... in February...

I don't understand the planet anymore, and I don't think it understands itself, either. Like it's caught in the throes of the worst gaslighting it ever received. Like it's been reduced to a gibbering mess.

Honestly, I think greed is deep enough to cover it. Not trying to be dramatic or pithy with this, just that unchecked greed has pushed every system in direct contact with it to the breaking point, from climatic to social.

And the world as we know it is a very, very complex system, which is now cascading under the weight of its own inertial downfall, with subsystems feeding into eachother's failure.

It's a domino effect. We barely understood the implications of each piece before everything started falling apart, and now the distance between us and understanding is increasing as things are accelerating.
