I’m the 1970 generation, and I fret for the future of my offspring indeed. The ecological and cultural bombs are frightening.
Between the lines, it’s obvious who is to blame really: big government, the military industrial financial complex, and agriculture on a large scale.
What an excellent piece. Not only is it applicable to the Brexit dilemma, but on many issues in the world. The following quote is on the same level, as Harari (Homo Sapiens) and Diamond (Guns, germs and steel).
“I, as the rest of us, have no idea where our current moment in history will lead. However, there are a few things that I feel confident are occurring. The long twentieth century that began in 1914 is at the end of its cycle. Whatever comes next will be something new, a difficult and demanding opportunity for profound creativity and the chance to step out of the long shadow of our past. In all ecosystems, diversity generates resilience. It is the reason and the strength of building consensus. Yet we cannot build consensus if we refuse, alienate and straw man the voices of others and refuse to examine and discuss the contradictory predicaments in which we find ourselves.”
