If things really go south (continue on this projectory with business as usual), my ecosystem will be only slightly more capable of supporting life than a city. I understand that. That is just life. I'm ok with that. I can't cling on an impossible dream, but only do my best for my children and teach them the skills my father taught me.

In any case, this problem isn't about me and you and petty snipping on the internet. Its about what is happening to a system that we are apart of, and what this ultimately means to the organisms within that system who are, by in large, much too insignificant to individually fix it or even guarantee their own survival. I think we have been cultured to accept that if we just keep doing more and more (burn more energy), any one of us can fix anything; sometimes I can't help but see that as a problem in itself. And surely, our inability to examine this system and recognize our own patterns, identifying which behaviors perpetually lead to failure, is definitely not helping to fix anything.

To summarize my position and bring this to an end, I find ultimate futility in the notion of assuring humans that they can keep on committing the same errors while being promised some amount of ingenuity will solve all problems. After thousands of years, I can only see the errors continue and multiply, or the ingenuity being incapable of obtaining resolution. After all, we are where we are today.
