    It's human nature to prefer to spend now and adapt, rather than to save for tomorrow. We'll adapt, we'll survive as a species, I can't help but feel like the golden years are behind us...

      I've just come across this, Planetary boundaries

      We've impacted the Earth to our detriment, I feel, for the sake of chasing money. We need to rethink what it means to live in peace and harmony on this living planet of ours.

        Do you think we’ll be rational? Or we need to speedrun system failure to force success? I think the latter, based on the evidence. There is no will unless catastrophe is imminent.
