It's not Rocket Science

I love that phrase "It's not Rocket Science" as if anybody who isn't a Rocket Scientist would know what Rocket Science is.

I have lived on this God forsaken earth for 55 years and have watched the news for about 48 of those years and I think by now I am able to call out the elephant in the room. He's hiding behind the sofa. I'm not calling for the complete overthrow of Capitalism but a gentle re-evaluation of our value system. I have spent a grand total of 4 weeks of those 55 years in a Mental Hospital and I have spent 4 months in a prison because of my mental health. My mind has told me on more than one occasion that the way I am living my life is bad for me. I am part of a whole. I like you are affected by what goes on around us. Some of us are more sensitive than others or are we? Have many people become de-sensitised to the distress around us by wearing nuclear family blinkers, turning to addictive behaviour or religion. If over the centuries we have been the problem then perhaps, just perhaps we can be the answer as well but it's not a case now of 'wake up and smell the coffee' we have to down the fucker in bucket loads, full caffeine fix. Humanity stands on a precipice. Experts say that by 2050, that along with 1 million Welsh speakers we will be entering the next ice age. So the new 'Siaradwyr Cymraeg' will be freezing their tits off unless they get with the programme as well. Cosmic Rays & Climate Change are changing the environment of our ecosystem irreparably. Every time a coral reef dies our own resources are diminished. 

Desalination plants in China are transforming sea water to provide drinking water but at what cost? The very air that we breath relies on the top two inches of the sea. Why do you think Trump, Tesla and Branson are upping the stakes in the space race? Why are they building the largest telescope known to man in South America? because they know that we are fucked and that planet life able to sustain human life will only be possible in the outer reaches of our solar system and beyond. It's either going to be 'to boldly go where no man has gone before' or to go down a la Jules Verne, 20,000 leagues under the sea.  

In prison a Polish prisoner, Machek, could see that I was suffering the torment of the damned and he said "You will have to change" as in I will have to change my mindset to survive and I knew that to be true but I can't change unless you change as well. We are going to have to find a way to redistribute global wealth. If you want to call it Communism or Socialism go right ahead. Whatever it is, it has to happen to afford us any chance of survival as a species. If everyone has enough for their need and not their greed then we might just stand a chance.
