The next 25-50 years...

May be the most important years in the life of Humanity on this planet. Runaway climate change is nearing the tipping point, and so is runaway economic turmoil where many countries are going broke or bankrupt, and so are runaway wars and terrorist attacks where millions of people are dying or becoming homeless refugees, and so is runaway income disparity where the Rich are getting Richer and the less so are rapidly becoming the much less so, and so is the runaway extinction of species where in just the next seventy-five to one hundred years we could lose 50% of all species on earth.

The time is now for the most intelligent among us - wherever they are - to dedicate their lives to solutions, rather than what the rest of the world is doing - who are quite content looking the other way, or into the holes in which they have inserted their own dimly lit heads. And by the most intelligent among us, is meant the Millennials, whose world will be that which is being pointed to herein - 25-50+ years into the future. THAT is the world they will be forced to contend with if they don't Stand Up and Be Counted, because it is as obvious as the nose on your faces, people, the ones who MADE THIS WORLD as it is today, are already in their retirement years... and really don't care about the world that far into the future, because... you know... they will be dead by then.

And what does all of this have to do with the events of just the last 30 days? "Well, harrumph! EV-RY-THING!!" What is going on in the world, today and for most of the last two thousand years of course, but especially today, are HUMAN BRAINS interacting with other human brains, in ways virtually none of them have the faintest idea about (and this is a Big Idea, whether or not you care to admit it). HUMAN BRAINS have CAUSED - by their lack of knowledge, foresight, intelligence, alertness, attentiveness, and many other features of ordinary human brains - absolutely all the problems on Earth that now confront all humans and non-humans alive today... except perhaps for some cockroaches and a few other hearty insects that can survive nuclear holocausts and worse.
"What to do, what to do?"

Well, how's "looking the other way, or 
staring into holes" working out for ya?

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking
we used when we created them." Albert E.
