I think humans, like cockroaches, will survive despite their best efforts to exterminate themselves for the most trivial reasons.  What is more, they will improve their own circumstances despite being total undeserving and unworthy of even the circumstances they are in now.

I think the greatest evil is what is good for humanity, but humanity will achieve what is good for itself despite my best efforts, so I might as embrace the great evil that I can’t mitigate.

Does that make me a cynical humanist?
