<sighs> It was always going to be the difficulty. How to get the right, with their short attention span, to watch all the way through.
The solution Giz, is to face up to the
facts first off. Once you've joined the 'reality based community*' we
can do.
An economy based on exponential growth cannot work forever. The using up of finite resources cannot go on forever. And you cannot expect those who profit most from those systems to provide the solutions that will change things.
The army has been marching fowards for years defeating all before it. But it's hit a chasm. The solutions are pretty easy. It can turn left, turn right, Settle and build a big city and farms or it can build a bridge. But when the problem is relayed back through the ranks to the generals at the rear and they say, 'Forwards is what works, it's the way we've always done it around here, keep moving forwards' the result is disaster.
Quote:*The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, The New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush (later attributed to Karl Rove):
The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
