the meaning of the great/screwed 21st century
Well, if you read a book about how screwed our planet is, how our seas are dead and getting deader, how poor nations get more desperate and how our environment is plundered without leaving anything for future generations, …
Well, and if you read this book, while you are in Pulau Kapas, Malaysia.
than you might think this is depressing. But well, yes, this planet is screwed, but while we were doing ugly things to our planet we gained the ability to solve every problem, if we want to.
For a book that describes how messed up our current globale state is - it’s an unbelieveable optimistic book. You should read it.
And:
we are alone. there is nothing else
and thats a good thing.
