There is time, but that time is short. We live at the edge of imagination… a place we have only dared imagine in science fiction. Children alive today will live the real thing. Who says? Not me. But arguably the smartest member of our species. See below. Of course, Hawkins would not be the first wise man to be ignored by selfish, self-indulgent, chattering humans submerged in their own mass denial.I am alarmed also, but it doesn't help much to blame "chattering humans" when there is overwhelming evidence that the capitalist system is driving us to consume more (mostly needless junk) all in the name of profits for those who benefit from the system. If you don't identify the source of a problem, what hope is there of solving it?
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
