“Gas is a little more convenient, so lets destroy our sole, shared, communal ecosystem we all rely on from one breath to the next so I don’t have to wait for my car to charge.”

Oh humans, don’t ever change. For Earth’s long-term sake, we need to make sure we commit to our species’ mass suicide for short term profit and convenience. No half measures.

Behold the “efficiency” of market capitalism the self-serving economists love crowing about.

Efficient at making wealthy sociopaths richer for doing nothing, using the value of your labor, and nothing else.

Yo-ho, all together, hoist the coooolors high…

and with enough money I don’t care.

Most people are like you.

Which is precisely why humanity will be just another of many dead end evolutionary cul-de-sacs in Earth’s natural history.

I’ve come to peace with that, but this is a nice microcosm of the core reason. We can do better, we know better, but at the end of the day, almost all of us will just take the animalistic dopamine rush of winning.

Live together or die alone. We choose the second one like breathing.

If most humans were like Kempf (we’re not), we’d actually have a chance.

Adderall makes me the functional depressive I am today!

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.
