Eldorado Posted October 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Across the political spectrum, there is a pervasive and growing feeling that the human enterprise is in a death spiral. It is 113 degrees in Phoenix, Arizona — no surprise there — but also in Medford, Oregon. Microplastics have been found in remote Arctic plateaus, the depths of ocean trenches, and in the placenta of the newborn. Even the raindrops and snowflakes are full of poison. An aging tyrant has made a desperate play to expand his borders, plunging the global economy into chaos as he hints at nuclear holocaust. Meanwhile, a handful of oligarchs dream of fleeing this planet for the stars, as if Earth was some disposable stepping stone for their adventures. https://futurism.com/the-human-family-in-crisis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're trying to prepare us for the inevitable and telling climate change deniers to get their heads out of the sand. They should have done this years ago but you can't let the annihilation of humanity interfere with greed and egos can we. Such is life when the earth is in this state is a pretty gloomy and give-in attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I myself have been telling all of you that Russia was intent on taking over the world and rebuilding the 'union'...for the last 5 years...when everyone was saying, better keep our eyes on China I was saying...better keep our eyes on Russia to the chagrin of most! The inevitable is that the Communist will rule the world long before the climate kills any of us...but...I digress... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely differnt clade And it is pretty much a given, that had the dinosaurs not been destroyed by an Asteroid that small nocturnal mammals would have never evolved...nor...most probably would birds have evolved. My point is, that all life has one thing in common...we live, we die. Hand ringing about the state of the human race is a pointless exercise because it only increases the fear in one's mind. The truth is, Humanity has never been anything other than what we are right now...Selfish and Self Serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tongue in cheek joke...but the reality is my friend...they have been ruling since the beginning. The history of the human race is Conquering and Ruling the Conquered. Imagine for a moment...Russia actually used a nuke...is the guaranteed response nuclear destruction world wide? What if no one responded? Just one move in a never ending chess game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
