As a kid, I had a remote idea what Sting's 1987 song "History Will Teach Us Nothing" was about.
Yet, I couldn't have imagined that 37 years later, our civilization would be simultaneously drowning in information, utterly lacking collective wisdom, and would be racing toward extinction.

Very few humans can comprehend how predatory and invasive our civilisation is, given that all of our internal messaging, our version of our history on this planet, has been carefully crafted to make us appear not only innocent, but in fact, god-like

So they can force veterans into private for-profit hospitals like HCA
And private for-profit insurance like United Health

"Trump has demanded an expansion in tree cutting across 280 million acres of national forests."
It was incredibly naive on my part, I know, but for a long time I had the idea that soon, we'd *have to* come to our senses as a species.

Merely a coincidence... David Bowie's passing nine years ago seemingly marked a watershed moment; a seismic shift.
May he Rest in Peace, and to better days ahead.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
