That poem sounds like a bad nightmare, Dave.
Just a whimper from the 'void', Nob. When 'logic' fails, resort to violence. No change there... Hardly science though, is it?

Not at all Greg. I now understand that it is possibly Humanity's only hope! I know that sounds pessimistic, but it is actually not when it is realised how far from Reality we have strayed. The truly pessimistic option is to do nothing and pretend it isn't happening... (Or appeal to some authority like the 'cops' or 'CIA', of course..)

Our contradictions are killing us, and those who promote more of the same simply do not care enough, or feel as though they might have to give up something comfortable (their illusions!), which amounts to the same thing.

People look after the things they have affection for. It is thus essential that we learn to have affection for the planet that sustains us.

"The sense of threat from every quarter of what is known as the Establishment – which is to say, of modern civilization – is not altogether a put-on or an act for many of these young folk, but an actual condition of soul. The break-off is real, and what is being bombed and blown up outside are actual symbols of interior fears." - Joseph Campbell
