My fellow humans.

This may be hard to hear, but that facts are now undeniable; and it must be understood by absolutely everyone on this planet.

It’s time to grow up.

We are at a turning point that WILL decide the fate of all human life on this planet.

The facts are known.

Climate change: Real

Evolution: Real

Age of Earth: Billions of years

Global pollution Level: Critical Level

Environmental collapse on current trend: Eminent.. (various estimates for timeline: none are perfect, but they all have the same conclusion)

Every system on this planet is collapsing. Environmental, fiscal, political, social..

Every single one.

Pollution, environment damage, pandemics, starvation, warfare..

The mechanism for the collapse is irrelevant, sooner or later one will fall, and start an unstoppable chain reaction.

The odds of total collapse in about 5 generations is now 100%, and the timeline is shrinking fast.

We have passed the point of no return.

A fact is a fact: even if no one believes it, and a falsehood is false even if everybody believes it.

Like it or not, YOU must:

Grow up,

and Man up.

Or we ALL

Die.

In an ironic twist that only random chance could provide : This planet still has enough natural resources to support absolutely every human on the planet (at current population levels)… in perpetuity. (by the way: No, your God Did – Not – Do – It* (unless you can PROVE it with: undeniable, independently verifiable, testable, repeatedly scientifically scrutinized, EVIDENCE ))

But:

We have to do it now,

and we have to do it right (it’s going to take a lot of work to clean up this mess).

If we don’t, we will go extinct.

But if we do,…. We can build a society that provides a UNIVERSAL standard of living:

Housing, Clothing, Nutrition, Education, healthcare, ..All in a modicum of comfort with modern age amenities (Communications, entertainment, socialization, even moderate hobbies),

For EVERY HUMAN ON EARTH

Interested?

Here’s how:

Give up greed…..

Yup.. you don’t get any more than anybody else… It’s that simple, end of story.

We know the source of the feelings. We see the same thing in nature on every corner of this planet, it’s a simple principle, and the driver of Evolution: When resources are limited: “The “strong” will survive”.

We evolved; therefore; It’s built into our DNA.

Yup, that is a fact,

But, guess what? It doesn’t matter.

We must train ourselves, just like children on a playground: It is not OK to fight over who gets the bigger piece of the sweet, no you don’t get to keep it, say I’m sorry and don’t do it again!.

We must ALL grow up, and do our part.

Nobody gets more than anybody else..

In any system of society that allows one individual to benefit more than any other, human greed will eventually lead to an imbalance that will destroy that society..

We have pushed that reality to our own extinction point.

We all deserve to enjoy this life and all it has to offer. We CAN work for the betterment of all, and not personal gain.

Drop the Guns.

Drop the Holy books.

Drop the shinny things.

Quit pouting,

and GROW UP.

We must ALL do it.. or there won’t be a humanity left to fight over all the stupid reasons we’ve managed to come up with; simply to kill each other.

From this moment on, you can no longer claim you didn’t know, or understand, the truth, or the consequences of your choice.

I can already envision it: at some point in the future (the laws of large numbers dictate that intelligence Has/Will occur more than once in this universe) , some other intelligence will study this blue marble, where they will find archaeological evidence of this strange, social, quasi parasitic, semi-intelligent, hominid species, that purposely made itself go extinct.

The sentiment expressed by that being will be universally understood as: “Hmmmm,, How odd… ……”

Or;

We can get to work, clean up this mess, explore the galaxy, and say hello to them in person…

The choice is (collectively) yours.
