Humanity is doomed in the short term by its own hand, and that is the absolute best fucking thing that can happen for the planet and the other life on it medium to long term.
We appear to be a self-solving blight upon the natural world. As the late, great George Carlin put it, the planet is ramping up to “shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance.”
As a species, we’ve proven beyond all doubt that we are too malicious to be stewards of this world, and too self-important to ever peacefully, recede in numbers in order to find equilibrium with this world as inhabitants, rather than have dominion over it.
Our macro-cancer ass of a species has got to go.
When you win/exploit/inherit/etc enough capital to live well for multiple lifetimes, it always perpexes me when people fixate on making more.
You won, go enjoy hobbies you can easily fund now, it’s just hoarding at this point. Capital is a means, and it’s kind of pathetic when people warp it into their end goal when it’s no longer the key limiter to their lifestyle.
It’s no different than hoarding newspapers, but at least many of those hoarders often demosntrate the self-awareness and recognition of embarrassment.
