I believe humanity has passed the point where we can. We lack the will. We're monkeys just barely smart enough with concerted effort to create technologies we lack the impulse control to wield responsibly. We figured out gun powder, and proceeded to use it to commit genocides, for example.

This wasn't a problem for the planet, only one another, until industrialization. Now we're addicted to technologies that make wealthy people wealthier while poisoning our only shared habitat. Now we're monkeys with multiple, competing self-destructive but potentially profitable technologies all vying to blow up in our face in the quest to enrich those that hold their patents, and they answer to no one. World governments instead seem to answer to them.

So yeah, I don't see a non-violent solution where you put a big red nuclear button in an orangutan sanctuary that looks like their food dispenser button, and taking thr big red nuclear button away from them, even by force, is off the table.

I can only control myself, I can't force my fellow peasants to stop digging their own graves to further enrich a few thousand sociopath families who've convinced them this is the only way. There's peace in acceptance I suppose.
