I've been holding onto a sliver of hope that civilization will change massively and quickly. But with each new disaster, we get absolutely insane responses.

I'll never forget watching coverage of Hurricane Ian a couple of years ago and the mayor of Naples I believe said exuberantly "We're going to build back bigger and better!!!"

We're doomed because of that kind of thinking.
