It turns out that so called civilisation is way older than we've been sold. A lot of the things claimed as modern inventions have existed before.Recent leaps in technology are helping archeologists reshape our history and frankly we've been told a whole different fairytale. Our planet is no stranger to the rise and fall of mass populations far greater than this, if not in numbers in mind, but mustn't panic the people, so history is tidied up to keep it's secrets and we learn the abridged version,thanks to the education system, another thing designed to keep us all chained to the desk.
The climate is pretty much fucked.This has also happened before, didn't end too well for all living things but then again,we made it back to be here today & this time we have power of advanced technology on our side. Is it too late to fix it before a lot more people suffer? Let's hope so.
Natural disasters far greater than anything experienced in recent history have come out of nowhere and wiped out swathes of the planet, back through our entire history and one could very well do the same in the next ten minutes and there is mainly fuck all you can do about it if you happen to live too close to a Volcano say, (Millions do) ditto sea rise, ditto earthquakes,ditto forest fires, ditto rogue asteroids. Why anyone takes a 50 year mortgage...
The 6th extinction is a real thing that's happening now. Species decline is running at a terrifying rate...Two thirds of animals gone by 2020...that's two thirds in two years folks, why isn't this horrifying news on the front page of every news paper so people can realise what we're doing to our ecosystem?
Why is because the media is owned and shaped by powers with knowledge of how to control people, filtered down through progressive civilisations these tricks of the trade are now owned by the few to exploit the many.
First there was the Sun, our initial ruling benefactor, giving us heat, light & ruling seasons.Partnered by the moon, controlling growth & water. These forces were life's rulers, powerful but unruly and unpredictable. By studying the sun,moon and stars human beings worked out how to thrive. When we were wild things,having this knowledge gave you the power to survive. This power was so admirable, it was inevitably taken and shaped by those who sought to utilise it for their gain. By claiming to represent the heavenly entities Sun gods arrived on earth as kings and rulers, controlling their slaves by the might of their wealth. (See Media moguls and presidents.)

each generation seemingly more greedy with it than the last.

Like a magician's misdirection, we are only ever being shown the things designed to misle us into believing we have & need so much more than we do.
While those in power mine our lives for luxury yachts they barely use,we let the glare of technology,commerce, wealth and new, distract us from the truth and destroy our connection to the very earth that gave us this life in the first place.

Herd mentality cultivated by feeding us herd animal meat and dairy products? They say you are what you eat.
Keep staring at the screen, let programming take over your mind so you don't notice your puppet strings and even if you can see them dangling all around you and they're twisted up in knots of frustration, can we ever break free?
I suspect Mother Nature will do it for us and it won't be pretty.Might not be in my lifetime, might be after lunch and as a rumbling starts high in the sky, we'll probably go outside
and stare at the Sun.
