me afraid of the future seeing the global development of increasing tension and rearmament.
