Um, do you have any idea of what "continue to do what we have been doing" is going to look like in terms of human suffering?

The system is broken. The long decent into madness is completely unnecessary. The quicker it dies, the quicker we can pivot.

I think I do, yes. If you think it's within the same order of magnitude as "let it burn", I suspect you have a very limited imagination.

To paraphrase The Princess Bride: There's a big difference between "mostly broken" and "all broken". I don't think it's "all broken".

But the fast descent into madness may not be necessary either. And if not, then going there voluntarily is incredibly unwise.

Very large groups of people are already on the other side. They are ready and have been for a while. If you can't feel the squeeze, you consider yourself extremely lucky.
