3. This does not restore faith in people - it condemns us all

A screaming crying koala racing to escape a forest we set on fire does not restore my faith in humanity - it does the exact opposite.

Stories like this reassure us we are good - we are not. We have to stop sharing children’s just-so stories - feel-good fantasy will speed the way to mass extinctions - each with its own type of horror like a koala running from the forest screaming, crying, on fire.
