Because I ‘m a horrible person…………………………………………And so are you
Humans as a whole are a pathetic lot. The vast majority have been given capacity that far out strips their intelligence or awareness. The common sentiment is that we continue to stumble.

This is another example of one of those linear assumptions. We assume that we will continue to progress as we always have, that there is no asymptote. This case is highly unlikely. We have the underprivileged who consume very little but through sheer quantity are a drain upon the environment and on the other hand we have the vastly over privileged who consume at such a rate to strip it bare.

We know we should do many things. Eat right, exercise, conserve energy, pollute less, give to charity etc.
Why do we not do these things?
