BTW Elon went to Russia to discuss new ideas re rockets and the Russians were condescending. Elon gave them the middle finger with subsequent achievements.

You fail to understand that success, even remarkable, possibly unprecedented levels of personal achievement and success does not eliminate the possibility of one becoming a malicious sick narcisisstic fuck. In fact the two, the success and the disease, often go hand in hand. Vladimir Putin and Musk being classic examples.
I tend to find the truth about our species more accurate from the perspective of Howard Zinn than from Bronowski. And I find humanity to be the scourge of planet earth. We are locusts with a little intelligence ans way too much technology. Wherever we go, sooner or later everything dies.
