WHAT DO HUMANS DESERVE?

i can't imagine a more poorly managed or frightening government than the present iteration of the US. and the fact that this nation controls half the world's military and most of its nuclear weapons, along with much of the global economy, is truly incredible. the childish, narcissistic and profoundly unintelligent racist hate-monger who apparently has ultimate control of this military edifice and its potential for annihilation is a disgrace not only for the people who support him, and all americans, but for all the world's complicit people and governments.

this is a profoundly poor time for anyone anywhere to cling to a past order that is patently incapable of solving the problems of the present or the future. people of the world, if you are waiting for your government to save you, you are doomed.

are we a race that even deserves to survive? we have lately acquired so much knowledge of the natural world and its history in the cosmos, we have solved so many critical problems of continuing life on earth and we know now so much about who we are, what life is and what we must do, it should be easier than ever in our history to put earth and all its life on a sustainable path.

time to prove we can do it. and, unfortunately, it seems to depend on the poorly educated and often deliberately misled american public to anoint the process that is necessary to make it happen; another frightening thought.
