Have we failed as a species?

[Aoi Magi]

We actually haven't failed as a species, because under the laws of nature and natural selection, failure would be extinction. As long as we survive, we have succeeded.

And not even a million years being homo sapiens sapiens is sufficient to come to that judgment? We have clocked off about 0.75 percent of the time dinosaurs roamed the land. I wouldn't call that a success yet looking at the big picture.

You missed the point, I said "As long as we survive" we have succeeded, so if a freak meteor destroys us tomorrow or we nuke ourselves to oblivion, we certainly would have failed but till before that point, we would still be a success story.
