Hi friends. I hope you're doing well.

I don't know if this is a legitimate Herodotus quote, but it is one that I resonate with more and more lately. It's just all so frustrating. I'm watching the world burn and it seems like not enough people care, especially not those with the power to implement change. I just saw a new study saying that instead of the 12 year estimate for dealing with climate change, there may only be 5 years. Honestly sort of getting to a "What's the point?" state, and want to go make an off grid community and try to survive the coming apocalypse
Here is the article, which states that we need to have a transformation of our industrial system to have any hope of preventing huge climactic issues, and that has to happen within five years. Do I think it's likely? I'm not sure anymore. I know it's entirely possible. Look at the World War II industry changes. Look at the Space Race. When humanity comes together with a singular goal, it's amazing what can be accomplished. The issue is that because of our scarcity based system, everyone is struggling so hard to survive to tomorrow that they can't work towards fixing what comes after that. The much bigger, existential threat that is looming on the horizon. People keep putting it off, because they need to work to pay their rent, buy food, pay off debts, etc etc. Until a huge number of people understand the incompatibility of a system based on infinite growth with the natural world, I don't think things will improve.
It's getting very, very hard to stay optimistic.
Until next time,
Namaste
