It’s far worse than “not understanding”…many who understand/understood just don’t/didn’t care and think we can hit the stop (and rewind) button at any time.

The biggest mistake we’ve all made is not understanding how fragile everything is. Food. Democracy. War. Peace. Civilisation. The planet. I’m afraid we’re about to find out. 57.7K views · 5.6K likes · 1.1K reposts · 51 replies Open on X →
