If it were I'd expect to see my leaders and people around me taking a keen interest in the continued existence of things like people, furry things, trees that kinda stuff.
Luckily they all say invest in the corporations assuring our high milestones and keep consuming as much as possible. All the cool kids are! Drive like bats out of hell in behemoths. Just hurtle around almost nonsensically and spew as much pollution as you can out of the tailpipe of your lives before you depart this mortal coil. Fly everywhere you can. Now! Grab lunch in Miami and dinner in New York. Ah well. You gotta feel for some people. They may lament not leaving behind a great American novel or an NFL rushing title to be remembered by but whenever someone in the future flips the pages in a book showing overflowing gardens and clean, clear waters filled with life they will certainly remember their legacy.
