The Depths of Demolition

In a finite world, growth cannot be infinite. But the American Dream is based on infinite growth. Does this mean fighting for the climate is inherently against American culture? I don’t think so – I refuse to believe that. The American Dream is defined by wanting a better life. Wanting a better life is not just to want material things but to want a better, healthier planet as well.

The idea of humanity depending upon only certain countries for help is scary to me. I hope it never comes down to that. That would inevitably lead to revolt. That could mean the end of humanity.

The current economic model is based off of the individualistic and hedonistic values of a consumer society. It is against preserving the climate. Is there a way we can fix this? How? How much would we have to give up? How much of a difference would that actually make?

We tell ourselves tales because we cannot ask ourselves those difficult questions. We bury our heads in the sand like ostriches because to view reality is to give up too much. If we do not, the glass shatters in our minds. We are not okay. We live in delusion as we spiral further and further into the depths of demolition.
