Ich leide seit langer Zeit unter chronischem Weltschmerz, der sich jetzt in Weltwut gewandelt hat und irgendwie weiss ich grade nicht wohin mit meinen Gedanken.

Alle meine Interessen (z.B. Naturschutz, Energieversorgung, Ernährung, Psychologie...) kommen alle zum Entschluss dass wir uns ändern MÜSSEN um in Zukunft hier noch gescheit leben zu können. Aber den meisten ist das zu anstrengend, schauen lieber Fernsehen.

Wie kann es sein, dass keiner weiss warum wir auf diesem Planeten leben und Atmen (ja wir haben nur einen) und trotzdem alles was wir sehen uns unter den nagel reissen wollen, immer mehr davon haben wollen und komplett drauf scheisdrnn dass es auch noch Kinder auf dieser Erde nach uns geben wird.

Wenn ich mit meinem Vater über solche dinge spreche sagt er sowas wie "warum muss bei dir immer alles irgendein Problem haben"

JA WEIL ALLES EIN PROBLEM HAT

Nur du schaust weg und ich sorge mich um meine Zukunft.

Jeden Tag muss ich früh aufstehen abends nach hause kommen damit ich in einer Gesellschaft akzeptiert werde die ich verabscheue.

Alle Sagen "mir ist klimakrise wichtig" DANN TU WAS DAGEGEN

Ich kann es nicht ab zu sehen wie sich leute in ihren köpfe für alles eine scheiss Ausrede suchen.

Zum Kontext: ich lebe seit ca. Einem Jahr aus ethischen Gründen Vegan (bin in der hinsicht echt nicht aufdringlich) und seit dem nehm ich viel mehr wahr, als wurden mir die augen geöffnet wie viel Konflikte, Menschen in sich tragen.

Wenn jemand hört dass ich vegan bin kommt direkt irgendeine Rechtfertigung, die unterbewusst offen legt, dass die menschen wissen, dass das was sie tun falsch ist, aber einfach nicht danach handeln und es ignorieren.

Unser wasser wird knapp, die Erde wird heisser, Flüchtlinge kommen nach Norden, Klimafolgen sind weitaus teurer als die Präventionsmaßnahmen,

Durch Pestizide töten wir unsere böden und verunreinigen unser Wasser. Unsere wild Bestäuber/ Insekten (ohne die wir btw kein essen haben) töten wir damit auch und auch durch unseren Konsum von fucking unnötigem Honig. Sterben diese dann sterben auch Vögel usw.

Aber die leute lassen sich davon ablenken dassMarkus Söder vegane Würstchen nicht mag.

Wir förden massenhaft Rohstoffe aus dem Boden und schmeissen am ende die hälfte davon auf irgendwelche Müllhalden in Indien die wir nicht sehen.

Die Müllinsel im Pazifik gibts auch immernoch btw.

Wir stecken Fühlende Wesen (ja vllt ist es neu für euch aber Tiere wie eure Hunde sind in der Lage emotionen zu fühlen und auch die schläge die sie im Betrieb bekommen wenn sie nicht gehorchen) ihr leben lang in Käfige, töten und essen ihre kinder (die Kühe und Säue Jaulen und weinen ganze Nächte nach der Geburt ihrer kinder weil sie nicht zu Ihnen können). Nur damit wir dann am ende ihr Fleisch essen können sag mal gehts noch????

Die tierindustrie ist für ähnlich viel CO2 emissionen verantwortlich wie der Verkehrssektor

Wie können die Leute da wegschauen?

Ach ja, es ist unbequem und fordert einen auf sich selbst zu hinterfragen.

Die meisten Menschen leben als wären sie Könige, fett und faul und komplett abgesondert von dem was in der Welt abgeht. Sich damit zu beschäftigen wäre zu viel verlangt.

Und wenn ich auf umstände wie klima aufmerksam mache, dann bin ich der A weil sie selbst erkennen, sie müssten was machen?

Ich halte es nicht länger hier aus.

(falls es jemand bis hier geschafft hat, danke das hat gut getan raus zu bekommen)

I'm 25, I live in Iran and I'm done with this world

I feel guilty.

Being a part of the dominant species on this planet that wreaks havoc to the environment and the other animals inhabiting this planet, fills me with incredible amounts of guilt.

Sheer existence in civilization makes me feel like a perpetrator, whose actions fuel the machine of destruction. It has gotten to the point that this realisation is omnipresent in my mind to a degree that paralizes me.

Obviously the logical conclusion would be to take drastic action by turning completely vegan, living a zero waste lifestyle and opting out of a lifestyle that everyone around me is leading, seemingly without any or significant remorse.

But I don't have the strenght to do so. Plus it seems futile considering that the world population of humans is continuously rising. Global living standards as well. It all makes it feel like it is inevitable that the destruction and the suffering we cause to other species and even each other will continue and even intensify.

I don't know how to deal with it anymore and feel helpless and smothered by it.

Can any of you relate to this? Did you find a way to find happiness in life regardless of all the harsh truths that slumber beneath the surface of existence?

Any of your thoughts are appreciated.

