Humans have always been good at extinguishing one another whether accidentally or intentionally. The general extent and efficiency of this process has increased over time and the range of objects (other life forms) of this process have increased as well. Now included in this process is the potential extinction of humanity itself, a kind of self-inflicted process of destroying our nest. Our efforts have led to positive feedback loops which are irreversible in ever increasing number. We are destroying our own habitat and the habitat of many non-human life forms at an accelerating pace. The political and financial will in the face of denial is weakening. Aside from slogans, pink-cloud optimism, and passive hope, little is being accomplished in reality to "do" anything about the unrelenting destructive processes humans have set in motion. What is in progress, undergirded and nourished by the greed dynamics of money, can at this point be "changed" only by an enantiadormia of major degree. There is increasing potential for financial, political and cultural collapse. Only something on this level would have the capacity to curb and transform the hubris of the present conditions.
