Humans are creatures of habit. That is why history repeats itself - we are creatures of habit who, as a species, tend not to learn very well from our mistakes... so we recreate those same mistakes at every opportunity.
Humans, as a species, are panicky herd beasts, and the panic setting in does not improve their prospects.
A few more enlightened ones, here and there, can take a new path... but the masses, the herd, is gonna burn some crap down whichever way it falls.
I'm not trying to be alarmist, nor am I promoting war in the streets... but what I do or don't do will not affect anything in the slightest. What comes, comes, and as history indicates, it might not be optimal - and I believe that forewarned is forearmed. I hate surprised of an unpleasant variety, and would rather everyone be prepared for darker days instead of being blindsided by them.

That is not me. But I have always been the odd one out. I was the one that was accepted by all the cliches, because I refused to join any of them.
I am the one that if you tell me it can't be done, I will find a way, even if it is not perfect, I will at least identify possibilities.
As long as people continue to believe they can't do or be better, they won't.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
