Well, ironically, the behavior will eventually make the planet less hospitable to humans. Fewer humans, fewer problems. We either adapt to continue. Or we end. Just like millions of other already extinct species.

I think humans needed to be this remarkably selfish to get to this point. But now selfishness risks a quick demise. Quick as in faster than evolution can be an aid.

If there isn't a technical solution that's economically and politically equitable, we will end.
