Obligatory:
"How do you think people have responded to the prospect of imminent doom? They gobbled it up like a chocolate eclair! They didn’t fear their demise, they repackaged it! It can be enjoyed as video games, as TV shows, books, movies – the entire world has wholeheartedly embraced the apocalypse, and is sprinting toward it with gleeful abandon.
Meanwhile, your Earth is crumbling all around you. You’ve got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation. Explain that one! Bees and butterflies start to disappear, the glaciers melt, algae blooms - all around you the coal mine canaries are dropping dead and you won’t take the hint!
In every moment there is the possibility of a better future, but you people won’t believe it. And because you won’t believe it, you won’t do what is necessary to make it a reality.
So you dwell on this oh-so-terrible future, you resign yourselves to it, for one reason – because that future doesn’t ask anything of you, TODAY. So, yes, you saw the iceberg, warned the Titanic, but you all just steered for it anyway, full steam ahead. Why? Because you want to sink. You gave up."
A bit peachy perhaps, but the soliloquy is still spot on.
