I’m not sure if I’m supposed to panic more because we’re tilting the earth, or panic less because we’re melting less ice than we thought. Or panic the same because the jury is still out in this research.
Otherwise I’d have said “am I a misanthrope”. No I don’t hate mankind at all and what I mentioned isn’t hating either.
I hope I was able to explain that I did believe that word wouldn’t fit in for what I wanted to say. Maybe some other word? sch………ude isn’t that word either I guess.
It sounds like what you’re getting at is a general sense of disenchantment with humans. Blessed are we that we have the capacity to look forward to our own demise, yet blanket our children with the picric acid of our lack of interest for solving it.
As someone with kids, I have a vested interest in solving humanities existential problems, but also lack the ability to actually do it. It’s bothersome.
