In 1972 I was given a BA(Math). I didn’t earn it for I was occupied by analyzing life. Math was useful when I found life is as simple as 1+1; and in carpentry.
It was my ambition to summarize all religious/philosophical writing. The summary is:
”Why am I?”, is the question of meaning that gave birth to humanity. There is no answer so it will be the last why. Tries to answer it are causing the death of humanity.
I put it in the banner of my website. I wrote some rhymed reason to elaborate. An excerpt:
By Nature’s God LIFE was inspired.
To self-create lives were required
With natural activities
To reach out to capacities,
To others, and to Nature’s God,
A life that we should all applaud.
Most lives had a creative past
Exclusively; ours didn’t last.
When given birth by “Why am I?”,
Our ‘parents’ feared not knowing why.
Unknowns they’d learned they should avoid
And so they tried to fill the void,
Unnatural activity
Diminishing what we could be.
By trying they broke Nature’s rule,
Who searched for “Why?” would be a fool.
Descendants tried to stem their fears
In diverse ways, throughout the years.
In doing so humanity
Defined the word “insanity”.
Results of tries remain unchanged
Despite how they are rearranged.
In vain attempts to fill the void
More of the past we have destroyed.
Destroying more life has to be
The Age of Asininity.
Destroying more life we could stop
Just by returning to the top.
It seems though we’ll repeat each verse
But every time we’ll make things worse
Until the worst concludes life’s rhyme
Because we’ve just run out of time.👇more

More solar. More wind. More batteries.
And also more fossil fuels, more atmospheric CO₂, and less biodiversity.
That isn’t an energy transition. It is an energy expansion.
'Civilization' is organized around our tries to fill the void. With capital is one of the ways we try. If we discard all the ways we try, we might save humanity.

If we review our history back to the birth of humanity we will eventually be unable to find any aspect of present day religions. It is the measure of our asininity that we have since spent billions and perhaps trillions of dollars, cost millions of lives, and destroyed much of Nature protecting make-believe.
an excerpt of rhymed reason:
Religion is a human 'wrong'
With which we try to fill the void.
Humanity will not survive
Unless religions we avoid.
While hanging on to our beliefs
To others we cannot "...reach out...",
Depriving us of nourishment
For life, we cannot do without.
Religions aren't the source of 'rights',
The traits that we consider good,
And motivation making us
"Do unto others..." as we should.
Good traits and motivation are
What let humanity survive
Until the point in history
Religions started to arrive.
Since then religions have decreased
The 'rights' that made humanity.
Discarding all of them will help
Restart the way we used to be,
United individuals
In common cause we all applaud,
Becoming what we each can be,
In part the face of Nature's God.👇more

Neither our prime minister Mark Carney nor the leader of the opposition Pierre Poilievre understand to the degree they grow the economy, which is their primary function, they suck the life our of our environment. They keep 'leading' the country as if there will always be a tomorrow.
an excerpt of rhymed reason:
Our vertical Economy
We worship as if it's a god.
However, it is powerless,
A pipe which we should not applaud.
The power that it seems to have
Is what we give Economy,
We then enable to decide
The life we have, what we can be.
The power we all give to it
Is generated as we try
To fill the void that's in our mind,
We find when asking, "Why am I?"
In our attempt to fill the void
We form a population cone
Around the economic pipe,
Each in a horizontal zone.
Our tries to fill the void with cash
Suck torrents of it out the top.
Since more will never be enough
The sucking force will never stop.
One at the top sucks in the most.
In zones below each one sucks less.
And in the base zone just to live,
Most often suck without success.
The capitalist 'cone' we form
Around the source of cash we need
Divides humanity so we're
Disintegrated by our greed.
Our tries have screwed our 'Mother' to
The point she's taking her last breath.
Our worship of Economy
Will cause our Mother Nature's death.👇more

A message to Prime Minister Mark Carney, please pass it on.
To the degree we grow our economy we suck the life out of our environment.
an excerpt of rhymed reason:
While risks of global warming rise
As CO2 clouds fill the skies
We put Economy ahead
Of forecasts that will leave us dead.
It's asinine for us to place
Life on this economic base
So life success and failure rides
On what Economy decides.
One billion of us fail life's test,
Seventy million pad a nest,
The rest of us "fight tooth and nail"
To get ahead so we'll prevail
Despite the fact that at our end
The cash we save we cannot spend.👇more

Indeed, with religions is one of the ways we try to fill the void with meaningless shit.
Religion is a human 'wrong'
With which we try to fill the void.
Humanity will not survive
Unless religions we avoid.
While hanging on to our beliefs
To others we....

