#DavidAttenborough annoys me, because he's had an extremely privileged life at the expense of his own race & of our planet's biodiversity he has devoted much of his life to documenting.

He doesn't recognise this, of course, but means well, dissolving my annoyance into sadness.


Of course, he has hope for the future, because to recognise the truth would destroy his self-image as a fabulously successful individual.

The truth is that he & the White elite he belongs to have totally fucked up.


What does this have to do with Race (the fact that #DavidAttenborough is White), you ask?

Race is our largest kinship group, contempt for which lies at the heart of our civilisation's self-destructiveness. You can't truly care about anything, if you don't also care about that.

As a biologist, of all people, David Attenborough should recognise this, & how civilisation perverts & corrupts evolved human nature into prioritising personal POWER & advantage over kinship, but like #RichardDawkins & all the others, he fails to do so.


Why this failure, even of evolutionary biologists, to recognise the importance of kinship?

1) The state (#BigBrother) has always demanded that we prioritise loyalty to itself over kin.

2) The bonds of kinship are TRIBAL, which, in overreaction to Nazi tribalism, is demonised.
Britain, the UK, or whatever you call it, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation. And so too is every so-called #NationState, including, & most importantly, the USA.

This is the truth. Either we face up to it, or we perish.


Who do I mean by "we"?

I mean, our civilisation, which, because it is global, effectively embraces everyone on the planet. Many will survive, but many more will not, & many animal & plant species will be driven - are being driven - to extinction.

I'm not the only one who recognises the peril we're in, but I may be the only one who understands it well enough to offer advice on how to avoid our civilisation's self-destruction. My understanding is not perfect, but a lot better than that of people like #ElonMusk & #BillGates.

Reducing carbon emissions, to combat #ClimateChange, as important as it is, only addresses a SYMPTOM of the CANCER that is our grossly materialistic, mercenary, rapacious & DRIVEN global economy, which is inherently unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet.


ALL civilisations rise & fall. Ours is only exceptional in the size of its population, the heights to which it has risen, & the scale of devastation that will accompany its fall, which is fast approaching.
