Saving The Planet Is Just Another Smoke And Mirrors Game (And That’s A Fact)

Nature doesn’t need us to help it survive. We are inconsequential to it in the grand scheme of things. Life on earth will regenerate shortly after we are gone, and will keep regenerating for a long time to come …

Good morning! This is your Random Truth bulletin with your random fact.

Today’s headlines: Saving the planet is just another bullshit movement concocted by holier than thou individuals who have it all wrong. A smartypants way of being conceited and self- important.

Yes, you heard right. Nature doesn’t need us to help it survive. We are inconsequential to it in the grand scheme of things. Life on earth will regenerate shortly after we are gone, and will keep regenerating for a long time to come.

In fact the planet doesn’t need us at all. It is we who need IT. We rely on it for life as we know it to continue. It accommodates us. It provides us with wonders, with a full flurry of life, in which we could thrive. If we were smart enough.

But we’re not. We’re simply growing at the expense of everything else. Our presence is detrimental to life on earth as we know it, and thus, by consequence, to our very selves. Overdo it and it will wither away (for a while) taking us out of the game (for good).

Smart creatures would have realized this a long time ago and done something about it. Like stop developing in such an unfettered, destructive way. Or make a beachhead on another world, on which to carry out the more unmanageable parts of our development, like heavy industry, leaving this unique garden in space to do what it does best: grow food and life.

Food and life, ladies and gentlemen. Something no other place in the known universe is capable of producing.

And we are pissing, shitting, and vomiting in it at will. Dumping industrial waste and throwing garbage wherever the eye can’t see, polluting the oceans, the water reserves, the soil and atmosphere, which generate this one of a kind miracle.

Are smart or are we smart!

Remember my fellow sapiens, To move forward one must first realize what is holding him back. Anything else is like rearranging chairs on the Titanic.

From the Random Truth headquarters,

roll those dice like you mean it!
