#Humanity ushered in the end of mammalian dominance.

They do not use the planet's resources to sustainably expand their dominance, but only in the short term and only for their species and to allow their livestock to grow disproportionately.

In doing so, they destroy the necessary diversity and foundations of resilience that are able to cope with natural and self-induced changes.

They destroy both the basic biomass and the diversity on which it was based. All species are being decimated or have already been wiped out.

Instead, they use the resources for consumption, vanity, comfort and even worse for senseless wars.

We are leaving young people a completely destroyed, heated planet that will become a dance on a volcano for them.

Why learn the names of flowers, plants, trees, birds, insects, or other aspects of nature? Just point your #smartphone at whatever you’re looking at, and in a snap it’ll tell you what it is. No nature guide (book or human) could possibly compete.

A Time We Never Knew - by Freya India - After Babel

#society #youth #health

“This feels nostalgic despite me not even existing during this time.”

“The whole concept of a real ‘childhood’ is completely out the window at this point in time and that’s extremely sad to me. Btw I’m 15, born in 2003.”

“I’m 20 years old so I wasn’t even conceived at the time of this video but it leaves me feeling empty. My highschool experience was nothing like this. I remember short bursts of people living in the moment but EVERYTHING revolved around our phones, Snapchat/Instagram status. It almost makes me angry because I’ve never had simple straight forward interaction as shown in this video. Even looking at people in the background, they are completely present and not buried in their phones. Everyone seemed a lot more social. I’m jealous of millennials/gen x, yall experienced a golden time to be young and free.”

A quotation from Jerome, Jerome K.

When a twelfth-century youth fell in love he did not take three paces backward, gaze into her eyes, and tell her she was too beautiful to live. He said he would step outside and see about it. And if, when he got out, he met a man and broke his head — the other man’s head, I mean — then that proved that his — the first fellow’s — girl was a pretty girl. But if the other fellow broke his head — not his own, you know, but the other fellow’s — the other fellow to the second fellow, that is, because of course the other fellow would only be the other fellow to him, not the first fellow who — well, if he broke his head, then his girl — not the other fellow’s, but the fellow who was the — Look here, if A broke B’s head, then A’s girl was a pretty girl; but if B broke A’s head, then A’s girl wasn’t a pretty girl, but B’s girl was. That was their method of conducting art criticism.