Indeed!
The strikes that Greta started were
Indeed a wonder to behold.
But they did not effect the change
We need to make if truth be told.
The problem is they’re strikes against
The memes of all humanity
Which make a life we should agree
Defines the word

Humanity has repeated history and made it worse.
Destroying what’s left we could stop
Just by returning to the top.

When trying to fill the void more will never be enough.
Now leading tries to fill the void
There’s AI, but it will be tough.
Like all the other ways we try
More data will not be enough.
So second on our endless list
There's money and the life it buys.

an excerpt
We hear our ‘Mother’s’ plaintive cry
Of mourning, for the view is stark.
We're floundering and there's no ark.
In ages past to stay alive
We’d migrate, but we’d now arrive
At places where all are bereft
Because there’s simply nothing left.

The answer to why are we destroying life, an obviously "terrible thing" is because we are too stupid to understand our unnatural activity almost completely dominates our existence.
an excerpt of rhymed reason:
By Nature’s God LIFE was inspired
To self-create. LIVES were required
With natural activities
To reach to their capacities,
To others, and to Nature’s God,
The “WHY of Life” we would applaud.
Most LIVES had a creative past
Exclusively; ours didn’t last.
When given birth by “Why am I?”,
Our ‘parents’ feared not knowing why.
Unknowns they’d learned they should avoid.
With shit they tried to fill the void,
Unnatural activity
Diminishing what we could be.

For Greta, an excerpt of rhymed reason:
The strikes that Greta started were
Indeed a wonder to behold.
But they did not effect the change
We need to make if truth be told.
The problem is they’re strikes against
The memes of all humanity
Which make a life we should agree
Defines the word insanity.
To make the necessary change
In order to keep us alive,
We need to fully understand
The reason we may not survive
This devastating climate change
Creates our recent history
Where we can see among the facts
The climate’s enemy is ‘we’.👇more

From 9 years ago, an excerpt of rhymed reason:
Our climate’s breakdown is so fast,
The why we live it may not last,
A climate expert Hansen fears,
Beyond the 2030 years.
We're burning fuel for energy
To power an economy
We seem unable yet to learn
When we set fires, it's us we burn.
We're dying of increasing heat
That kills us and the food we eat
Directly, and too bakes the land
Diminishing our room to stand
That rising seas also decrease
As melting ice caps all release
More water than returns as snow.
What's more there is decreasing flow
From glaciers on mountain tops
And where flows end life clearly stops.
Increasing heat evaporates
More water, so precipitates
Amounts of rain beyond belief
That dried out land can bring relief.
The floods that take away our breath
Are causing Mother Nature’s death.
Another consequence is drought.
To keep the land from drying out
We suck up water from the ground
Diminishing what can be found.
A final unexpected drain
Is water needed for the ‘brain’
That makes up A-intelligence
Which is replacing Nature’s sense.
Heat also melts the permafrost
Releasing plagues that were long lost,
And methane gas which kills as well.
Heat too makes earth a deadly hell
By raising our earth’s temperature
Beyond which our life can endure.
The heat makes worse all hurricanes
When now they hit not much remains.
As heat is killing food we plant
It heats the oceans so they can't
Breath life into marine supplies
On which humanity relies.
It's heat that science also blames
For turning forests into flames
That burn Earth's lungs and also leave
Her breath impossible to breathe.
With heat and drought our deaths add up
By flooding or an empty cup.
Caused by the ‘death’ that fills the sky,
We hear our ‘Mother’s’ plaintive cry
Of mourning, for the view is stark.
We're floundering and there's no ark.
In ages past to stay alive
We’d migrate, but we’d now arrive
At places where all are bereft
Because there’s simply nothing left.👇more

I hate labels. We should flush them all and try to reclaim what is left of our existence by razing our vertical economy.

You are both wrong. Despair makes us want to jump off a high building. Hope make us hesitate, but sit and wait. It is wrong to divide us into 'they and we' or 'us and them' which seems to be the only way George thinks.
