the cornucopians, they have no bad intentions - they just want our wonderful, magical world to continue. their gaze is focused on the beauty of human ingenuity. who could blame them? we could explore space together, in peace, till the end of times.
the climate youth, they are not mislead or naive. they are maybe the most aware generation of our species that ever existed. they see humanities lost future in all its terrifying clearness, because they will have to live, or survive in it. who could blame them?
the fossil fuel extraction culture, they know they have been providing the energy for this wonderful human experiment. this knowledge is the core of their identity. they are proud of themselves for it. can you blame them for your consumption of what they provided to you?
the political class, who has to negotiate between all these groups, which is for sure no fun, they won't think anything different than that they have done their best. they see that confirmed, every time they get re-elected. so can you blame them?
so at the end of the day, no one is to blame. every group will tell themselves that their assumptions were right and they have done their very best to resolve the situation. yet still, it persists. so what now? every group keeping on rambling in their respective incomplete ways?
and here is my little lie, what i am telling myself to justify my insignificant existence: what if we learned listening to each other, in humility and awareness that our POV will always be incomplete, and try to understand each other instead of seeking to validate our lives?
