"The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left. At the age of 25 most people were finished. A whole god-damned nation of assholes driving automobiles, eating, having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the presidential candidates who reminded them most of themselves. I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn't understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go."
— Charles Bukowski

So /sci/, do you think we (not just as Americans for you Amerifags out there) but as people are screwed, doomed, done for, forever fortold to die a horrible, violent death. Leaving a diseased and dying planet behind in our tracks, or do you think we will overcome our inherent evils, and eventually better ourselves to the point where we do really reach an equilibrium with the planet and get a good balance going?

Explain, im curious /sci/
