Despite being the dominant species of the planet, it feels like being human is a twisted curse rather than a blessing. Like a cruel monkey paw where we have self-awareness but no self-control.

How do you cope with this?

lol no

The only way someone could think is if they're being dramatic and going out of their way to ignore everything good in their life.

We have self-awareness but no self-worth as a species.

Well, the US show had four great seasons and had a satisfying finale. Considering it aired on Syfy where I'm lucky if to get three seasons of a show I like, I think that's a pretty good run.

Not well. This species, in general, sucks ass. I, for one, would not mind its impending self-inflicted extinction if it wasn't also poised to take just about every other life form on this rock down with it.
