The sad thing is it sounds about right, Igno. Generations of risk-taking have made us rash, our education system has failed us, and unenlightened hedonism is winning out over reason and sanity.
And I’ve suspected for years that this is because there’s too many people. Not because there’s not enough food to sustain us, but because we only have a finite number of social roles to fill in society and we’re leaving a lot of the population to do nothing but fester:
Fun fact: I can remember once watching Kyle Kallgren’s review of Lars von Trier’s Melancholia and hearing him open by explaining that, while every generation has feared the end of the world, it looks like we’re the first generation that’s starting to become okay with that. And with all this, plus the fact that it’s becoming increasingly clear that global warming is creating irreversible problems on Earth, it’s becoming harder to disagree.
