Papa Sloppa here!
I decided to make my first legitimate post a broad and juicy one. I myself, being from a small state on the East Coast, USA, have more than enough time on my hands and observational skills to tell that things kind of seem to be heading downhill fast.
This isn't meant to be an overly negative post either, but this topic tends to get my brain juices flowing, especially in the times that we currently are living (or dying) in.
Its been recently proven that humans are mostly to blame for rapid climate change (did any sane person actually ever doubt that?). So, rapid climate change can be added to the myriad of reasons why we are our own worst enemies. Nuclear Tech, Political Agendas, Corporate Greed, Industrial Waste, Procreation, Religion, & Convenience all seem to have one thing in common.....what was at first created to promise order, growth, comfort, & prosperity for civilization has literally resulted in the opposite (chaos, recession, distrust, & poverty).
Progress is a funny & subjectively skewed word these days. This is something that plagues my mind every conscious second of every day. As negative as these statements may sound, this is simply my interpretation of simplifying an issue that has over complicated itself so exponentially, that it is almost guaranteed that no single human entity can save us from the path we are now strolling down. Does this mean aspiring to progress is futile altogether? Is this evidence that we have not & never will understand what it is we are doing here? I believe it will be far too late before any answers are provided to these questions. Please, let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree & why. I want to know what your noticing in your neck of the woods that you may feel nobody else is. What or when do you think will be the end of days for us (existence as we know it)? What could be our saving grace?
