The way I see it that instinct is the cause behind so much suffering and injustice in the world.

The only thing could make us drop “us versus them” mentality is a giant alien force

Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution but from annihilation.
