It's quite obvious that the sci-fi and disaster films are truly fiction. As good a mythology as that presented in a religious text.
Humanity uniting in a time of crisis? Oh, how vvveeerrryyy droll...
Terrorist attack? Inside job! Clash of civilizations!
Pandemic? No worse than the flu! Biggest virus in over a century!
Civil unrest? Anarchy! Reckoning!
Climate change? A hoax! An extinction event!
And somewhere in the middle is truth, but we, as a species, are too solipsistic to notice or care...
Fuck all y'all. It's days like this and times like these I remind myself I all but gave up on the species when I was eight.
Nailed it, Robbie. I can't think of a better time to be a permanent ex-pat in some other, saner, country.
ReplyDeleteHey Robbie
ReplyDeleteHope you're well. Any issues from the fires down by Estes Park, or in your area?
Hi!
DeleteOther than smoke and wind, it's okay here thus far. The county has closed public lands in conjunction with the Forest Service as part of a Stage Three Fire Ban. The actual fires are fifty miles north.
Thank you for the concern. Hope you and yours are well. Take care.
