So many symptoms, so little time.
I find little hope for a better future when a world of people continually act as if minor inconveniences were the end of the world, and put them off and ignore them only to have them pile up and multiply, morphing these once minor problems into possibilities of future catastrophes.

The same goes with a world of people that value human wants over the needs of all other nun-human life on this planet. Mindsets of the types that subject all value to human use have little value to me. Value of only these things perceived to be of use to humans is a death call for those that are not of said use, as those other things only take up space for these valued things, and therefore must be done away with. This destroys redundancies, creates homogeneity (it's efficient!), forges weak links in the chains that sustain us, and has already been the end of many a thing. What will stop such from being the end of many of us? I mean, when you poison your waters, desertify your crop land, overfish the oceans, dam up the rivers that fish spawn in, deforest rainforests, pollute the air, start using less efficient fuel methods all the while consuming more and more energy, and on top of that breed like fuck, where can you expect to get?

Many pay lip service to progress, but act as if there's no tomorrow.
Not that there's any contradiction here. Funny thing, though, that those that believe their end is near, and those that believe in the nearness of infinite abundance, both act with this same reckless abandon. But why, when you say the end is nowhere near, yet at the same time see that this infinite abundance seems further and further away, less and less attainable, why continue such beliefs that fly in the face of any and all evidence contrariwise? what is the reason for this? Does not the progression of disaster increase daily?
