Anyone else feel like the reason why humanity doesn’t bother to fix important issues for a long time is because the people simply don’t care enough to group up and fix them. I mean when I try to educate folks on complex problems they often seem like they don’t want to discuss it and quickly defend the status quo saying “that’s just how things are”

But we can’t keep ignoring these issues because then it could delay necessary progress for thousands of years.

    “Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others.”

    There’s little to nothing I can do to fix world hunger, if I can’t feed myself.

        There are also very few people who take everything extremely literally, yet here you are.

          I dont understand what youre saying then. You literally made an analogy for an emergency situation in which you make sure of your own survival first, then tend to others.

            I apologize for my snarky remark, but I’m not playing this game with you.
