“Every problem in society is caused by or correlated to the inefficient utilization of capital. How do we solve the problems in supply chains? More efficient utilization of capital. How to we solve climate change problems? More efficient utilization of capital. How do we end poverty? The more efficient utilization of capital. How do we improve our education system? The more efficient utilization of capital. How do we transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources? The efficient utilization of capital. Simply by striving to efficiently utilize all capital everywhere, we will by default solve a multitude of problems.”

“During a chance meeting, the naturalist E.O. Wilson advised me to give up thinking we are doomed. "It's our chance to practice altruism," he said. I looked doubtful, but he continued. "We have to wear suits of armor like World War II soldiers and just keep going. We have to get used to the changes in the landscape and step over the dead bodies. We have to discipline our behavior and not get stuck in tribal and religious restrictions. We have to work altruistically and cooperatively and make a new world.”

“native nostalgia, a prelude to the now

when will we ever feel safe in the Mother City’s nest? Neng? Nini?
i long for a time when harmony between humans and nature was not a utopian
dream scattered by the patter of raindrops that threaten rooftops.
the rain that is no longer euphony or lullaby to hush you to slumber.
a storm is fast approaching, stay on higher ground, dig up trenches and unclog the drains
wailing voices choking within the Mother City echo code red, declare this a national emergency
belligerent tempest(s) warn of a time to come, a treaty between the mortals and the natural environment is needed!
displaced, confused, we’ve become strangers to the Mother City

“In Conversation With The Earth!

Hello I am Earth , your home,
Hello I am human from Climate summit at Rome,
Pleasure meeting you today,
Well I thought you met and saw me everyday,
Nevermind, human mind is a curious creation,
Look at the devastation and your numb sensation,
Water levels rising,
Frequent wildfires are least surprising,
Landslides burying people alive,
For the poor Earth is no longer a place to thrive,
CO2 emissions creating a blanket of doom,
The world looks like a planet draped in agony and gloom,
Deforestation has left me naked,
By your callousness I feel raped, you humans are so ungrateful and wicked,
The rising heat will kill us both,
I will manage drifting in the universe but imagine your plight in the cosmic broth?
You are the cause of your own extinction,
And you seek mercy from me for this inevitable destruction,
I am part of the universe the universe is not a part of me,
And if there is a cause, an effect too there shall be!
But I am wondering why you are still procrastinating,
You are more interested in Mars’s Terraforming,
Instead of saving your present home,
Where there is Italy, Germany, India, America, Russia, China, many others and Rome,
You seem to ignore my pleadings and warning signs,
And somehow your conscience resigns,
Into a slumber of thoughtlessness,
And you seem willing to endure this perpetual feeling of restlessness,
But refrain from acting now,
Sometimes you just need to start, without wasting too much time on thinking how,
This maybe my last conversation with you , my dear human being,
It is time you believed in what you are seeing,
A ravaged soul of mine,
I fret and fume, yet you convince yourself I am fine,
Because you can still breathe in my air,
But how long, because you are offering me a bargain that is unfair,
Very soon you may need protected air zones to survive,
And then only those with a penny in the pocket shall be alive,
Where will your less fortunate brothers and sisters go?
I think after the great fall, today humanity has fallen really too low,
Not placing restraint on their acts so ignoble,
Although you see my scars so fresh and palpable,
Anyway, why shall you care as long as you can breathe,
And not realise the irony, the day you feel choked I too shall no more be able to breathe!
Mars is a distant dream,
Pay heed now when I yell and scream,
Mars is just a reflection in the mirror,
But I am the mirror, you just need to be a heedful observer,
And act now before it is too late,
And stop wasting time in a bureaucratically complex debate,
Maybe this will be the last summer for you and me too,
But I am still believing and expecting the best from you!

“It is!

“It is evolution,” the garden cried,
“It is revolution,” the nature sighed,

“It is diabolically dark,” the night feared,
“It is unbearably hot,” the Sun cried, but no one cared,

“It is a leafless and lifeless spring,” the seasons implored,
“It is polluting me,” the river sobbed, but it was ignored,

“It is no longer blue, my hue,” the sky admitted,
“It is I who supports you and it is me who is being resented,”

“It is no longer cold,” screamed the north pole,
“It is from me that you all my bounties stole,”

“It is no more like the sea it used to be,
It is no more the water where we felt at home,” said the fish swimming in the dying sea,

“It is not what it had to be,
It is not where humanity had to be,

It is so unfortunately, and this is how it is now,
It is the new reality: the dying sea, the dark sky, the burning sun, and in it all of us now,

It is the question for all of us though, where shall we go without them?
It is not about either us or either them,

It is more about what is right and what is true,
And it is a fact, the sky is dark and diabolically blue!”

Said I, to whoever was listening,
Alas, they were busy pleasing the moments of life, filled with callous hastening!”

“There are big things to worry about and the issues like climate change, hunger, poverty, violence, biodiversity loss, unemployment, racism, and war are not going to be solved easily. But despite their grim predictions, I am hopeful. I am already seeing the light. A rustle of wind in the grass makes me dream.”

“Jason turned on public radio and heard an interview with the Swedish author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline. He was talking quietly about the need for climate activists to consider going beyond pacifism and even considering targeted violence.

“No!” Jason yelled at his radio. “Don’t blow up a pipeline! Stay on the moral high ground!” It was baffling how people responded so differently to the climate crisis.

Some people wanted to blow up pipelines to stop the carbon economy at all costs. Others reacted with defensive disdain to any suggestion on how they could do their small part. They hoarded old lightbulbs and worried about people coming for their burgers and the gas grills they cooked them on. The world of their childhood was the last word. But nostalgia was not a strategy any more than violence.

What the planet needed was a plan.”
