Guardian:
Earth may have breached seven of nine planetary boundaries, health check shows
Industrial civilisation is close to breaching a seventh planetary boundary, and may already have crossed it, according to scientists who have compiled the latest report on the state of the world’s life-support systems.
How did we, proud hunter-gathers,
turn into incontinent internet blatherers,
misusing unique opposable thumbs,
so dumbed down that they've become
game controller accessories
in something like one-twenty centuries?
Our sad decline was not unexpected.
Our primitive innards we’ve too long neglected.
We should consume food uncooked and raw.
To do otherwise violates natural law.
Relearn to enjoy how killing feels!
(Also, avoid treats between meals.)
The path to redemption is, I fear, narrow.
Pick up again your bow, your arrow.
Get off the couch, kill something to eat.
(Ordering Grubhub is so effete.)
Fruits, roots, berries! All there for the taking.
No processed food. (Forsake all baking.)
We must, at once, resume hunter-gathering.
Abandon tech, farming, manufacturing.
Returning, pronto, to ancestors' days,
renouncing, forever, our “civilized" ways.
Time's of the essence. Work up a lather.
Recycle ourselves into hunter-gatherers.
