28. Probably didn't do a good job making myself clear

When I referred to "hardware" I was talking about our nervous system which was, and too a large extent remains, hardwired for certain responses to environmental inputs. We're still are wired for "fight or flight", for dealing well with short term disasters and really no way to deal with long term, oncoming disasters like climate change. Sad truth is we really don't have the necessary mental makeup to deal with the mess we've created.

I'm afraid the reality is we've gone too far down a dead end path and there really isn't anyway to turn around and get ourselves on a sustainable trajectory. My only hope is that I'm just a regular shlub and what do I know, I hope there's stuff going on that we aren't aware of that will surprise us all.

If there isn't well then "Say goodnight Gracie".
