Status Quo, Part 1: Human Industry

I think the handful of us in the truther/seeker audience — as well as those greater in number who are becoming aware of the machinations of concern in the world — would agree the eminent need for a paradigm shift away from aggressive, parasitic, wasteful, and ceaseless industrialism is important, perhaps even essential to our survival as a species, but that it also isn’t ever likely to happen on any mass scale.

As we get older, we are often reminded of our mortality, our fragility, and the inevitable end of this journey.

As relationships, friends, family members, and memories fade and fall away, we quietly posit and define chapter headings to our story.

How much time do we have left?