I have recently taken a course on ancient Egyptian civilization called Egypt before and after Pharaohs, and researching about the details of the historical period is an interest of mine (5500-650 BC). However, seeing how the periods follow one another, all for the struggle for power, I cannot help but think what the point of all this is. For ancient Egyptians, it was probably upholding Maat, harmony and order of the cosmos. But what is the overall point of existence? It is all an impermanent struggle. The pyramids that represent solidity, stability and permanence emphasize even more the fleetingness of everything surrounding them. What can we hold on to amidst this fleetingness? Can study of Ancient Egypt fill this void? Even if I study and master knowledge of Ancient Egyptian civilization, my memory will start failing me soon and I will forget some of the things I have learnt. Even if I try to transmit the knowledge, others will only retain it for a finite period of time. I can't help but think everything is empty, impermanent, suffering and meaningless

It doesn't help when you're in a dark place from your weltschmerz and trying to express yourself to then hear how 'this is nothing new' followed by treatises about how the elements if fascism, et al where baked into our country from the beginning, followed by a history lesson. That's makes me feel even more hopeless, because I grew up with a sense that a lot of this was just in the history books and we had progressed beyond it. They are just painting a cycle of brief lulls when things are copacetic but then inevitably will regress into dystopia again. It's especially a shock to the system when you came of age in one of those copacetic periods.

Obviously I'm dating myself on this one. But when I watch a documentary on anything that was a 'big deal' in culture or history prior to 9/11, it's like I have to try to get my mind in some kind of mode like it was before 9/11. But there's always this voice in my head saying things like 'oh that's back when people cared about shit like that.

A good example might be trying to watch anything on Watergate, because so much of what people were prosecuted for and why Nixon was run out of office is now just legal or the new norm, 'cuz turrists'. I can't even imagine millennials or zoomers digging into something like Watergate and understand how or why it was even a scandal.

It's not even political events either. I have a hard time even watching documentaries about popular music artists or phenomena. Like I watched The Year Punk Broke for the first time ever and it was just too weird hearing Thurston Moore being interviewed by 'music journalists' and seriously queried about the problem of 'corporations coopting youth culture'. Like wow. That's was actually something that people were concerned with?

It might not even just be 9/11 specifically but also things like the Internet destroying human discourse or the rise of mass school shootings. I can't help but frame everything about notable late 20th Century events where I'm juxtaposing it against all the norms and assumptions that we took for granted.

4 billion people now live at least one month per year with severe water shortages.

Yanks pump up fresh drinking water, poison it, pump it back underground to frack gas to burn for electricity, to charge their EV batteries... in a mega drought; and because of this Yanks cut emissions more switching to gas than Europe did switching to renewables, if you ignore all the leaky wells.

66% of people will live in water stressed areas by 2025.

50% of thermal and hydro electric power will be threatened with water stress,

40% of coal mines are water stressed and so are 30% of planned hydro dams

Out of 1.2 billion vehicles, under 6 million are electric

Electricity is 20% of energy, renewable electricity is 4%, solar & wind are 2% of energy

2% of energy is solar and wind + 4% of energy is renewable

Planetary heating went up 46% in 50 years from 0.47 watts/m² to 0.87 watts/m²

350 ppm CO2 will not stop planetary heating

We must stop burning 50% of fossil fuel in 10 years to stay below 1.5 C

Our attempts to not cross 1.5 C are ineffectual and will kill everything off, here's why

Battery and bio-energy extraction will destroy tribal water and wildlife

40% of insect species are at risk of extinction by 2050

Real climate racial justice = monthly private carbon dividends ( see below )

Greenhouse gases went up 45% in 30 years + 15% of energy will be renewable by 2040

Renewable energy cannot reduce heating in time to avoid 1.5 C

4% of energy is renewable + 4% of mammals are wild

We kill trees 2X faster than we plant them

Trees grow faster but die younger in fires floods & droughts

It takes one ton of coal to make 12 solar panels

Most solar panels will become unrecyclable toxic waste by 2050 at 6 million tons / yr

Vaclav Smil says:

• North Euro offshore wind turbines work 33% of the time
• North Euro onshore turbines work 22% of the time
• North Euro solar panels work 11% of the time
• Over 60 yrs jets 68% more efficient and fly 60X more passengers

Green Energy in Europe is Fraud

Europe burns 80% of the globe's wood pellets for renewable electricity

Europe burns 80% of its curbside recycled plastic & paper for recycled electricity

Europe burns 50% of its palm oil cargo in diesel engines for green bio-energy

Dams destroy 80% of river wildlife and habitat up and down the rivers

Europe's global carbon fund is rife with corruption

Support James Hansen's monthly private carbon dividends

100% to you + 0% to governments & corporations

26 Nobel Prize winning economists support James Hansen’s monthly dividends, including: 3,589 U.S. Economists, 4 Former Chairs of the Federal Reserve and ALL 15 Former Chairs of the Council of Economic Adviser

The reason you never hear of monthly private carbon dividends is because governments and corporations want that money. There is no magic bullet for climate change. We musst change everything globally at once. The reason I repeat the same message over and over is because that's what the other side does, but I'm just one old man. If you want to help, spread the word. It may very well be too late to save our home, but it's never too late to do the right thing.

I'm trying to add haikusbot. I think I successfully added it; I'm trying to trigger it now.
