    At least in the 80s there was potential for improvement

    We don’t talk about the irreconcilable damage inflicted during the earlier industrial era. We don’t talk about what modern fossil fuels and plastics replaced.

    Nothing about this is eternal. We are no closer to oblivion today than we were during Operation Plumbbob or the Black Plague.

    You won’t live to see the end. You won’t live to see the beginning of the end. You won’t even live to see the end of the beginning.

    We’re all living through a single footstep on an endless road.
