People are smarter than you think. Its not that we have to invent stories as much as we have had our most important truthful stories burned or buried at the command of the sharp mercelious type A power grabbers. The Gnostics (knowledge holders) had a far more sensible and rational story of Christianity but were declared heretics by a bloodthirsty group of autocrates.

Intellectuals are always a stone in the shoe of tyrants and corporate profit whores.

The science of the coming food and water shortage has been around for thirty years. In the last ten years the worst sins against nature have been commited in the name of capitalism and freedon.

The same is true of climate science and the coming sea level rise.

As a result of the great finanicial "whoopsie" 14 trillion dollars of real assets have been divided between Wall St banks, insurance companies and all the ancillatory agencies that were supposed to guard the hen house.

With that 14 trillion we could have saved all the cities on the shores of the Mediteranean Sea, harvest valuable rexources from nearby asteroids, feed the poor, provide health care, build an infrastructure for the USA that might rival China SIngapore or Germany, go to Mars and any number of wonderful things instead of re-enriching 400 ultra rich families that are already rich.

Wherever science faces down disasters in the making by profitable global corporations they are naturally put on the defensive and attacked.

I have quoted I claudius here for over 10 years when he saw all the greedy plots for power leading to a great fall. He said "Let all the evil in the mud , hatch out"
Look around at Climate disasters on the rise, Fukushima, 95% fish depletion, Financial weapons of mass destruction, buried munitions & nerve weapons in the sea, oil/water/land/religious/ Wars..

The evil in the mud has reached its season and is now hatching out.


You can read Lenny Brown and get a positive optimistic spin on how and what we may still be able to save. However it will take alot of smart people with knowledge and clout to do the right things.
