All we know is that the planet needs plastic... etc. All due respect to Mr Carlin, the guy was insightful and funny, but a solution he did not provide. He mad

All we know is that the planet needs plastic... etc. All due respect to Mr Carlin, the guy was insightful and funny, but a solution he did not provide. He made a lot of money out of pointing out what was wrong with the setup, a solution to the shithole we're in was not part of his schtick. I love the man and will point people at his skit on 'save the whales' but nothing he's done or said changes shit. He would be the first to admit that btw. We're royally fucked.

You say we're royally fucked, meanwhile the condition of human existence, or the standard of living at the median, has done nothing but drastically improve over the last 5,000 / 500 / 100 / 50 years. We're the exact opposite of royally fucked. We've been dealt the greatest hand imaginable. Improvements in the human condition are accelerating by the decade.

  You've misread the thread. We're talking about the planet, not the fact we all get to live to 100.
