Because despite all human hubris, we are pretty much in the dark ages. When we have learned how to sustain ourselves without raping the planet, then maybe we can at least be called civilized. Although still a very primitive species.
Humans dont like viewing themselves as primitive and limited, but we very much are. We are unaware of the alien species constantly being around us, we think 90% of the DNA is "junk" because we dont understand what it does, we call space "empty" because we dont see whats there, etc.
Its all very much based on hubris and ego. Very very primitive. I often feel like Im watching a society that is completely nuts. Valuing paper more than the planet that is giving us life every second of every day (!).
Everything is primitive, in that it is the origin for the things to come. The way I think of the situation is that our species and its civilization are frightfully young, with all the arrogance and naïveté that entails. Here's hoping we're not the kind of teenager that kills ourselves by crashing the family car.
