The answer is a steady move away from materialism aka steadily cutting the ground from under our feet completely aka killing the goose that lays the whachamacallit aka treating our environment, upon which we depend, as an object, a mere thing. Rather than as what we require absolutely for our lives. As the man said, " Ecology. Look it up. You're involved."

If we don't find another way to organise ourselves, or live, as it's sometimes called, then the future is an immovable object.

Forget it, let's commit homo sapienscide. Why not.
