Description

The 21st century dawned with humanity moonwalking toward disaster. You know, we act like we are going forward, but really we are moving backwards.

We stood, backs to the ocean, oblivious to the colossal tidal wave gathering on the horizon.  This wasn't a literal tsunami, but something far more insidious: a confluence of environmental, economic, geopolitical, social, technical, and technological forces, all feeding off each other, growing stronger, gaining momentum, morphing into something beyond our limited understanding. A tsunami of our own collective bullshit, fueled by arrogance and greed.

Like a toddler playing near a cliff edge, we were blissfully unaware of the precipice. And then, it crashed. The wave broke, washing over society as we knew it, leaving behind a wreckage of shattered systems and broken paradigms. It was brutal. It was the single most brutal moment of human history.
