Hopefully, intelligent life that is actually intelligent would develop elsewhere. ;) I used to think it would be tragic to lose all that humans have accomplished, but all that we've "accomplished" we only see as accomplishments as a result of our nature. There is no objective value in anything humans have ever done. We’d probably be doing the Universe a favor if the human race went extinct.

I can be a complete ass and still make the world a better place--it is harder, but doable.

Kindness does not help here. And here is your weak point: If you teach the others to be kind with each other (this is what we were taught), you don't change anything. The world came to this point with man's kindness and good intentions. Yes, you can be kind even to your enemy and having kind conversation while in war with him.

The world came to this point with man’s kindness and good intentions.

I don't think love is required, I can be kind and understanding to random people without having to love them.
