I understand your feeling i felt the same as you exactly..
But a feeling when we see apes killing themselves for no reason dont means that these apes dont have "soul" ...WE are apes and we are souls.
Soul existence is demonstrated now my medical serious inquiry in hospitals : NDE and this out of any reasonnable dobts...
Paranormal perception at distance "remote viewing" was proven by the CIA long ago, and is now easily demonstrated and proven everywhere whwere it is studied...
Out of body experience (astral travel) is no more a belief but demonstrated as real beginning with Robert Monroe long ago training military and CIA and civilians...
Then your complaint which i partake completely about apes evil do not prove they dont have "soul" it only proves they are ignorant and sleepwalking into rage...
I can go way more in depth but you will think i am mad....

If you dont look for the soul you will not discover it even in yourself ...
Statistics of murders dont change the truth...

You know, with the horrendous job humans do of our being rational / compassionate human beings and aligning with our self interest. About 10,000,000 people die a year at the hands of other humans. Soul? We are a bunch of ignorant blood thirsty animals. Sure, it’s nice to feel there is more meaning than instinctual behavior. There really isn’t much objective evidence we have emotionally evolved from the slim. We have a long way to go before we can be internally gazing and praising ourselves for having something special inside.
I’m not saying AI will fix that... but we have little footing to stand on saying the status quo is anything to be proud of or cherish.
I mean, think about it... you have in front of you the person that will take your life from you. With a machete or a group with guns... the horror... and this happens millions of times each year.
I highly recommend this organization. Our World in Data. It is affiliated with Oxford University and used big data to but the world into perspective. It is a wealth of objective knowledge. I donate monthly and they are in my will. Here are just a couple references. Many more exist for instance the % of world population extinguished by different wars. Genghis Khan holds the record. I don’t remember off the top of my head but I think he extinguished ~36% of the world’s population!
