I see that humans are
in the process of accelerating our extinction by focusing on short-term
profiteering. The alarm bells to me are
an anvil chorus of industry and a desert of apathy. I say and do what I can, but ultimately I
accept human extinction in the way I accept my inevitable death whenever that
might occur, the termination of Earth long-after human extinction and the
longer thereafter collapse of the universe into itself with the contemplation that
in all likelihood the mass and energy that comprises us has played out this
theater countless iterations before.
I accept this, yet I
read and write daily. The superficial
routines of most of humanity often appear pointless to me. I see why these hold value to so many others
and at times to myself, but these actions, thoughts, debates more often appear
like staring at highway accidents.
Certainly they are
noteworthy in the short term for casual mention from the standards of squawk
boxes, but unless linked to the underlying systematic foundational lynchpins of
how and why human society and the universe we inhabit function, I am for the preponderance
disinterested.
I have sought out
people who seem to be sensitive to our universe to pick up on these stimuli. These people, mostly other introverts, are
far between, not entirely rare, but difficult to engage in reality. They are mostly found in the written word,
often deceased and in many respects the best friends I never had.
Thank you: Albert,
Christopher, Noam, Stephen, Richard, Soren, Douglas, Sigmund, Mahatma, Friedrich, Gore,
Salman, and so many more.
