Tricky part I was referring to is creating a "they" category in your mind and throwing people into it. Some might go along with your assumptions just to push your buttons.

Come let us reason together...

You're in the "they" category, at least halfway in.  You're welcome.

Indeed, that is life.
Which is why I also look on the bright side of death. Life is noisy.

Which is why I live down a dirt road, across a river, in the woods. Current civilization is noisy and abrasive. Nature soothes my soul.

Many empires have risen and fallen based on their harmony with or abuse of nature. The rules have not changed.

I was referring to natural laws of action and consequence. Consumer culture is a delusion of infinite resources and zero consequences.  Capitalism is shitting the bed.  Collapse is inevitable. Which will be on going during increasing resource wars.

Corporations are scared because this is precisely the direction most thinking people are headed now that the older generations are dying out and younger generations are making their mark.

We need a new collective paradigm. And there's nothing so powerful is an idea whose time has come.
We almost need an exodus.

Gawdzilla Sama

If you're afraid of death, just decide that you're not going to die when your body dies.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

Can you imagine the shock of finding out your consciousness can't die?

A hippie once wrote on a window in a cabin in Nederland CO ... so my chemistry professor told me ... "Entropy Sucks".  Well hippies suck too.
