Modern Times

There is no shortage of food on this earth, despite the manifold people living here, as We Feed The World has shown, what is lacking are means of distribution – If only!

What is lacking is the will to distribute.

Same with CO², or emission, or pollution of nature, or overconsumption.

The means to stop each and everyone of them within the time of a year are there.

The will to do so is not.

If a single one thinks that by him/her stopping to run a bulb at night, a change is made, it is an illusion an it stays one even if his/her whole neighbourhood takes a liking to the idea.

Even if the whole region is engulfed by the idea, it will not change.

That factory over there will work at night nonetheless.

By doing so, and be it only 5 days a week, it will consume more energy than an entire region of middle-sized housholds.

Now, the thing which is treated by politicians all over the earth like it was an endangered spezies has a name: Consum.

„We have to raise consum to avoid crisis“

It feels like a sentence from a surrealist movie when written.

You can hear people on a monthly paycheck of 5 digits blabbering those lines on television.

On the other hand, as Venice has shown during the impact of the first wave of what was dubbed „Coronavirus“, when tourism had been restricted (tourism beeing a form of consum) and the waterways, formerly dirty as heck and deemed as beyond redemption, miraculously cleaned themselves.

This little „wonder of nature“ (it is not, it is standart for nature to take care of itself when left alone) has been safely pulled under the rug.

Instead of focusing on the reality of a self-revitalising nature and the minimal action needed to enable her to show what she can do (three weeks or months without tourism for clean waterways throughout the year if done periodically is a bargain!), western media preferred to focus on the endless hypothetically possible worst-case results which would occur if people would not get vaccinated – with something which until now, at least in europe, has not yet reached the status of a vaccine. It is a „temporarily approved medical injection in supervision“. Update me when that changes, please, but the cookie has already been eaten.

The states, who hold stuff like „climate-conferences“ have shown that whatever they did talk about and agreed on doing, we either do not know or they did not do it, for it has nothing to do with transitioning into an era of living in harmony with nature.

It is focused on developing ways of countering climate-change by means of consum and profit, the two which brought the whole thing about.

In short, if a nation as a whole could do something about the climate by consuming less and aspiring towards a more frugal lifestyle, it should not do so, for that would hurt consum and profit.

Which shows that the later two are more cared for than the environment which allows for plentitude in the first place.

But there is no need to worry.

People won't complain as much as it would be needed, for there is a limited amount of resources at their disposal, as 10% of humanity effectively own 90% of the worlds buying power, or rather, „supplies to be alotted“. Which includes guns and rounds to fire them.

The funny thing is, you can shoot a peacelover and it evolves into a war.

You can shoot a warlord, and you will only get more war, for now the space is open, and Ghandi lived but once.

In the end, the bullet seals the deal.

Until people are fed up enough an miracles occur.

They are no miracles.

They are bloodbaths, later painted over with the brush of history, to the tastes of the respective lord of the respective region, like TianAnMeng.

No matter. The perspective here needs a change. Let's do it like the Big Guys do and look at it through numbers. States prosper from that stuff. There is a tax on dealing weapons. Weapons are expensive, yet ridiculously easy to get. Even on credit.

Even in Europe.

Like cocaine.

Ask around in your circle of friends. Do it discretly, and you will be amazed.

 

Of course, for the billions, you'd need an extra investor. Ho! Wrong word, sorry. "Player", it is. Someone from Russia, for example. Or Ukraine. Or America. Or Switzerland.

Humans are a spezies which succumbs to wickedness way to fast - to sacrifice one's own people is a basic move in a very popular game known throughout the world. Chess.

The good news is: It is indeed no matter. At least to us readers here, it seems.

Maybe it depends on the region, that I can not say, but as it stands here, people are neither concerned for the climate, nor the Ukraine.

Improvement of their private life ranks top. More love. More income. More free time.

Susie doesn't care one bit for climate or the Ukraine.

It is there, okay, she has to somehow or other note it/avoid it, but that's not what she is interested in. She's interested in Mara and Peter, and what they got going, for she doesn't really care for Mara, although dubbed a friend, but for Peter, besides dubbed as friend he also has the 'candidate'-sign attached to him in her eyes.

And Peter was concerned for the Ukraine, he had relatives there. They fled, safely to germany, no looking back. Now Peter, instead of looking at a stupid war pulled off by stupid people, rather wants to look at his own future, not in a sense of „What does destiny have in store for me?“ but in a sense of „How can I get the money I need to sustain the lifestle I want?“

He has some good things to say about climate change and all, but crypto was the way to go.

Despite the fact that a f***ton of resources have to be wasted to generate a purely virtual token, which can then be exchanged for products.

You can even count the destruction rate of our planet in Mitoshi, if you want so.

But that was not his query.

He wanted to know whether it would be financially beneficial for him to invest in crypto.

Funny, isn't it?

Don't worry if you do not get it yet, me neither.

My thought was that I better go train my sense of humour to find stuff like the above funny to keep smiling bright throughout the future.

You are absolutely free to do so yourself.

Let me know if anyone has found a somewhat more sane course of action.
