I suppose things have changed, my morning fixed thoughts have to some degree moved on from my kids to the global puzzle, I spend a lot of time to imagine how to reach people, the majority, how to break through their indifference to causality, show them how they are forever making things worse.
.
Nobody loves me, nobody needs me, so in this time between working and dying I’m trying to save the world, which clearly needs saving.
.
But things get infinitely complicated when you start modifying and controlling your own environment, the environment that also modifies and controls you.
.
There’s a time travel film from this century, I think, called Primal, and the narrative inevitably unravels, especially because you learn that our time traveller is bringing his machine with him into the past and then time travelling from there, etc., complicating matters further - that’s as close an analogy, to the complexity as I can think of to people, “controlling,” their environment while adapting to it.
.
It’s not perfect. I expect the traveller in Primal knew he was changing the timeline - while the human sort engaged in controlling their environment don’t seem to think anyone is adapting. This is a further complication, this apparent blindness to ongoing human adaptation.
.
This is the wall I beat my head against every day, how to convince them evolution is real, present, and inevitable? They already think they know it and believe in it. It’s a version with a twist, they know about evolution, that’s how they became this unchanging, unchangeable thing, the brutality of the past
made us this way forever! Somehow it all gets turned on its head.
.
TBC, probably.
