I've been thinking about this a while. I'm a greedy motherfucker..
You're all greedy motherfuckers too, I'd care to wager..
Spare me your sharp intake of breath and faux-outrage protestations; you know it too.
We, I say we as in the collective human we, are on a one way track to destroying this planet. We are a parasite on it. We dig shit out of it, pollute the fuck out of it and generally unbalance the equilibrium of nature that is key to it's survival.
I live in a house that is probably 10 times bigger than what I probably need to live in for shelter and survival comfortably. I drive a car that can seat 8 people when it's usually just me, two at the most. It's probably in the worst economy bracket with shithouse aerodynamics blah blah.. I don't really do much to contribute to extending our existence on this planet other than recycling the plastic cartons that my over processed milk came in.
We use an insane amount of energy heating and cooling massive spaces for minimum people. Buying shit we don't really need and creating ways to entertain ourselves into isolation. Getting to places we didn't really need to go to faster than we probably needed to get there.
I buy food with ridiculous packaging that I don't even think about, The manufacturer packed it that way because they were a greedy motherfucker too. We throw out so much food at the end of the week that was not consumed. More waste..
We know that if we continue that fossil fuels will be depleted. All that carbon has to go somewhere. More imbalance. As the population grows, we need more water. Water cannot be made, it can only be changed in form. More deficit.
We put so much shit in our food to maximise the profit made from it that it is obviously affecting the health of the population across the globe.
Sure, it wont come to a head in my time. Maybe not even in my great grandchildren's lives, if I have any, but it will eventually..
Where comes the point when we are forced to put survival in front of greed?
Personally I don't think it'll happen. Greed will win out. I don't think the average human can put it aside. I think greed will continue and see one country/race/religion/group try and obliterate the rest so they can have what's left and wipe the whole lot of human existence out.
I think we are approaching our finite existence on an exponential scale.
