  Except now the level of wealth, influence, and power of a few has reached new levels accelerating the erosion of our planet in a fraction of the time.

    Same as it ever was. Today’s incomprehensible horrors will seem quaint and simple 100 years in the future.

      Sigh, when people think they are being profound but just spout the most trivial shit…

        No, I don’t think I’m being profound by saying something akin to “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” I just don’t think today is all that different from the past.

  Not the same as it ever was by a longshot. It is very much worse than it ever was, because the engagement to profit has been weaponized and dictates how the entirety of our global civilization fundamentally works.

  It is most certainly not the same as it has historically been.
