We've Created A Human Civilization Hell-Bent On Destroying Itself

[Locrian]

3. we still have not evolved to be "long term"

and probably won't.....

two things
* cheap energy in the form of fossil fuels allowed us to expand at an unchecked rate
* monetary system / capitalism that drives a continuing "growth" mentality

so now we have come to the point that we are all completely dependent on a system of cheap energy, ever expanding "economy" based on infinite growth, and we've hit the walls of the little petri dish we call earth.

the dynamics of turning that around, changing attitudes, economies, etc do not give me much confidence we're going to make it.
