it'd take the entire world to communicate and agree upon a common, profitles$ agenda for us to actually create a p-p-positive change. a nice salsa of human minds and emotions uniting?

not a chance.

(but do you know when it will happen? when we're all staring at that meteor careening straight down on us in the sky and we all know we're gonna die. all of us. it'll be the first and last time our entire species planet people all did something together, regardless of race creed class or sex: die. everybody's equally alive, and equally dead. it's actually more beautiful than you'd want to believe and although i fear death more than i can express, i honestly wouldn't mind. we'd all be together, no one missed/missing you.)

shit you already know: every other animal on this here green i think earth adapts to maintain survival. they call it evolution. us thinkingass people, however, now adapt by inventing ways to deal with it. it's all in the conscious brain, no instincts. our unholy technological compromise. settling, distracting, replacing- anything other than being active in addressing the real issue at hand. people do it every day with jobs, relationships, dinner plans, sex, etc. so many defensive motives protecting our neurotic feeble fragile selves. this applies to almost everything. but right now i'll stick with our sun death.

we're fucked already because we've had this trememdous insecure urge to advance everything and knowknowknow everything to make life easier, faster, more productive since the beginning of it, this, us, time. we couldn't just be happy maintaining and being alive and enjoying subtle things like love and laughter. instead of building honest friendships and relationships we built machines and tools and theories. we're the only living creatures that looks at homeostasis and thinks,
"no fuck that, i wanna be on the winning side of that shit".

we've ironically made factories and burnt and built for centuries just so we'd have the tools and technology to realize- we've killed ourselves and this planet. god is laughing we're such a joke.
yes you can point out the tangible reasons as to what's causing the polution- machines and burning fuel and more useless yadada i don't care to know, because those aren't the reasons. those are the results of the real basic problem: human beings are consumers on every level.

so what's the solution? no that's what i'm saying. there is none. well, the only solution is to believe there is a solution, and keep fighting. and that applies to almost any conflict that involves mass amounts of human beings for me. but also, our natural desire to consume anything and everything needs to be addressed moreso than science. we need to admit it, then consciously be aware of it, in hopes to control it to a better extent. i know i am. it's a much more overwhelming, idealistic approach but we must stop focusing on immediate solutions. they are only distractions. it will only prolong the inevitable consequences of our basic problem. and if it's not reasonable, too idealistic, good. not to be a dumb young liberal democrat, but fuck realistic. that's the problem when you're trying to make a real change. the day we aren't idealistic anymore, then we might as well enjoy ourselves and let this shit burn. (our generally simple minds focusing on distractions as opposed to the real basic problem also applies to almost anything involving a mass population [government/politics] but again, not right now)

look, i support and respect green earth activists, but i will never be able to fool myself into thinking a green earth is worth more than green money to the people in charge of this world. we're mostly a terrible species. but it is important to always counter bullshit with an active attitude and action, if it's what you're interested in. my life is devoted to keeping alive the subtle things in life, like love and laughter through the behavior of the characters in a story. i'm just declaring my homeostastic opinion on global warming, it's important to still feel like you're part of this world.

i suggest you convince as many rich, charitable people that global warming is a problem and you'll stand a chance.

me? in all judge-me honesty, i myself, for now, am going to watch our mint chip sunday planet melt in the soupy sun. because i'm very interested in seeing what we're made of (yes this is what i was born to do, saving the earth was assigned to somebody else). i want to see what our tipping point is for survival. i swear to god i can imagine us still not giving a shit that it's 132 degrees in a half flooded los angeles. we'd just make stronger sunscreen, better air condiitoners, drinks with more advanced hyrdating ingredients. the same companies will cash in on all of this, and you'll feel better about it all when you've got the best we-should-be-dead prevention products. because we're too smart to die, it wouldn't be good business.

in fact, we're too smart for our own survival instincts in general. we hardly have any anymore. our dependence on all things not attached to our bodies is so innate now, we're hardly animals anymore.

and even when that meteor straight from god's asshole comes for us, i'm sure we'll try and blast that away with technology.

but i'm almost hoping it doesn't work. call me romantic.
