Ego The Dying Planet

Ego the dying planet

No one is going to like this, but I don't care. I do what I want because of ego's demands. Gotta love all these political-optics plants yelling and screaming about the climate lately. Where was this narcissistic tragi-comic theatre back in the 1970s when the climate trends became known and the term "global warming" was first used and there was still time to actually do something about it? Well of course there are a few reasons why this is a hot happening now instead of back when it would have meant something. One is that this topic has now become a popular hysteria and madness delivery system/breakdown device. If you are mentally unstable and about to crack at any moment, then the climate or sexual harassment or whyte supremacy or Trump are all the hottest trains to ride while you lose your fucking mind. You can look all around you and your fellow cult member train riders are mostly in the same mental state you are, so you can take a bit of comfort in your community trainwreck.

Mental disorder has never been as accute or widespread as it is now and that blends well with the fact there has never been more opportunity/easier access to publicly display your breakdowns. Get them views, babybitches.

Every day brings fresh comedy. But don't ever think that it is all spontaneous and sincere, rather than orchestrated and calculated.

Yeah. All the protesting is about human vanity and ego, along with stroking the collective delusion that we are wonderful enough to save the world or change whatever (we're not and we can't). Oh look at me. Feel sorry for me. Acknowledge me. Watch me while I stand up for justices and the planets. Watch us be real heeroze, player. Right.. It is not about saving the fucking planet or crying about racism or harassment or launching preemptive strikes on all white male monsters, no matter how loud you scream and how expertly you cry and piss your pants during your unhinged tantrums. Gurrl please. If humanity deserved an ecosystem that was not dying, a planet not in decay, and a world where everyone plays well with others and we can all just get along, then we would have that by now. We would have selflessly dropped everything at the first moment it was clear that all these things were not ideal and we would have resolved to do everything in our power toward the remedy of each ill. Don't be stupid. Ourselves and our predecessors, who were once here taking up the spaces we are wasting now, how long have we been over the same things again and again and never learned and never successfully worked our problems? It is a perpetual cycle of failure, enhanced lately by all our advanced tools and toys that are now cleverly twisted enough to finally do the damage we've always dreamed of.

Stop acting like the major human issues are new and that they are solvable without a complete redesign of our species. Only our little individual problems can sometimes be fixed; the history-arc empirically proven human problems..well that's our ass. If only we could have been the noble creature that all our fictions have fantasized about and yearned for us to be. The most simple truth, once you have eliminated delusion and vanity, is that we deserve what we get. The only actual deviation from justice here is the fact many other species on this planet undeservedly had their natural course of existence irreparably altered by us. A fate wholly dependent on us only because they were endangered by us and they will now whole ass die because we could not just stop being so very us. Two standard human features, selfishness and ego, were powerful enough to end multiple species and not just the deserved One. This is not unexpected, but still a disgrace nonetheless.

Too late now to prevent mass species extinctions over the next seventy years and beyond. Too late to prevent this planet from becoming a living hell (which has already begun where I live, as pictured above)..but even this isn't much compared to what it will be in 20 years. The Earth has been the luckiest planet out of any we currently know about. The Goldilocks Zone is a rarity and we've lived it this entire time, mostly taking it for granted really. But despite the fact the planet's distance from its star will not become anomalous (shit at least we haven't managed to fuck up our orbit yet), Goldilocks is on her deathbed anyway. It is a delicate boundary between human comfort and human misery. The conditions required for comfortable habitation can disappear relatively quickly but cannot be restored nearly as fast and certainly can't be restored by human hands. In a macro environment like a whole planet, it is even harder (implausible) to arrest climate trends and reverse them. Babybitch time would be better spent uselessly studying terraforming instead of uselessly running your hungry fuckmouth protesting every damned useless thing to, at best, possibly become a useless trending topic on twitter.

Best course of action for anyone at this point is to live out the best life you can. And try not to be annoying.

Try to help when and where it is asked for.

Try to stay the fuck out of other people's business and stop meddling in the lives of others, uninvited. If you are so sensitive about harsh tones or improper words being used in your delicate ears, then maybe it is time to also get some sensitivity training about improper meddling as well. If you are not invited to do something and you do it anyway, you are a fucking creep. That applies to many other areas of life and not just the ones you say it is officially applied to.

Try to stop marginalizing the voices or vilifying the lives of others, due to perceived race, perceived class, or perceived sexual/religious/political denominations.

Try to accept each person as an individual rather than as the group *you think* they best fit into.

If you really want to stomp feet and cry and shout at the true enemy, the main villain, then you need to direct the tantrums to yourself first because it all begins there. You can rebuild that. Changing the world is just words until the change starts with you. Voice and visibility raised in useless protest has no meaning or value to anything but ego. Nothing can ever be saved or fixed if ego cannot be moved to the backseat. It has been driving far too long. We're all fucking stupid. Sit down and shut up. Embrace your worthlessness.

If it is not too late, we need to accept the fact we were never as great as our hype always affirmed us. We will never live up to the lofty ideals of our poetry. We are almost entirely useless trash as a species. Break it all down to that. Humble yourselves as an entire population. Only then could we finally be open to learning from the perpetually repeated mistakes and possibly deserve to succeed with the task of improving an uncertain future. Because, ego to ego, I promise you that all your hopes and dreams for this world will be crushed and no great potential will be realized while continuing to be an assortment of magnificent human egos with all the competitive talking and screaming and marching and pissing and crying and cruelty and ignorance and delusion.
