While Ben’s optimism might be the type of medicine we all want, I think hiding our heads in the sand is what’s got us in this mess to begin with.

I think the fact that humans are able to treat pigs, as one example, so poorly is really indicative of the sickness that has pervaded our society.

Each of us, especially artists, needs to at the very least acknowledge that there are major challenges facing our generation, and, while the majority of the continent has a chance to cast their all too infrequent vote, we ought to damn well demand more; not just from our politicians, but from ourselves.

Plastic is fine, humans are strong, China's citizens are like a fucked up teenager that's just learning parent's can go fuck themselves and they are the future, and oil is peaking, but who cares, we can make other shit, don't sweat it. As for the pigs, it sound like the earth-cops got'em. Case closed. Right now we should be looking for new systems and principles, to hell with the ones we have now. There's plenty left to discover.
