Saving the world one report at a time

Report by report we think our way into the biggest hole we could possibly concieve, afraid to act as we are lullued by the comfortable waves of our own contentment, our own fear of doing anything fundamentally different. Our collective behaviour seems to so reflect the processes of our own egos, of our inner worlds. Inside our lives we build carefully, or not so carefully, a construct we call ourselves, and we then expend incredible amounts of energy protecting that self conception, ensuring that it stays in place, that it is justified, that it is validated. And we even tell ourselves, convince ourselves that we have no choice, that this is the only way it is, that this is how it has to be, that this is not what i want but just how i am. We disempower ourselves, and don't acknowledge the fundamental truth of how incredible, how powerful we are that we can shape reality, change our very perceptions of events, deny nature, stop our own evolution to maintain our own internal identity and the fictions we hold onto. Is this any different to what we do in the world? We have all the information at hand to transform our culture, society, economy and politics to tackle the challenges we face, yet we tread carefully, walking like a sleep walker while a tsunami rears on the horizon. And politicians and large corporations sit on our collective shoulders like demons telling us we can't change, that the econo0my will collapse, that we have to make change gradually, concerned only for their own existence and wealth not for our collective wellbeing. We research every step we take to death, like walking crouched down with a magnifying glass in hand inspecting every step we take. You could die on your way to the supermarket with an approach like that. Are our feet so delicate that the way must be paved with mountains of paper? Lit with a million pdfs?

Will the human race be remembered for the sheer number of reports that charted a different course, that told of a different story, but were ignored?

RIP Human Race: Wow, really nice reports
