I Am King Of The World!

Sometimes Your Whole Life Boils Down To One Insane Move.

You Can Have A Strong Economy Or You Can Help The Environment, But You Can't Do Both At The Same Time. That's Ridiculous. In Fact, As A Sustainable Vision For A Healthy Economy Has To Involve Changing Our Energy Policy And Changing With Respect To The Natural World. Because We're Hitting Nature's Thresholds, We're Hitting Nature's Limits With Respect To Water And Crop Yields And Energy Use And Fossil Fuels Heating The Atmosphere At The Same Time We're Past Global Peak And Running Out Of That.

We Have Nightmares Because Our Brain Is Running Simulations To Put Us In Jeopardy To See What We'll Do Or To Acclimatize Us To That Idea That Something Bad Could Happen.
