We don’t need prehistoric lifestyles, but we need to rapidly jettison the deadly and destructive aspects of civilization.

One such aspect is production of useless crap as a planet-destroyed scale. We need to end this wasteful production for two reasons:

1. It uses fossil fuel energy for nominal or useless “purposes”, and
2. The best days and years of most human lives are wasted on this ridiculous activity.

Our civilization has been trained to value stuff instead of life. Our time should never be wasted on production of useless crap. Our production time should be focused on creating truly useful and necessary things: food, shelter, medicine.

By ditching that huge volume of stupid work, human would finally have the leisure they were long promised (one of the great lies of our civilization) and they could enjoy that time. They could enjoy the company of people and pets. They could re-connect with Nature. They could engage in creative snd artistic pursuits of self-expression.

Instead of wasting nearly their entire lives working (mostly to further enrich the undeserving rich), they could LIVE.

What we are doing now is insane. Even the dinosaurs with their walnut-sized brains weren’t this stupid. They didn’t send an asteroid to lull themselves.

But our fossil based plutocratic petro-civilization IS intentional self-destruction. We know better but make elaborate excuses x

The current path is insane and sane people should speak out and stop cooperating. Some of us have begun.
