On the other hand, I find it somewhat miraculous that the world (by which I mean society as we know it today and how we interract with the more “natural” environment) is functioning at all, given all sorts of horrible things we’ve done to [fill in the blank]. Which is to say: are things the same or are they really getting worse? The eternal dilemma, lol.

What does the last picture tell us about our culture? I have my own opinion, but then I’m a pessimist.
