Why does the Universe have an opinion about existence?
I dont believe it does.

God doesn't exist (though there is a tiny, tiny chance there's some higher power that doesn't intervene, because the human intelligence gap is unreasonably huge, making humans undeniably special)
Every organized religion is a cult
Free will is an illusion
Aliens most likely exist, given the insane size of the universe and we know life can exist here
Humans will still always give in to their brutal tribal instincts and that's why the world is how it is

Cogito ergo sum.
Accepting a common framework of provable, i.e., measurable, repeatable, falsifiable phenomena, as a concept of "reality," seems to be a pragmatic approach, given my sensory inputs and the processing results of my brain. This is then "knowledge."
But ultimately, this is subordinated to the possibility of an illusion – be it like in The Matrix, or as a Boltzmann brain, or whatever. Unless there is evidence for that, it appears most practical to me to go with the above, as I don't gain anything from racking my brain about such possible illusions of reality (even though it's fun thinking about it).
Or you might just be wrong or uninformed. That will certainly contribute to your current beliefs. Whenever you make a decision it is based on a belief. The belief being that you're making the best choice based on your other beliefs. Be it scientific measurements, theorems and equations, it always has a margin of error actual grandness of which we truly are unaware of, because all one can be are aware of are just models of reality embed in ones mind by sensory input one were able to recieve and ones mental capabilities. of course the beliefs which are practical are the most likely to survive the test of time, however it does not prove them to be absolutely true, they're just true enough for their application and propagation.The world is just too complex and unpredictable for human beings to operate in without considerate use of belief.

I really don't know where you get your assumptions from but they are terrible
The only reason society exists is because of a fucktonne of rules going back several thousand years about how you are supposed to behave in a society
If you want to see what barebones humans without societal rules, read up on feral children
I really don’t know where you get your assumptions from but they are terrible
I simply followed the logic from "The human population of over 8 billion is inherently evil, and greedy", then determined that if that were true society couldn't exist in the state it does now.
The only reason society exists is because of a fucktonne of rules going back several thousand years about how you are supposed to behave in a society
If everyone were as you claimed them to be (Inherently Evil, Greedy, etc) they would not abide by those rules and society would exist in anarchy. This is the logical conclusion of your assertion regarding general human behavior. This means that humans cannot be inherently evil because we currently do not exist in anarchy where everyone is doing and taking what they want.

If you want to see any animal at their worst, put them in a life or death survival situation.

That coffee cup is suspicious though.

That is a baseless assumption, not a foundation for a logical argument. You have to change it into a question in order for it to be a hypothesis
Otherwise you are just making stuff up and justifying it to sound good
If you want to see any animal at their worst, put them in a life or death survival situation.
Incorrect, and based of of feelings of what sounds good instead of truth.
Humans at their worst is when they have power over other humans and consider them subhuman. This is not a baseless assumption like yours, but rather based off of history and psychology. A desperate person in a life or death situation may kill a few, but out of desperation not cruelty. A person with power over others he considers subhuman can kill MILLIONS
