When I imagine history books written decades from now and how they will portray our time, I can't imagine any possibility other than them picturing us nearly entirely as cartoonishly and maliciously-stupid idiots for ignoring the problem and voting in people who treat the problem as a joke. Even if things happen to work out by luck, future generations will know we didn't apply ourselves and act on what we knew. I know I'm getting into rudely political territory for HN and polite conversational standards, but we're watching a terrible action in slow motion and we've convinced ourselves that it's rude to interrupt the perpetrators.
