The changes that were set into motion before I was born continue to thrive and will eventually be the very bane of our collective existence. Now, I see the consensus has changed and more people accept that we shape our very world, more people willing to speak out on self-destructive practices. Not that it's a enough to stop this future we are determined to make. The sheer number of people will ultimately be too big for us to sustain. The methods of energy production don't match the rate of consumption. The world is being terra-formed to be less hospitable by us. This crisis has grown exponentially, and continues to grow. Only now do the masses have a select few that are willing to talk about this foolishness. ... I use to talk about this when I was 7. I talked about it in a classroom full of kids. I talked about it for years, throughout my entire life. I was called a cringe-worthy, idiotic, conspiracy theorist. I was called worst all the time for my views and my person. I thought, "when I'm an adult it'll be easier to find like minds". I have literally few friends, and all of them are still skeptical of research or scientific opinion. Growing up I was considered "smart, but dumb" because I understood the validity and importance of statements from experts in various fields, but didn't know the latest dance or meme. ... It's too late, I think. It's too late to save any of this. You all said I was and idiot, you WILL say I'm idiot. It's too late and you'll think you're right up until you choke on your words. I'm just a gross idiot, right? What could I know? What could I offer you? Any number of sources of information available for making a rational decision? You refuse. ... I've always grown up among strong "conservative" and strict religious persons. I've moved all over the country expecting to find somebody who wasn't. I should've known the endeavor would end in bitter defeat. Every state is the same. The closest I could get to a like-minded person is a man who believes my chakra will heal with gemstones, my astrology symbol and personality match, and that smoking is bad for the Earth (rather than the means by which we cultivate tobacco and tobacco products). ... Sometimes I check in on the frontpage of reddit and see that the numbers of supporters for self-sufficient means of energy, increased over time. But it is just too late. There are just too many of us. We will not win without losing first. I'm terrified. If the people don't like me now that I'm "harmless", what will they do when I have a decent food and living while they're in a perpetual squalor. ... Short answer: They'd wring my neck until the life leaves my eyes. Because, they're right. They're always right.
