All of what you say is true, most importantly that we as a people (we can blame no one particular person, or institution) have moved our focus so far away from the very symbiosis that has evolved, and sustained us, for longer than we can truly comprehend. The current state of the world economy has reached such a high level of volatility, the possibility of implosion is closer than most people truly realize. I welcome such an event, and feel that it is necessary something drastic, even catastrophic, happens to show the entire world the mistakes that have been continuing for thousands of years. We, as a whole society, have come so far in the direction that we have been moving, that the only possible way to adjust our course, is to have it adjusted for us.
We still have the power to learn from our mistakes, and humanity still has the ability to overcome almost any obstacle. It will only become clear when we have to depend on the people, and environment around us, to help sustain and advance ourselves in the right direction.
This is a message of hope, not of despair. I have the utmost faith in the human spirit, and hope that we can overcome all that we have stacked against ourselves.
