等解決了足夠的問題 你就能回家了

當一切都越來越糟時 你只能堅強的面對
這就是我如何解決這個問題的

你要嘛屈服, 要嘛反抗, 就是這樣
你只要開始, 進行計算
解決一個問題
解決下一個問題
解決下下個問題

等解決了足夠的問題 你就能回家了

So, yes, we saw the iceberg, we warned the Titanic.But you all just steered for it anyway. Because you want to sink

Imagine, if you glimpsed the future
and you're frightened by what you saw,
what would you do with that information?

You would go to..
Who? Politicians? Captains of industry?
And how would you convince them?
With data? Facts?

The only facts they won't challenge are the ones that keep the wheels greased and the dollars rolling in.

----
The probability of widespread annihilation kept going up.
The only way to stop it was to show it.
To scare people straight.

Because what reasonable human being wouldn't be galvanized by the potential destruction of everything they have ever known or loved?

----
But how do you think this vision was received?

How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom?

They gobbled it up like a chocolate eclair.

They didn't fear their demise, they repackaged it. It can be enjoyed as video games, as TV shows, books, movies.

The entire world wholeheartedly embraced the apocalypse.

Meanwhile, your Earth was crumbling all around you.
You've got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation. Explain that one.

Bees and bufferflies start to disappear.
The glaciers melt.
Algae blooms all around you.
The coal mine canaries are dropping dead,

...and you won't take the hint!

In every moment, there is the possibility of a better future. But you people won't believe it.

And because you won't believe it,
you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality.
So you dwell on this terrible future, and you resign yourselves to it. For one reason,

because that future doesn't ask anything of you today.

So, yes, we saw the iceberg, we warned the Titanic.
But you all just steered for it anyway, full steam ahead.
Why?

Because you want to sink.
You gave up.

There are two wolves, and they're always fighting. One is darkness and despair, the other light and hope. Which one wins

There are two wolves, and they're always fighting.
One is darkness and despair, the other light and hope.
Which one wins?

The one you feed.
