Well I had the best of the USA (California in the 50’s - 60’s)

Now I may unfortunately get to see the very worst -for all humanity

It’s difficult not to be depressed when there is NO obvious way out - thx oligarchs and sociopathic greed

It was fun- while it lasted

We’re a failed species I’m afraid

To paraphrase Derrick Jensen: “It is easier for us to imagine extinction of the human species in the collapse of industrial civilization than to fight back.“ He asks why? https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/

He writes it is not a failure of our humanity. It is a failure of imagination in our species. He continues to believe, as I do, that it's not over until it's over and we as human beings are collectively capable at any moment to completely shift the trajectory of our evolution.

It's our cynicism that is a gift to the oligarchs. They WANT us to believe all is lost. They win by default when we throw up our hands in despair and give up. But it takes enormous courage not to become cynical. It takes our deepest experience of love and connection in the face of utter hopelessness to triumph. Humans have demonstrated this countless times over history.

Just sayin'. Stay in a space of love and reverence for life. No matter what. 💗
