Excellent observation, I've thought much about your statements. However, I'm unsure of your meaning in the following, "That means, it doesn't

We cannot always be accountable for each individual's actions with the extent of our awareness. If I keep littering in a park, will you always be
there to pick up my trash? What if, because of you picking up my trash always you missed out on discovering a method to eliminate the need to pick up
trash with the invention of AI robots which would leave you time to fix up other areas. Sometimes there are time periods on certain planets that they
live in trash so deep that they are barely living.
In these cases it is prefered for us to clean up our own planet, just as a body would recover from an open wound. Ultimately, we are all responsible
for the way life is on our planet and across the Universe and beyond. To place blame on another race for setting in motion the events which caused so
much trash on our planet to pile up is irrelevant because we all at one point in time or another partook in the planet's current state.
It is like yelling to the Universe, "WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON OUR PLANET, Eh?"
No one at this time like you said wants to take responsibility for the current state of this planet, yet daily do more harm than good with their
actions being entirely self-centered. It won't change until major war and destruction breaks out and people have time to consider what went wrong
and understand the shallow, self-centered, destructive mindsets they held before.
Right now, with the help of a few who recognize the path we are taking are indeed making a stand against our destruction.
The only person you have to blame for our present condition is yourself. You have the power to change and as long as you have this power to change,
the responsibility lies with you if you so desire it to.
I would go with whichever race irregardless of their past actions, but by their present (ask the neighbors
) just so long as that I would have the
freedom to learn inner knowledge and knowledge of the natural world (aka science)
Right now our own planet offers both freedoms, but not to the extremes that a race far more advanced spiritually/ technologically.
