I've heard it said that humans only change out of necessity and that necessity has to be brought about by crisis. (Ok, Terrence McKenna says psychedelics can do it as well, and faster, but, I digress).
At a company I worked at, it seemed management was incapable of taking any impending deadline or issue seriously, if it was more than 2 weeks out. Now, that worked OK (sorta), if the problem could be resolved within two weeks.
When it couldn't all hell broke loose.
People historically sought spiritual development to ease suffering. Who the hell would go through that crap if their life was perfect and all shits and giggles?
Even the promise of Freedom, whatever the fuck that is, is not enough to get people off their ass. Especially if they have not tasted, or simply can't remember what it felt like.
So, perhaps the current challenges and threats to survival, sanity... provide a need, a necessity, to learn how to clean up our act. Necessity being the motherfucker of invention.
Question is if it's too late. If nature cashes our check, I don't imagine there will be a lot of pissing and moaning over us across the rest of the planet. In fact, it might just breathe a sigh of relief.
I am starting this blog to educate, warn, entertain and help us to wake up to what is going on, organize, and not just survive, but thrive. The current state of how we are and run this planet is not sustainable by any definition.
We need to adapt, help each other...or we'll simply disappear.
What can you do? well, start with these links:
And don't give in to complacency or fatalism.

It is as it is, but not as it seems.
The Doors and the Airplane nailed it 40+ years ago. Now it's our turn (for some of us, lets finish what we started).
Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
Gonna make it, baby
If we try
The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We're takin' over
Come on!
]
Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
Come together one more time
We should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die and
We can be together
All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is greedy
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall motherfucker
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be
We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Come on now gettin higher and higher
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try
