14. But that could change

If the next few years are far worse than the last few, in terms of natural disasters, people may be far more willing to "sacrifice" their illusionary wealth (that provides no happiness) for a shot at existence. One thing that must be done in the meantime is to chip away at the cornucopian green promise of absolute infinite growth and environmental balance (its just bullshit). People need to be bold with the idea that a new (not worse or better) way of life needs to be adapted immediately or there is no shot.

I am not sure if its likely to change or not. Normally Im quite the pessimist. And honestly, Im pretty well set whether it does or not (completely sustenance is easy for me & my family). The earth will bounce back regardless. Its so strange how we have this instinct to reach out to other humans, even knowing that our own ability to thrive thus far is what endangers our own future ability to exist.
