Some are I'm not. The flower has no meaning but is beautiful and I'd like to admire it for as long as I can.
I been hoping and arguing for a radical change in human attempts to reverse the negative impacts we have.
I think renewable energy and its many new advances has been for awhile now one of the potential answers.
I just think that for the most, now it's probably too late.
Isnt it edgy when they say they dont give a fuck. To say that I'm a too attached.. to humanity I'm stuck. That the planet will not care and nor should we. Convenient narrative ...leave it be.
Their paradox is that our insignificant selves. Have now created a problem so grand. To change it is impossible. What a fucking hypocritical stance.
Did you have breakfast this morning. Can you see the ongoing clues. The very nature of your existances proves. I am attached and so the fuck are you.
Indoctrination of deadly reinforcements. Force fed by complexes of evil. Led to slaughter blind conformists. Forgetting the earth is also people.
So when the tommorows unseen become your todays. When consequences borne of a constant malaise. When the waters are polluted and the skies full of smoke. Can you still hide behind the safety of being edgy and woke?

Maybe we will see a new age, global cataclysm is imminent, the last age was only 2000 years ago, where have we ended up?
Is this what we make out of the legacy of Jesus, or maybe this was planned out all along.
We keep on advancing further and further for what purpose? Since when did we become so scared of death, what will it take for us to see the traps we are running into, we have become enemies of earth. Either way it is pointless at this point seeing and not seeing.
Our souls have become weak, unable to free our minds.
We are too far gone, and we have been too far gone since the death of Jesus.
This new age has been an age of trial. Now the jury of cataclysm is ready to come up with a verdict.
As prophecised a cataclysm is half way through our doorstep, We will all succumb to trial, and only brightest few will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
My plan is to isolate ourselves and plant our roots deep, and defend my folk and my patch.

I grew up around a lot of commune hippies.
The sad thing is.. These people were so focused some impending crisis or another, that a lot of them stopped living their lives.
Now they are retirement age and cannot claim social security because they worked under the table their entire adult life.
Its good to be prepared, just don't let it get in the way of your future.
If any global crisis happens, literally the only thing youll be able to do is go live in the wilderness.
The economy could collapse Our currency could hyper-inflate Our power grid could be taken out by an EMP or cyber attack Nuclear war/nuclear disaster Global famine or disease Yellowstone could fucking blow up
You could obsess forever about all of these things. Every one of these things are completely out of your control. Obsessing about things you have 0 control over is not healthy and counterproductive.
The 5 stages of grief: 1. Denial and isolation; 2. Anger; 3. Bargaining; 4. Depression; 5. Acceptance.
As it is now, our entire way of life is too based on unsustainable practice. Without Semi trucks, our grocery stores run empty and our economy grinds to a halt.
All this talk about getting rid fossil fuel cars by 2030 is a fucking fantasy. Is everyone justsupposed to take the bus everywhere? lol That stuff works in Europe because of how small Europe is.

Of course it's possible to accomplish this without help from a higher power.

Before I disappear into hyperspace for the day, I recall reading a solid paper claiming "eras" for civilization only last roughly 200-400 years on average, and the USA is approaching 245 years old, lol. Something to think about. Lots of data supports the rise and falls of civilizations, societies, and empires in said time frames.
See you all tomorrow with my super rad trip report (6g dried is starting to kick)!
