Let’s face it, there are several doomsday articles published on the internet daily and honestly after a few days of reading some I’m expecting the apocalypse to hit any minute now.
From nuclear catastrophe to climate change and a whole other range of possible Armageddon scenarios I feel like the true message is getting lost amidst all the doom and gloom. The way I see it we all have a role to play in this possible utopian future. Yes, we are responsible and yes, we are not doing nearly enough to save ourselves.
If there is one thing we are really good at, it’s romanticism of the absurd. When bad, ridiculous or catastrophic things happen, we write books, make movies, make podcasts, make them into case studies and lecture them in our universities. It’s good entertainment. Heck! Some people have turned reporting on disasters into thriving businesses.
Maybe it’s our love for great stories. Apocalypse makes for a great setting huh?
Maybe so but imagine living through a real one.
Fact: Global warming is real, climates are changing, the world is changing and we can do something about it. For years some people have built bunkers to protect themselves for when the end arrived, some believe that it is an inevitable end, an event predestined by the gods.
At this rate though, we. are surely going to have a premature apocalypse. Religious people please don’t come for me. My point is that we must do more, we should be real with each other, big corporations and our politicians. We must demand more from those who have the power to change things. We should certainly hold people accountable because when things on this beautiful chunk of rock go to shit I doubt there will be enough of Elon Musk’s spaceships to ship all 7 billion of us to the red planet.
