Inhalt:

The author has collective experience with the how, perhaps even the why, of humans being fucked. It includes his growing up on a farm, surviving the Vietnam war, and working to improve conditions of human beings being human. Fucked is not used to offend religious nor rational thinking. It's to add urgency to an approaching end-state for much of life on our planet. Humans simply must change or will be changed. They can begin by adding entropy as a filter to their valuations. Entropy, the supreme law of the cosmos, says actions use thus reduce quality in their environment. Such deteriorates irreversibly. In 1980 Carl Sagan and Hawk made a joint presentation on this subject as climate change, but afterwards conference organizers dropped their presentation from the records. Via the industrial humans have expanded production in the meeting of the bio-needs of life. Humans then moved to expand consumption to meet psycho-wants. The result is called climate change. Since the nineteen seventies Hawk has called this a Faustian Bargain. In 2023 humans, having lost the bargain, see approaching heat-filled days and nights of concern over decreased quantities and qualities of water, food and shelter. Humans mask this via a negative entropy doorway to seek immortality. Negentropy proposals arise from the economic ignorance that glasses can always be half-full. The essence of this is seen daily on billboards and TV advertising for cars, clothes, cellphones, and presidential candidates. Even if impossible such provides untruthful and strategic images about overcoming the entropic reality of death. Negentropy reality is restricted to one and two dimensions. We need to seek business as unusual then rediscover our soul. The soul was buried under the limitations of the artificial. Humans need differences that make a difference, such as between the artificial and the natural. Leonard Cohen described our dilemma in his last album, "You Want it Darker: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make things cheap."
