Nope.
For that to happen, the good ones would need to be bad enough to shoot the really bad ones in the face.
We should have been blowing up pipelines and sinking mega yachts for decades by now.
But this civilization is just too damn polite to do more than kindly ask the parasites among us to please stop killing us before they don't have anything left to eat.
If things get better, if will be after we nearly go extinct.
And even after that, there will be some who take actions that risk the annihilation of us all, rather than have lass then others.
Yup, any catastrophe is a reset. But the problems in us remain. The fundamental shifts aren't learned. I gives weight to that idea of filters of civilizations. We can delay them, but not avoid them
