There are some big problems in this world and you are one of them. You see most people (ok maybe not you after all)… but most people are pointless, moronic, arrogant, meat sacks. They are absurd automatons, preprogrammed and preconditioned by the twisted society that we have created and they are subconsciously responsible for its continuation and will eventually be the cause of its self destruction… still… you have to laugh don't ya.
One of the biggest problems with people put quite simply, is there are too many of them. Through advances in medicine, diet and social support systems, more people are living longer and breeding faster than ever before. The stocks of the human beast have reached unmanageable numbers, and continue to grow at an exponential rate. And because humans are little more than all consuming parasites, who return very little to the world in exchange for all of the things they take, it is the world itself as a whole that is suffering.
Too many people kill and eat too many animals and fish, too many people drink and use too much fresh water. Too many people use and burn too much fuel. Too many people have no idea that their everyday lives are going to be the cause of the end of our existence.
Now I know what you're thinking, "Hey I'm not like that, I do my bit" and maybe you do, maybe you and your family and all your friends and their friends to do in fact "do their bit". Sadly your bit is fucking pointless because as mentioned before there are now so many people (and let's face it most of them are stupid) that any tiny little concession to saving the planet that you make is wiped out a million fold… every fucking second by the hordes of morons out there. Your children will have to deal with some of the problems being created right now, and your grandchildren are going to have a truly shit time of it. Go beyond that and everything is going to start looking like scenes from Mad Max 3, I promise you.
So what can we do?
Nothing, we've fucked it. There are no solutions that are going to be acceptable and do enough to change things because we've already tripped past the point of no return. We're doomed and there's nothing you or I can do to prevent it.
One of the reasons that this line of thinking is not evident to most people is that most people are incredibly short sighted. Their conception of anything beyond their immediate situation is very limited. There has been in recent times an effort to get people to think further ahead and to consider the consequences of their actions but this is in direct opposition to the influence of the huge money making machine that out civilization has turned into. There is a direct conflict between the short term (and when I say short I mean one human lifespan) and the long term needs of our race.
And because most people are short sighted and very impressionable, they play their part in the continuation of the greed fueled, corporate driven economy perfectly. They go to the supermarket and they buy their preprocessed and packaged food. They buy a new car every 8 years (just like they're supposed to). They vacation every year and feel put out if they don't get to. They purchase more and more pointless and poorly conceived merchandise (iPad anyone?) in a pathetic attempt to satiate their misconceived desire to be "happy". And all this without even a passing thought to the consequences of this kind of lifestyle on a mass scale.
Yep we’re fucked.
Sorry.
