    It’s like when you try to shake people in a dream to get them to realize it’s a dream, but they’re not real so they just stare at you.

      Honestly I fully understand that it’s difficult for people to become invested in solving problems that will affect future generations. Most people are focused on issues that immediately affect them or their children, and are more than eager to push anything else onto the next batch of humans to fix.

      I’m hopeful that we as a society can break away from this kind of short-term thinking, but realistically think a revolution may be unavoidable.
