> We survived industrial revolution

Did we? I mean, I guess we're surviving it for now, but climate change data doesn't tell the most optimistic story.

Isn't the jury still out on that statement? Pretty sure we've been experiencing the long-tail cultural decomposition caused by the effects the industrial revolution brought with it with the exception of a 20 year opportunity to change our trajectory as a species. I think getting out of this conundrum alive will require de-segmenting our cultural narrative around how we got here.

edit: typos/grammar abound.

This isn't an industrial revolution moment; it's a printing press moment.

"We" is doing an awful lot of work. We may have survived the industrial revolution, but subjective individual experience varies widely.

Life would be quite different if we could subjectively experience ourselves as a whole.

The industrial revolution was so good for those living through it, that they invented communism and recognisably modern policing.

And we got a few wars whose death toll exceeded the pre-industrial population of the UK. And one whose toll exceeds the current population of the UK.

Survivorship bias.

You always survive unless you don’t.
